    New D&D Adventure Reveal On 17th May at 'The Descent'

    You know, most of me thinks they wouldn't run another underdark demon thing again. However, they did leave a huge plot thread hanging in Out of the Abyss. Supposedly Lolth orchestrated the whole thing to get the other demon lords out of the way while she executed some plan. They never specified...

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    Well, now that I've backed the thing and become a shameless shill, I'll mention that they are only a few grand from funding the Numenera campaign setting conversion, which would make the full haul: 1) Main Arcana of the Ancients book; 2) A bestiary, and 3) a campaign setting. (As well as the...

    [Merged] D&D forum renaming thread

    I don't know. Clicking the 5E filter (or whatever) doesn't feel like that much of a burden to me. But that's just my opinion. Question though: Is it possible to get tags added to existing threads that don't have them? At least fairly current ones? (Like, for example, The Ghost of Saltmarsh Maps...

    Vecna v Acererak v Larloch? Who's The Most Powerful Lich?

    I believe I have the definitive answer to this question: Whichever one you happen to think is coolest. AD

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    Apparently those two new stretch goals were pretty appealing. They hit their next one in about a day and a half. I'm guessing that most of this is excitement about the possibility of the Numenera 5e setting rather than the core book expansion they just hit. But it's nice to see that they're...

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    Well, you can do the $60 and get the physical book as an add on. But that's still $110, so I doubt it changes your feelings about it. And nor will I try! I think they are relying on knocking out enough stretch goals to make each of the pledge levels a really good value. I think that has been...

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    Well, functionally, everyone $60 and above does get at least a pdf of all the stretch material, with the exception of the retailer pledge and the one where you get 'the best game ever' book. That said, while I see what you are saying, I never really thought of stretch goals quite that way...

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    I feel I should add, after my little bit of a downer post, that I think the Arcana of the Ancients idea is awesome. I think that even what they've hit so far is awesome (main book plus monster book). And I'm excited to get them even if it doesn't go any further. So I encourage folks to support...

    Arcana of The Ancients: 5E Sci-Fantasy From Monte Cook Games Launches On KS

    You get precisely what they say you get in the given pledge tier. It's just that as the stretch goals are hit the value you get at a given tier increases. And that's it. So, as Reynard points out, currently, the $160 level is not really a good value. They seem confident that it will be by the...

    Odyssey of the Dragonlords Player's Guide is Free!

    Yes. They are apparently almost done with the pdf for the campaign book. They hope to deliver the digital book in May. They'll be kickstarting for a print run in April. Go here: https://www.arcanumworlds.com/blog Search on kickstarter and you'll find it. AD

    Morgrave Miscellany: Eberron Sourcebook from Keith Baker

    That's fair. And I don't at all disagree that he should feel free to work on private Eberron projects while Wayfinder's is being finalized. I just thought it was worth mentioning that WotC were definitely getting his input (which I know is important to some folks). Also, having looked at...

    Morgrave Miscellany: Eberron Sourcebook from Keith Baker

    That said, Jeremy Crawford on one of his Dragon + chats on twitch said that he was working with Keith on the Artificer. At the very least getting extensive input. AD

    Morgrave Miscellany: Eberron Sourcebook from Keith Baker

    Yeah, I think the reasoning was that if you were an early adopter and paid for print on demand that you might be angry to find that they added the artificer later and you were out of luck without paying again. AD

    GameHole Con Hints At An "As Yet Unannounced Setting" for D&D This Year

    And this week on twitch they recorded two LYSK segments. One was on the Forgotten Realms three dead gods. There other was on the Nine Hells. At the end of each segment Chris and Greg had a brief interaction that strongly hinted that both segments had topics that would relate to future products...

    WotC Is Mike Mearls Happy Hour still a thing?

    Well, he still appears to be working at WotC, since he was DM'ing games in an official capacity at Gary Con. I'd guess there's either a gag order or a 'very strongly suggest you keep quite on social media' situation. But just guessing of course. AD

    GameHole Con Hints At An "As Yet Unannounced Setting" for D&D This Year

    Nathan Stewart confirms every month (without really being asked) that they are not doing Spelljammer. He then goes on to drop shameless Spelljammer hints over an over again, both in the streams and on twitter. Nathan Stewart is messing with us. I think he has successfully made it impossible to...

    Dragon Talk Interview with Kate Welch re Ghosts of Saltmarsh

    He is at GaryCon. There are folks who have tweeted about being at his table. And he even showed up in a picture. So they haven't shut him in a WotC dungeon. But, yeah, he's staying awfully quiet. AD
