Though it was the choice that could have blown up in their faces, if hypothetically it didn't take off.

I mean, I think it gives a pretty solid idea of what to expect: avoiding 2E-3E-4E style Realms Shaking Events, while leaving room for tables to use whichever past ones they care to keep.

Nintendo continues to publish excellent and delightful games, all while not doing mass layoffs and giving employees raises. Licensed games are a dicey proposition, though, they have become more and more rare and even more rarely good: BG3 and some of the Star Wars games are some of the few good...

Not updated too frequently, but: "All of which brings me to the Forgotten Realms." "I’m the project lead for the new Forgotten Realms books recently announced on the Wizards YouTube channel. You can see the video here, I’m only in it for about 30 seconds, the upshot is: two new Forgotten...
