    TSR settings sales numbers from Ben Riggs, starting with Lankmar, Maztica, Al-Qadim and Planescape!

    Third party, but Adventures in Rokugan might scratch the OA itch. I can't speak to how well it threads the needle of Asian fantasy themes and modern sensibilities, though.

    TSR The Full & Glorious History of NuTSR

    And Peter Adkison, too.

    D&D 5E (2014) Planescape shows up in the wild. Tease from Chris Perkins.

    I, too, was shocked by the dark turn that  Toon took.

    D&D 5E (2014) Planescape shows up in the wild. Tease from Chris Perkins.

    In an attempt to change the tenor of this thread a bit, I'll just say that I'm looking forward to seeing what's in this release. Planescape is more or less a blank slate for me. In the 2e era I was pretty much all-in on the Forgotten Realms (though I flirted with Dragonlance) and I didn't have a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Poll: Which Official Adventures Have You Run or Played in To Completion?

    I've played individual chapters and tie-in adventures (mainly through Adventurers League play), but actually completed very few of the published 5E adventures. The only ones I've seen through to the end are Dragon Heist, a campaign I joined about halfway through anyway, and my current campaign...

    D&D 5E (2014) Book: Inside the World of Dungeons and Dragons

    Hey, I'm not glad about it either.

    D&D 5E (2014) Book: Inside the World of Dungeons and Dragons

    Sadly, I'm aware, but I still think MOST people know they're rubbish, even if A LOT more than is healthy take it as gospel truth (pun intended).

    D&D 5E (2014) Book: Inside the World of Dungeons and Dragons

    I think MOST people (thankfully) appreciate Chick tracts ironically, at least today, but they were certainly intended straight-faced. Quite a few years back (Chick was still alive), I looked into acquiring "Dark Dungeons," which had gone out of print...but you could get a run of it reprinted if...

    D&D 5E (2014) Book: Inside the World of Dungeons and Dragons

    I have this; picked it up at Target shortly before the movie came out. It's actually a reprint of the UK-published magazine Dungeons & Dragons Annual 2021--you can tell by some Anglicisms that creep in, the high volume of puzzles and games, and the focus on then-recent campaigns (so much Icewind...

    D&D Movie/TV Here Come The D&D Movie Gaming Tie-Ins!

    Doing some necro on this thread to ask: What happened with this? Did it ever come out? I can't find anything about it online after a cursory Googling, not a list of contents or an unboxing video or anything. Even the item page on the company website comes up as a 404 Error.

    E. Gary Gygax Sr. May Have Had Another, More Recent Will?

    EDIT: Didn't realize I was responding to a three-year-old comment. Move along, move along.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Schley hints at something bigger than Phandelver, The Book of Many Things, and even Planescape!

    I don't think they'll try something that drastic again any time soon after how badly they got burned with it on 4E. I'm in favor of the method Paizo employed in their edition transition: Advance it, say, a year (or five or whatever)--just long enough to keep whatever they wanted to stay in play...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    There's a comic book series called DIE (with an associated RPG whose crowdfunding is about to ship) that basically functions on this premise.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    I've got it on order from my local comic shop; I had hoped it would be out when I picked up my stuff this past week, but no such luck.

    ToV Project Black Flag Reveal Its Official Title: 'Tales of the Valiant'!

    LOL And I just thought the opposite! Perhaps it tested well.

    ToV Project Black Flag Reveal Its Official Title: 'Tales of the Valiant'!

    ...Not a great name. Did they publicly float any options?

    D&D Movie/TV DADHAT hits $80,856,963 box office

    Saw the movie again Thursday afternoon and liked it even more the second time (better sound system helped, too). Our auditorium was pretty bare, but it was a weekday matinee, so not unexpected; as we left, the place was crawling with families there to see the early showtimes of Mario. I suspect...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D: Honor Among Thieves Open Discussion [Full Spoilers]

    I'd have to see it again to confirm, but I believe the dialogue never explicitly identifies him as Elminster (Simon says something to the effect of "You're my ancestor" or great-grandfather or something to that effect, as others have noted), so there's wiggle room there. Since it turned out to...

    Shadowdark Shadowdark looks so good!

    Misjudged the timing of the ending and wound up missing the crowdfunding. Anyone know if they're planning on Late Pledges?
