    7 Years of D&D Stories? And a "Big Reveal" Coming?

    It's marketed as an RPG when it is "seemingly designed as a set of Minis Skirmish Combat rules with aspirations of appealing to CRPG and MMORPG gamers then squeezed into a very thin tabletop RPG skin." Or are you purposefully missing the point? I can't tell. So, I'm not going to engage with...

    At Least 4 Months For Conversion Documents

    The more to it seems to be that just about everyone is focused on whether it is reasonable to expect them to leave it sit four to six months while someone is off at jury duty rather than why the conversion docs weren't developed prior to release with the help of legions of playtesters then...

    7 Years of D&D Stories? And a "Big Reveal" Coming?

    Naw. My own opinion and the one I most hear shared is that it's major flaw is that it is "seemingly designed as a set of Minis Skirmish Combat rules with aspirations of appealing to CRPG and MMORPG gamers then squeezed into a very thin tabletop RPG skin." That doesn't require me accept your...

    7 Years of D&D Stories? And a "Big Reveal" Coming?

    You really don't if you ever thought and still think that . . . Because this is the mark of someone who doesn't get it and doesn't want to get it. I'm going to be at a convention this weekend and there will be dozens and dozens of different RPGs being played where the attendance is going to...

    March: What are you watching?

    The one show I hate to miss is Elementary. I enjoy several others but figure if I miss them I'll have something I can enjoy about the show somewhere down the line ("I didn't see this episode the first time around!"). Gotham is pretty good, and Better Call Saul. I really get a kick out of...

    I've jumped around a bit :)

    Thanks for the info! :) It does evoke something being immediately on the horizon. Someone should use it for the name of a laxative. :D

    At Least 4 Months For Conversion Documents

    I think the "N" in the "DND" proceeding the "next" threw me off. :p So, why would the adventures coming out "immediately following in time" from now not already be 5E adventures?

    Has the term "Next" been appropriated to mean something other than 5E?

    At Least 4 Months For Conversion Documents

    Some still come around and are traditionally some of the biggest supporters and contributors to EN World, though the number is relatively fewer than in the early days. They might not always be the perfect diplomats but generally speaking their hearts seem in the right place. :)

    7 Years of D&D Stories? And a "Big Reveal" Coming?

    Can we triple our prescience with unchained monkeys flinging darts?

    7 Years of D&D Stories? And a "Big Reveal" Coming?

    You're not wrong. That being the case, does the ongoing debate seems to become more about who is doing D&D best?

    At Least 4 Months For Conversion Documents

    I concur but with different details. Nevertheless, let's cite this as additional common ground. :p

    At Least 4 Months For Conversion Documents

    I think you've summed up our positions pretty well but there is a bit of a disconnect here. It's not like they never planned on having a conversion guide, and never said they would have one. They did plan one, have worked on one, and have delayed it almost to the point of it being no use for...

    I am looking forward to catching Insurgent on the big screen and in 3D. :)

    At Least 4 Months For Conversion Documents

    Okay, we have some common ground. Well, not the only question but I agree it is an important one. You're arguing from of position of believing it is a foregone conclusion that profits trump quality, support, and customer satisfaction (not that quality, support, and/or customer satisfaction...

    At Least 4 Months For Conversion Documents

    That's probably some good basic conversion advice. I think that would be enough to get many of us here on EN World started on dealing with a conversion on our own though we'd probably miss more than a few things without a standard official checklist of some kind. And we'd certainly not all...

    At Least 4 Months For Conversion Documents

    Stating an issue that exists as problematic allows it to be openly discussed and when others disagree with a position they engage in civil debate to test their own theories as well as to come to a better understanding of the positions of others. I see no reason for you and I to have a...
