    Wizards of the Coast Completes Acquisition of TSR Inc

    Maybe you should check the CompuServe forum GO WiZARDS for more info on that! :)

    D&D Reader App Coming This Fall? [UPDATED]

    Not that I have heard either and their website only mentions Dragon+ still. Not even any press releases from that media push in September. In other news, D&D Beyond is in testing of their app with some users (myself included). It does everything the news articles said the D&D Reader app...

    Unearthed Arcana Spores, Brutes, and Inventors: Unearthed Arcana Brings You Three New Subclasses

    I'm running Out of the Abyss, so the spore druid might be fun to play with as an NPC. As for the School of Invention, I hope it's not just a flavor hanger to test a mechanic like DEFCON 1 says, because I really like the concept and the mechanics! Admittedly, it is one of those very limited...

    Blowing it All Up and Starting Over

    To be fair, you are making a bit of a false dilemma there. World shattering events are absolutely not necessary to a product line (as you can see in just about every RPG setting other than FR). :) There's plenty of other possibilities. Setting books can go into more depth with different...

    Blowing it All Up and Starting Over

    You're right, I shouldn't have been so definitive, since it is a matter of taste. I can see the appeal of the multiple realities solution you mention, but, to me personally, it seems to add even more unnecessary complexity than the Realms Shattering Events. It certainly works well for...

    Blowing it All Up and Starting Over

    That is tricky and a catch-22, unfortunately. If they instead had the gods change the eyesight of all of those races or something in the Great Vision Shifting or whatever, it would have been awful fiction, in my opinion. Having it just be hand-waved without comment, to me at least, seemed like...

    Blowing it All Up and Starting Over

    I have always loved FR... by completely ignoring all of this nonsense. :) The grey box was great back in high school, and then years later the 3.0 FRCS hardcover was awesome for when I got back into gaming. Those are basically all we ever needed. If you completely ignore all of the Realms...

    Face The Brutality Of The Dark Sun Campaign Setting

    I never got to play in the setting as much as I wanted with only a brief campaign waaaay back in high school, but during the 4e era, I always thought it seemed like it would be a good fit for the setting. I still have tons of ideas for Dark Sun characters and campaigns sitting in an old Trapper...

    X Marks the Spot: What's This Magic: The Gathering D&D Adventure?

    Apparently, it's a print exclusive for attendees: Also, James Wyatt said that Plane Shift: Ixalan is coming in January: However, the promise of "more D&D adventures in Magic's multiverse" at DMs Guild sounds intriguing.

    Over Half Of New D&D Players Got Into Game From Watching Online Play

    For all that is good in this world, I hope no one watches HarmonQuest to learn the mechanics of the game!! Yikes!!! ;)

    Over Half Of New D&D Players Got Into Game From Watching Online Play

    Just backing up, I disagree with your premise. Why is it an "instead"? Where is the evidence that they don't do both? In fact, the article gives a lot of evidence that that is exactly what is happening - they are watching and playing: Of course, without full surveys and what not, there's no...

    Paizo New Roundup With Extra Ultimate Wilderness

    I recall back when Eric Noah started this site because he was excited about the upcoming D&D third edition. Post after post was filled with excitement - from him and others. It was fun to read bout people enjoying the game and excited about new products. Eventually Morrus took it over and has...

    The State of D&D: Products, Psionics, Settings, & More

    When they do Planescape, my personal guess is what Volo’s Guide is to the Monster Manual, that book would be to the Manual of the Planes. It will fill the same sort of role, but in a reimagined and heavily flavored way. Which I would be overjoyed with, so maybe there’s some wishful thinking. :)

    The State of D&D: Products, Psionics, Settings, & More

    Given how much setting information exists in prior editions, I think it would be great if they included even just a single page of “For more information on X part of this world, check out this pdf on DMsGuild” etc. with a couple sentences about some useful prior edition PDFs. It shouldn’t be...

    WotC Is Hiring A New D&D Game Designer

    Definitely sounds like a great opportunity, primarily for a young talent, or at very least someone not having not support a family. With D&D really doing well, I’m optimistic for the first time since the 3.0 days for WotC’s growth. I wouldn’t trade my kids away, but sometimes makes me wonder if...

    North Texas RPG Convention Refuses To Listen To Harassment Concerns

    If you are concerned with getting the facts right, why did you not also report that only 1 person in the RPG.Net thread mentioned shutting down the convention and they got slapped down by both a moderator and pretty much everyone else on the thread?

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    999 is the UK's 911. (Or maybe 911 is the US's 999. :) Either way 911 is primarily a North American thing) "Obnoxious virtue signalling" is one of those go-to's that people like to use against those they disagree with, but in reality doesn't really exist enough to be an issue. People condemn...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    If you are referring to the screenshot that Matt Finch posted without permission to RPG.net and other places, no it absolutely does not say what you claim it is saying. Why are you trying so very hard to deny something that there is no disagreement about among those who were actually there?
