I'm thinking the same thing Matthew. Not only is it repetitive, it's not very imaginative or creative.

The slow release schedule isn't a problem in and of itself. In light of WOTC also being uncommunicative and their 4E history....I can see why some people are raising doubts. They don't have to start pumping out products on a monthly basis to succeed. They DO have to start talking to the...

Games Workshop is a UK games company that has notoriously bad relations with fans.

Something else, if they are still throwing around ideas for a model for how they can support 5E they could very well start talking to fans about that. We should be hearing, it seems to me, stuff like "We 've got lots of great ideas we're just working on the best way to present them to you.."...

This doesn't make WOTC look very good. Quite frankly, it makes them look like they don't know how to manage their own game....

I hope the WOTC guys are working on alot of things, new settings amongst them.

So, how are you folks using Factions and Renown? The guidelines are so vague that it seems outside of organized play, it won't even be used. I don't understand introducing a number to track Renown without more concrete examples of how its supposed to work. After reading the page and a...

Reading through the 5E DMG the section o entitled "When Not to Shake It UP" in the camapign events section (pg. 27) gives me hope that WOTC realizes they need to give the RSE's a rest.

The way I'm thinking about it is sorta like this: WOTC is like a family member that has had a terrible wreck and really trashed a car(i.e 4E). With the 5E core books it looks like they have the car fixed but I'm still waiting to see if its safe to drive with them. That's one reason I'm...

It's not that the Hobbit movies were especially bad fantasy movies....there were just terrible adaptations of the Hobbit book. And whoever was holding back Peter Jackson from indulging in his excesses completely stopped in these latest 3. It's all the weaknesses of the LOR movies multiplied...

Something I think needs to be said about the recent exchange of posts back and forth. Just because stupid stuff was done in the Realms in the past, that doesn't excuse stupid stuff happening in the present. Plenty of fans have complained and continue to complain about writers and game...

victorcrossman: Think of what jump starts your imagination and go with that. Then start brainstorming how your players are going to fit in. Talk to your players a little about their characters and backgrounds. You may find the kernal of an adventure idea in what one of your players relates...

Trickstar Spirit: Sure, we have information from internet sources that Princes of the Apocalypse is coming out. Wizards hasn't talked about that themselves or even said its coming out yet. We know all this stuff from other sources other than WOTC that's how bad their communication is...

I agree that part of it is them taking a wait-and-see approach. That's a partial explanantion....there has to more to all the silence then them wiaitng to see how fans respond. Or, maybe not.....I don't know. It is starting to get a little frustrating in that they will soon start losing...

That's an interesting notion DefCon1 but I don't think that's something they are setting out to do. There're not educating the game public about a new paradigm or anything. If your theory were true WOTC would be talking about all the cool stuff you could do right now with what's out. They're...

Parmandur, how did you arrive at the conclusion that they blew up the setting to seperate the novels from the RPG? I've heard lots of theories and justifcations for the 4E fiasco but that's a new one on me...

I'm sorry I haven't read the Herald yet but I have it on order from Amazon. Are you talking about the Candlekeep forums or the actual place within the Realms? I may have misunderstood what you meant just now.

That's not a very nice way to talk about the Candlekeep community.

I don't know if my experience is representative or unique but I haven't run into a Realms fan in person that fit the stereotype of the lore-fetish, exclusionary uber-fan that the online community has turned into a trope. I've run into plenty of people online and in person that complained about...

The reason why they give the inflated stats is to match the crazy stuff he does in the books. Part of the reason stuff gets crazy in the books is becuase the Big E has been hero of so many. It's like sequals...things keep escalating because the writers think they need to one-up each successive...
