I do remember that. Not sure how long that lasted. Guess they just couldn't help themselves as every corner of the setting seems mapped out and novelized.

Thanks, I wasn't aware that Salvatore's new novels advanced the timeline.

1479 is the year in the 4th edition FR Campaign Guide, I'm just curious if they will advance it past that. I don't keep up with the novels so I have no idea where the canon is for the "present" time, and my Google fu is failing me. My hope is that adventures like the Lost Mine of Phandelver or...

Imprisonment is the one that made me go wow because the caster gets to choose five ways to imprison their foe, and all the choices feel like high fantasy.

I have sort of a love/dislike for the Forgotten Realms. I love the maps and all the support it's gotten in the past, and the overall flavor of it, and many of the factions and settings within it, but I dislike a few things about running a game in any established campaign setting. I like to...

Some good stuff in here; I can only think of one thing: 3d printing service for miniatures. Your local FLGS buys or leases a 3d printer supported by WotC (or a licensed third party). WotC creates D&D miniature designs for that printer based on official artwork in core books and adventures...

They are off to a good start in this area too by getting companies like Kobold Press to help with that. Outsourcing / licensing D&D adventure creation means more adventures, a larger variety of adventure types, and probably higher quality.

1. Modularity - Love the idea that I can have a basic set of core rules that I can quickly teach players and get up and running fast but adopt more rules later for more detail, and dials that I can turn to customize the game to be the campaign I want to run without having to write a book of...

It's like the Great Wheel now has spinners.

Morale rules as an optional module would be great for DM's desiring such mechanics. I'd certainly not like to see it in the core though; most of the time they simply are not needed or desired. I've used them when I can't decide what the monsters are thinking though, so I don't think they are...

I like skills optional because I think many more groups than people realize just don't care about these rules. Most people who began playing before 3e probably don't have as much of a problem with skills being optional. They can get by just fine with ability score checks, and don't need all...

I like material components, but I can understand how the ones that lean more toward the silly side could annoy, and I'd be fine with changing or eliminating those. As opinions seems to vary about what is considered silly, I think they should be removed from the core and put in a module.

I would like to think this is their intention. Or maybe they just feel this is the way it should be, but regardless, I do believe they listen to feedback so it's all fine. It's worth noting that it's not an evil act to cast animate dead, technically it's a "non-good action", and of course a...

I never said you could or couldn't post about something, I only asked you not to belittle my concerns. I even said please. It is clear you don't want to discuss the topic, and have chosen to put words in my mouth instead, so ok whatever.

I am thankful that I have the time to talk about D&D on these forums even though there are much more real issues to talk about. Your definition of real issues might differ from mine, and that's ok. Which parts of D&D I find worthy of discussion may differ from parts that you find worthy, but...

The spell animate dead makes me concerned for warlocks. If animating dead cannot be a good act, then what sort of alignment restrictions will be on most of the warlock spell list, or perhaps the class itself? Good necromancers and warlocks should be viable and not have their spell lists...

Hard to playtest without some adventuring material, so they were hardly giving stuff away out of the goodness of their hearts. I'm not asking for anything free. I would like however, the ability to purchase all the material, even if it is playtesting, and it could still be at GenCon first to...

I didn't call them idiots. Nor am I whining like an entitled brat. I just disagreed with their decision.

Never underestimate the ability of a game publisher to cut its own throat. I can understand the desire for exclusivity, particularly with a beta product so they assess reactions and keep costs low. But personally, I think they would be better served by making it more available, at least in the...

I've never heard players cheer at my table as loud as when they roll two 20's when they have disadvantage though!
