    D&D 5E (2014) Free League's 5E-Powered Lord of the Rings Game Is Now Available

    We should mention here that this is the infrastructure that we had since 3E. It was already used for 3 editions and probably will be used for a 4th as well. 1D&D marketing speak aside so far it looks like we will get a 5.5E and not a 6E. So I will need to wait a few more years for a proper 6E...

    D&D 5E (2014) Free League's 5E-Powered Lord of the Rings Game Is Now Available

    Nope had Aventures in Middle Earth and was not impressed. While no exactly the same as 5E it still in the end felt like D&D 5E with Middle Earth trappings. Can't hold a candle to TOR 2E. I was very happy that I backed that one on kickstarter. But to be fair here I think that about all games...

    D&D 5E (2014) Free League's 5E-Powered Lord of the Rings Game Is Now Available

    I have not interest either in mixing D&D 5E with Lord of the Rings. It is imho not a very good fit. But hopefully the game manages to do it at least to the degree that it sells a lot of books so that it finances more TOR products. As it already worked once during 5E's lifetime I see not much...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – BREAK!!, RŌNIN, TEETH, and more

    I did that as well. One look at the example pages from the kickstarter and I was sold. This is exactly the awesome stuff that kickstarter was made for. Can't have that book fast enough. :D

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Fair enough. We all get uncomfortable by different things because of history and our own cultural lens.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Yes they put in a Dragon King as Epic destiny as well.....so yea I won't deny that the Templar or the Defiler have problems as player classes but the thing is it won't break a whole setting or makes Dark Sun especialy bad. You are able to play a Necromancer, Thief or Assassin right in the PHB...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Ok that is actually news to me. I needed to import that box to Germany back then. I need to look at the box but wasn't it still made by TSR ? Edit: Ok did a quick look. That box while still TSR came out 1995. So shortly before the end. So I retract my statement about the Templars as I always...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Correct. But they also were already seen as problematic back then and got removed from the class roster in the Expanded and Revised Campaign Setting box.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Very generally speaking you could drop almost anything into Dark Sun given that almost everything was somewhat mutated and differently looking. So basically anything goes. Just take it make it look stranger then usual an it fits just fine into the setting. Just look at te description of for...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    So you had a bad DM. Why blame the setting and not the DM ? This can happen at every game table. Regardless of setting. Regardless of what RPG game you play. You can in the end only judge a setting on what is written for it and not what you did with it. For the former the first official...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    Was it a landmine in the previous two incarnations of the setting ? For the record: Dark Suns message was never"slavery is accepted". The message was "It is evil and your characters fight against it". The status quo gets killed by the very first adventure and the first novel that was released...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Well one could argue that Dark Sun already had Dragonborn years and one edition before they showed up in general D&D...... :ROFLMAO: I mean they were the easiest an most obvious reskin you can imagine in the 4E version of Dark Sun. Races of the Dragon was 2006. City by the Silt Sea was 1994.

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Well I don't really care what individual DMs did in their Dark Sun adventures. The official adventures were full of heroic stuff the player could do. Also a lot of them aren't dungeon crawls. The intention of Dark Sun as setting based on the official material available for it is that while...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Go for the old 3E stuff here. It is actually way better and there is way more stuff then for the new 5E version. Like with Dark Sun I have almost everything for it on my shelves and I will keep it. :)

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Well the official Dark Sun adventures I have on my shelves tell a different story then you. There it is assumed that your adventure group is made up of good people and you actually can win in them and survive to tell the tale. Where do you get the idea that you can't play good characters in Dark...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC: Why Dark Sun Hasn't Been Revived

    Do not presume to speak for me. And as others already said: You are very wrong about Kalak. I have the novels in my shelves where it happened. Edit: Oh I shouldn't post while being angry. Other Dark Sun fans already made their opinion very clear here. :)

    Not DnD - Shadow of the Weird Wizard with Rob Schwalb

    Given how much bang for my buck Shadow of the Demon Lord delivered this is one kickstarter I will back immediately.

    D&D Movie/TV Here Come The D&D Movie Gaming Tie-Ins!

    Not to sound too negative. But given the track record of D&D movies so far I will put that somewhere under "Wait and see before I even contemplate about buying them" in my shopping list.
