    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Dungeons & Dragons 2020 Product Survey

    In going through which classic treatments WotC has used (Giants? Check. Dragons? Check Ravenloft? Check Drow/Underdark? Check), I've had a Temple of the Frog/City of the Gods/Barrier Peaks/Tale of the Comet mashup on the wish list for years, now.....

    D&D General Did D&D Die with TSR?

    Seems like someone needs to listen to the "Five Generations of Designers" Garycon panel, that was on the Plot Points Podcast: (cool, didn't know it'd embed the podcast stream thingie in there!)

    WOIN WOIN questions

    I would run PSI/MAG/CHI as separate stats: your character would need to expend experience a-la-carte or take a career that advances the relevant attribute.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden the New D&D Adventure?

    D&D General What are the "dead settings" of D&D?

    The Piazza paints a slightly different picture of the "alive-ness" of some of these settings...

    D&D General Do people like re-skinning?

    I'm pretty sure it's required that you re-color your monster if you add hit dice, add to damage, or change a property of an attack ;)

    D&D General Who's your villain?

    Bargle. Con man, swindler, thief, murderer... and those are his better qualities. He is currently on the run, after having stolen the Black Opal Eye, and Fire Opal Eyes of Traldar for some (no doubt) nefarious purpose.

    OD&D Edition Experience: Did/Do you Play BECM/RC D&D? How Was/Is It?

    One of the older GaryCon panels, it was noted that the Expert Set was regarded by some as being more-advanced-than-Advanced D&D, I think, due to it expanding into areas like wilderness exploration and name-level keeps/temples/guild/tower building not as the endgame, with a minimum of rules for...

    WOIN Tell me about O.L.D.

    Many of the rules and systems are the same, with a bit of reskinning. Rather than a stellar naval academy, an O.L.D. equivalent may be the skyship branch of a fantasy nation's navy. The hallmark of O.L.D. has to be the freeform magic system: a verb (magic skill)+noun (secret) combination that...
