You do realize this isn't the third and final adventure for the Sundering Trilogy right? It's an encounters adventure that is part of the Sundering storyline, but not an actual product that was ever meant to be sold on shelves. Much like Vault of the Dracolich.

The Gazetteers are hands down, some of the best region supplements I've ever owned. Can't wait for them to come out on pdf (again).

I actually love the fact that the book uses art from all previous editions of D&D in addition to new 5e concept art.

If you want something to sell well, especially if it's expensive, you don't release it in January.

At this point I don't think any current company is an ideal Steward of D&D. They're all too small and too narrowly focused on their favored edition to represent the breadth and width of all editions of D&D, it's retro-clones and the fans.

Will see how it goes. Already play 1e and Pathfinder... and a game where I could ratchet complexity up or down via modules would be great. If Wizards manages to make it work well. Would I stay with it? Who knows. I may move back to Castles & Crusades Or go to Dungeon World from Pathfinder...

I don't think anyone is claiming the 40th Anniversary will dominate the news or bring in a ton of new people. But it will give D&D more visibility and mind share then it's had in years. Especially when table-top RPGs currently have near zero visibility with the general public in recent years. It...

Pretty much set for 2014 unless something disastrous happens. As Canuck pointed out - the 40th anniversary is next year. Its mind share during the next year among ex-gamers and non gamers should be higher than it has been at any point in the last decade. And that'll be just from free advertising...

It's a travesty because the skills rules module wasn't in it? It's not like it's a core part of the game. They have some fine tuning to do on the math before releasing the skills module in the next packet, it's not like it's been forever replaced.

Given all the wizard schools that they still need to put in the PHB, it makes sense that sorcerers and warlocks won't be in the first book.

Since did magic using creatures have metagame knowledge on saving throws and abilities that effect them? Or when have they actually done dice simulations on them?

It may be better if they just tie the Paladin to a type of Deity as opposed to an alignment. Much like the Cleric. A Paladin of nature deities would be a Warden, those of Livegivers/Lightbringers may resemble the standard paladin, etc... After all, a LG god of peace and a god of justice...

Played this on Saturday. We only had two tables, with six players and a DM at each. It was a fun and unique experience, especially hearing updates on the progress of the other group, as well as running from what we thought was a (real) Dracolich, into a magical gate to escape, only to find him...

I am. Bought quite a few of their books, also, they're a good bunch of people. Though I would also say I'm a D&D fan, Hackmaster Fan and OSR fan in general.

I would say that's unbelievable, but considering the attitudes I've personally encountered in the video game industry, it's sadly not surprising.

Agreed. I don’t think the amount of half dressed women still running around today’s rpg books can be understated. Even Paizo, who is considered something of a high water mark in this industry for gender and LGBT equality, still has serious issues with their art. Take a look at the NPC Codex*...

I would actually like to see more of Ben Wootten in D&D Next. The ranger picture below is what I would prefer D&D Next's art to look like. Actual backgrounds, stylish, yet more realistic then a majority of D&D 3e-4e and Pathfinder's art. (The pic below is actually from 4e essentials) I have...

I must be missing what the big deal is. These were done several months ago and they've already said things like proportions (feet legs and such )would change, as it was just the style they were going with at the time. They've also said for final art in the rule-books they want it to be more...

Same here, love PDFs. I prefer my iPad for reading rather than using physical books. I have no issue with buying them, and in fact I'm starting to buy pdf's almost exclusively. There are exceptions of course, and books like the Hacklopedia of Beasts are too beautiful to not have a physical copy...
