I think the WotC law firm is enjoying the IndieGoGo drive increasing because it directly translates into fees that will be awarded when the case is dismissed.

The Trademark is worthless without the associated IP. WotC owns the IP copyright in toto. They purchased it in 1997 and continue to sell that IP to this day. What WotC cannot do is market new material as TSR, which why would they? Apparently, NuTSR can't even pitch new material without using...

So Ernie isn't a bad man, just weak and ineffective? Or willing to be tied to bad people to make a buck? Weird flex.

The Grift goes ever on... Ernie Gygax never warranted any thought in my head, positive or negative. Now every time I read his name, I have a cringe of disgust. A cringe is about all I can muster for him because there is nothing there. This lawsuit shows everything about NuWonderfulTSR is...

Yes, go on... I like the spell. Spells need a bit more magic manipulation in them. Silvery Barbs is better than Bane for representing a hex/ minor curse. It also gives a game representation of magical duels between casters other than Counterspell. It is a powerful 1st level spell, no doubt. Too...

Contract Attorney?

Prestidigitation can petrify an object maybe? So the apprentice can shuck his own Newt eyeballs and finger-wave a batch of components. Even better is that the component IS mustard seed, but the self-important warlock assumes it is literally the petrified eye of a newt and spends countless gold...

I always loved the mimic and mimic-adjacent monsters, the lurker, trapper, to some extent the Cloaker. Nothing induces paranoia better than the entire dungeon environment trying to actively kill you.

I2 Tomb of the Lizard King was always a favorite of mine. I7 Baltron's Beacon could have been lifted from Lanhkmar.

Atomic Arcade sounds like a loader program like Battelnet or STEAM lite. I imagine they could easily incorporate links to D&DB and access to their upcoming digital titles. Until we see them actually talk about a beta for a VTT or an attempt to bring back an official message board, I think a...

Dark Sun, Spelljammer, and Greyhawk.

I am excited for this film. I like the standalone nature and its exclusion from the DCEU. It seems to take a lot from The Long Halloween. The cast looks amazing and the gritty feel of Gotham looks fantastic. Batman is a sociopath. A high-functioning sociopath with incredible wealth and a need to...

I guess I am neutral about them being relegated to folklore in D&D. It doesn't preclude me from having them in my home games if I so desire. I guess I don't understand why WotC felt the need to dismiss them in a sidebar at all. They may want to revisit steel and song dragons in a future project...

But what of those abilities scream 'Ranger'? I loved my ranger in 1E because he was a fighter, but better. The character type is iconic. The character mechanics are mushy at best. The community has more consensus on psionics than the ranger, but it sits in the PHB, taking of page space. What...

I am surprised the Dragon book took this long to come out. It is a popular book in every edition and half the name of the game. I definitely don't need it, but it may have ideas to mine for other BBEGs. Strixhaven has too much that I want to strip mine for campaigns. I am genuinely intrigued to...

Ranger. It is a class without a purpose. A warrior who tracks? A mystic woodsman? Buff Pokemon trainer? Ranger is a subclass to better base classes. The Spell-less Ranger is a fighter with an appropriate outdoorsy background. I am at a loss how a ranger is its own class anymore, other than...

A prehistoric wizard might, instead of memorizing spell formulas, build small satchels or effigies with spell components that are crushed or untied or undone in some way while saying a word of power. Wizards already have a built-in mechanic for 'weapon breakage', they have spell components...

Maybe a sourcebook/adventure set in the plane-spanning Illithid Empire before the Gith uprising? Or perhaps set in the Court of the Githyanki Lich Queen Vlaakith. An Empire of the Spider Throne adventure during the rule of Vecna and Kas would be fun as well.

I know that my desire for a new psionics subsystem is a pipe dream with the conservative design the WotC currently pursues. I still do not see many of the other components necessary for Dark Sun to be one of the settings except maybe the 2023 one. You still need defiling/preserving playtested...
