You take that back. Grell is the ultimate expression of monster form and function. It is the apex. Perfection. Plus, no one uses Grell for anything and I miss them.

Godspeed : a prosperous journey : SUCCESS

If Honor Among Thieves does well, I can guarantee there will be a Drizzt movie or prestige TV series in the works. If it flops, WotC will wait another decade.

I am hoping the tentacles mean a Grell and not a Kraken. I suppose it could be Demogorgon... But with the Intellect Devourer, we know it is Mind Flayers. I don't know. I remain optimistic this will be a fun movie. I do agree they will go with a lighter tone to start. Truthfully, if the movie...

Safe trip and godspeed, Jenny. I can not imagine the loss Ed is feeling now. A very passionate man, Mr. Greenwood, and 45 years is a long time. May his friends and family hold him close.

Bookmarked! We will see what the future holds for Constructo with great interest.

The spin for this 'drop' is good. There is demand that is not being met. More products in other areas can push the value of D&D further.

Hmm, now I am imagining half-elves and giant spawn...

I don't know. It sounds like we may get the Spelljammer Imperial Navy with its elven supremacy. If some Astral Elves work for the Empire and some work against it, there is no reason to stereotype the Astral Elves as all brutal or all benign. I really enjoy the concept of the Astral being a...

Why wouldn't elves have guns as well? They had Undead Giant Insect exosuits and could form Voltron. The Imperial Elven Navy was terrifying.

And that is the problem of Planescape and Dark Sun. They are defined by artists who had a definitive style that they applied to their own art and other products. I loved the art of Dark Sun. I only used the original box set for the games I ran. The setting immediately was changed dramatically...

Again I don't know that anyone in the design group actually likes psionics. From what has been released they enjoy the wizard class and spell slots. Sorcerer is a bit underwhelming as a class and poor warlock has a bunch of half-baked ideas pushed into it to fill out. Why is Mystic Arcanum? Why...

I believe he is referring to the Korranberg Chronicle: Psionics Primer Here I am cautiously optimistic about what Arcanis comes up with. Codex of the Mind isn't set to come out for a bit, but they clearly love psionics. Preview Here

His reaction to seeing the BG3 trailer having a nautiloid is pure delight. You can see him thinking 'That is it! That was what I imagined.'

This doesn't surprise me at all. D&D novels took up several shelves even in my tiny local independent bookstore. In a B. Dalton or Waldenbooks, it was entire sections of shelves. And it moved! Until it didn't. The intriguing worlds explored with strong voices began to be diluted by many...

Pretty much psionics is what we got in Tasha's. I doubt they will even create more subclasses. I think Mearls was the only champion for psionics, the rest of the design crew is not interested (not haters just not enthused by it). They did several iterations of psionics in UA and consistently got...

I believe the setting contest was a brilliant marketing device. Eberron was a campaign by committee ultimately, but Keith Baker's passion for the setting has been a constant. I think that is what a lot of the smaller selling settings lacked, a champion and face to put to the setting. FR has Ed...

Hmm, so my experience with Planescape sales was not just anecdata or at least corresponded with the actual data. What is interesting is what happened after WotC acquired TSR and what happened with setting sales. 3E focused mainly on FR and Eberron with 2 small Greyhawk books to promote RPGA. 4E...

Giant Planescape of Many Things confirmed!

I can't wait to see the Planescape numbers. I suspect they will be in line with Dark Sun and Ravenloft. I can see why WotC has been so setting shy with 5E. The numbers reported lend themselves more to a strategy of combining setting into a module to hit as many target groups as you can.
