    D&D 5E (2024) When are we getting announcements for 2026 books?

    Well, last year we got that announcement at the very end of August...but a lot has changed since then, and that wasn't a regular established rather previously anyways. So, maybe soon, maybe not for a while?

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    No, that has been a core part of D&D since Gary Gygax, for real.

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    That's been a core part of all d&D since the 1970s.

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    On one hand, as someone who intends to run non-Stormlight fans through thos, I agree with you. But, ot must be admitted that thr Stormlight Archives is some intense and in-drpth worldbuilding, being way far out there compared to other fantasy Settings. Mistborn, IMO, is going to be way more...

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    The idea that people bought into this game with no intention to play itnis weird...the Cosmere fan space is full of people actively playing or planning to play the game. Just as a licensed game, this is starting to build steam. As the variety of games using the system increases, between...

    D&D General The Purple Dragon Knights are tied to an Amethyst Dragon (confirmed)

    Yes, the PHB explicitly states that they expect people to start at Level 3. But again, they are on a bit of a hot streak: Vecna and Shattered Obelisk are the weaker releases in the past few years, and even those are mostly full of good ideas, the flaw with those two is the overarching plot...

    D&D 5E (2024) Atlas of Faerun (with some pictures from the internet)

    Very vague, is my understanding. Everything outside the Eastern Heartlands and the area of Waterdeep was somewhat sketchy.

    D&D General WotC: 'Of Course We're Going To Do' Baldur's Gate 4

    But they also hired the people who did make it. And the new video game studios they are building, who are now the majority of WotC staff, have hired people who can make software. It's not 1999 or 2008 over there anymore.

    D&D General WotC: 'Of Course We're Going To Do' Baldur's Gate 4

    Beyond would suggest otherwise, also the runaway hit that is Arena. They have several full video game studios that they are sinking serious resources into, as well, Exodus in particular looks very promising.

    In case anyone is interested in the ruleset but not sure about the Stormlight Setting, which is incredibly specific...this is being designed as a Setting and genre be ding game overall, first with the forthcoming Mistborn version of the game followed by several more Sanderson inspired products...

    Yeah, honestly they are on a bit of a hot streak?

    Cosmere RPG Gets Physical Release Date

    As far as I know, he only did the Starter Set box art, which originally appeared as the cover of Chasmfiend Magazone #1 (Chasmfiend having rhe same font as 80s Dragon Magazine...Chas.fiends being giant crab-dragons). The art in the books is actually quite varied, but of uniformly excellent...

    Cosmere RPG Gets Physical Release Date

    Oh, another interesting innovations is the "Plot Die", a d6 roll that a DM can call for to accompany a d20 test that can either do nothing, or generate an Opportunity or a Complication (you can see those mentioned in the giant lobster Kai just stat block in my prior post). The Complicstion...

    Cosmere RPG Gets Physical Release Date

    I was a backer, so I got the whole set when the digital dropped which wqs only a few weeks ago, but it is also now on DriveThruRPG, Roll20 and Demiplane (free starter rules, below) at least. https://app.demiplane.com/nexus/cosmererpg/sources/stormlight-starter-rules There are quite a few...

    OSR OSR-inspired video game, The Secret of Weepstone, has a trailer

    Looks like Shadowdark and the clasdic Bards Tale games had a baby.

    D&D 5E (2024) Atlas of Faerun (with some pictures from the internet)

    My understanding is that it was a sort of Earthsea pastiche. Apparently what became the Moonshaes were the novel parts of a TSR UK project that was going to be the UK version of Dragonlance...but they shut down TSR UK, with the completed novels on hand and the Forgotten Realms coming down the...
