I never thought of it like that. Maybe I just projected my value system on to everyone and assumed they wanted serious. I would argue that maybe this is evidence that a product is often dumbed down for mainstream success. I've also never met anyone who quoted Quest for peace. Wheras...

You might have a point there. Given how the UK general election turned out and how everybody I know believed it was gonna turn out, the reality filter concept is one I'm beginning to believe in many walks of life.

If we don't count stuff that I've heard of before, then both izombie & MITHC both count as 'done before' I'd also add that Grimm isn't exactly a new or underused idea (Fables/Once Upon A Time/10th Kingdom). Sleepy Hollow technically re-uses stuff but I'll give you that. It's still as much of a...

About this, I don't disagree. It perhaps explains why we haven't seen so much of it. You also have to have a very specific type of player to enjoy a situation where, for example, you have to let a village be wiped out to save a nation. My actual point (probably lost in bad examples) was that I...

There's an Alan Moore quote about the idea that having the nostalgia of the last century being our only entertainment and escape in this one can't be healthy and despite Moore's gift for hyperbole and general Brummy grumpiness, he's got a point. The issue for me doesn't arise from saturation but...

I am a bit confused because the Zuggtmoy's wedding sequence is in chapter 17 (which I assume is at the end of the book and therefore a hard adventure with a big challenge) and yet her minions are CR 1/8 & 2....this is a little odd. But I hold out faith. I have no problem if the rest of the...

Perkins shared this in the podcast on wizards website at some point. In it he really clears up that as far he's concerned, this adventure has almost no driz stuff in and even if it did, taking it out would be somewhat easy. I have no idea why people get caught up in this: they won't publish an...

I like the idea of a shared universe and used to love spelljammering around avoiding the flying pig cavalry too. I just worry that in doing so each setting loses a little bit of it's flavour. Dark Sun especially but others too.They go to all the trouble of creating a way in the DMG of saying...

I've run D&D settings without gods, it took me like five minutes of work.I just said 'no clerics'. That seemed to do it. If you take out the class that is based on divine power and want to have no divine power then a preacher is better represented by a bard. That's arcane magic which seems not...

Yaarel, I love you man. Any attempt to get them to drop the gods, you take it. :D What have you got against them anyhow? Just in case this comes across as nasty, I mean it with a amused but respectful curiosity.

In a recent podcast on the website, Chris Perkins said that 'not all adventure paths will be 1-15' what that means, I'm less sure.

I Want that Gadget Guides book from Green Ronin for Mutants & Masterminds (Second picture, top left) so bad but but's basically unavailable as a printed product in England.

I thought that too but I don't think they'll announce anything. It's just odd that SCAG was announced the week before....

If a product is outsourced we say it's bad because they didn't do any work and Wotc accept the blame [not the outsourced writers]. If we think it isn't wotc still take the blame as it's 'not hiring enough staff'. So what we are really arguing is how we're exactly going to blame wizards. I'm...

If we're only counting stuff people use, you'd have to throw out quite a lot of stuff from AD&D - Unless you visited boot hill on a regular basis. It's also a kind of odd argument becuase everyone uses different things.

I'm aware this is a tangent but why don't you just run realms adventures that have nothing to do with the gods? I know that without the gods realms isn't really realms per se but I'm pretty sure campaigns have been run without them being the only feature.

To be fair, I'm not complaining about the book until I see what's like, I'm just voicing the opinion that I don;t know what to think about it and can't predict what will happen if it is successful. But I take your point. I probably won't buy it but largely cause I can't afford to buy more than a...

Also, (sorry to post this after) I feel like if we all buy this Wizards/hasbro won't go 'They want settings/splat' but will instead go 'tying it into video games is working!' which is not my motivation for buying the book.

I have NO IDEA how to feel about this product. It's seems good but if it's all they ever release for the realms - nothing else and it turns out to be as advert focused as Dragon+ I'm gonna be pissed. If it's 'We've done everything in the sword coast now, here's a book, our next adventure will be...

Given that they've said it's 'giant focused' and 'based on shakespeare' if they can fit psionics in their as well, I'm buying the hades out of that - Against The Psionic Shakespearean Giants! Though I say all UA articles as ofyet haven't shown up anywhere else.
