    Pathfinder 2E Paizo Announces Pathfinder 2nd Edition!

    I agree with this idea. Merging in Pathfinder with the older editions of D&D makes sense if it's just PF1 which is really just a patched over 3.5, but since PF2 is going to be its own thing, it should probably be split back out. And Starfinder was always a bit of a poor fit there anyway, so a...

    Latest PF2 Info On Theatre Of The Mind, PDF Timing, German Translations, & More

    WotC did release Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle during the 5e playtest. Physical copies were a con-exclusive, but they did exist. And the playtest-era D&D Encounters modules were also physical releases, though in those cases it was as much to release for retail anything at all, as the 4e crunch...

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D Movie: July 23rd 2021

    Yes. The break even for the film is estimated at $750 million. See https://www.forbes.com/sites/markhughes/2017/11/24/justice-league-disappointing-holiday-box-office-makes-any-fantastic-beasts-comparisons-moot/#52b690df48f5

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D Movie: July 23rd 2021

    Um, Justice League has actually been written off as a financial loss. There's multiple in depth analyses as to how, despite apparently grossing OK (though not great) it actually lost money because of additional marketing costs. It. Was a very expensive film to make, and a really expensive film...

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D Movie: July 23rd 2021

    Yep, every season is a different season-long story arc set in a different place and time, but with many of the same cast members returning each year. Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Sarah Paulson have all spent multiple seasons on the show. There is some hints that the stories are connected, but...

    D&D Movie/TV New D&D Movie: July 23rd 2021

    When you admit that you're having fun riling up other posters, you kinda forfeit your right to be indignent about some incivility. That said, I actually think if there ever was a property that was suited to the anthology TV series format ala American Horror Story, it's D&D. After all, what...

    Harassment At PaizoCon 2017

    Worse. He's saying "I hope you're lying, because that would be easier for me to cope with." What cruel, stupid, self-centered, childish :):):):):):):):). And there's nothing "grey" about sexual harassment. Asinine apologists.

    Egyptian-themed D&D Setting with PLANE SHIFT: AMONKHET

    Aren't the maps in the coffee table art book for each setting that these PDFs are meant to accompany?

    Fantasy Flight Games Announces Genesys RPG

    This is not entirely surprising. I was expecting something like this once the Warhammer license ended. And I agree that they'll use Terrinoth for a fantasy setting. It will definitely be interesting to see what other settings they come up with.

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls on Settings

    Birthright may not be as well known, but I can imagine that emphasizing its major distinction, that of kings vs kings, of ruling domains, and of courtly intrigue would find a very willing audience these days thanks to the influence of Game of Thrones, even if a low-level adventuring party on a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Mike Mearls interview - states that they may be getting off of the 2 AP/year train.

    From what I've read, it's because the saddle stapled booklets, with their lack of spines, too easily get lost on store shelves and so are easily overlooked, depressing sales. It's why Pathfinder APs, one-part modules, etc are square-bound "prestige" format, though that raises costs (and...

    Revisiting crusty old games

    http://www.enworld.org/forum/showthread.php?381522-Gamma-5-fan-made-Gamma-World-5e Fun fan take on GW for 5e. Not exactly well suited to long campaigns, but I never really though GW as a whole was well suited for long campaigns. The time they tried to make it such is exactly when they sucked...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5.5e; Your wish for 5.5e update.

    Huh? I wasn't talking about 5e. But, speaking of which, the entire thread is based on a faulty premise. A revised version of the 5e core books (outside of errata in more recent printings) is not happening for many years. The idea that any patterns can be derived from 4e's release cycle is...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D 5.5e; Your wish for 5.5e update.

    There is no 2.5. The reissue of the 2e PHB & DMG with new layouts and trade dress (and the accompanying new cover for the MM, which was otherwise unchanged) did not change the core rules of the edition; the text was identical. The Players Option series that followed were just that: options...

    Plane Shift: Kaladesh - More MAGIC THE GATHERING For Your D&D Game!

    That socerous origin is fantastic. It's a better fire-based one than the one in UA a couple of weeks ago.

    D&D 5E (2014) What's coming out for D&D in 2017?

    Can't find it in non-specialty stores? Every single Barnes & Noble I've ever been in has it in constant stock. And I've even seen it in Toys R Us. It's actually pretty widely available.

    D&D 5E (2014) After 2 years the 5E PHB remains one of the best selling books on Amazon

    All of the above, from what I've seen. Firstly, this is the easiest edition to learn since Basic. Maybe even easier, because of more unified mechanics. That helps get new players to try it out and, more importantly, continue to play. It's funny; people over the last two years have said how...

    D&D 5E (2014) Other Classic Adventure Remakes?

    Truth is, there's quite a few over the years that could be used as basis for modern adventures. Even a more recent one like Red Hand of Doom. But I'll agree that if that's all they do, then there'd be no new classics. CoS is a distinct opportunity because it allows them to reintroduce the...
