To be fair, ( And I hated the module, too. And the railroady-ness and structural problems aren't affected by this at all, so... ) Wizards has an almost two month lead time on production, so Kobold press probably had to turn in the final manuscript at the beginning of July. And probably had to do...

Yep. Link ( http://andrewgelman.com/2014/07/12/dnd-5e-advantage-disadvantage-probability/ )

If the monsters are too different, just use the general stats presented in the adventure. 5e is pretty forgiving that way.

Incidentally, does anyone have attribution for this? I've seen it bandied about now and again, but have never been able to find the original quote. I can't help but feel it's taken out of context, or is apocryphal.

I don't know that I'd go so far as to say "unplayable." ( I've only read Ghosts of Dragonspear Castle, though, not the other two. ) I'd be very comfortable myself with running GoDC on the fly, just using Monster Manual stats instead of the playtest ones.

It's been used a few times, the current working title of the new Everquest video game is "Everquest Next." I'm sure it will get a real name as it gets closer to release.

4.75 out of 5 rating for Princes of the Apolocalypse 4.75 stars. Let's get this part out of the way right up front: This is not THE Temple of Elemental Evil. It was clearly *inspired* by ToEE. I am a huge Forgotten Realms fan, so I am incredibly happy that this is set in Faerun. Not everyone...

Brings back the standard previous editions 9 alignments. Also, Synnibar. LOL.

The starter set includes a very good adventure that brings you from 1 to 5.

It appears he took them down. Since the adventure doesn't release until next week, I'm assuming.

There are three different capital murder cases going on in King County right now. I'm assuming it must be one of those.

Spoilers. ;)

Huh. I could swear I suggested Princes of the Apocalypse, not Temple of Elemental Evil.

The upcoming Princes of the Apocalypse.

Believe me, I miss box sets, too. But there's a reason you don't really see them all that often these days.

These days, it's all about sticking a map in the back of the book with snot. ( I *think* that's the technical term. Sure feels like it. )

Box sets are too expensive to be general RPG products. Besides starter sets and anniversary sets, who's made a box set RPG in the past ten years? ( And I'm quite certain someone will turn some up. Doesn't matter, they're too expensive for general use. )

There are actually quite a few in LMoP. I was a little surprised.

GAMA Trade show just started today. Wizards is a Cosponsor. ( They're higher on the marquee than any other publisher. ) They have a two hour block of time in a room today, 7-9pm. They have an entire room tomorrow, 11am-7pm. I expect news to begin to trickle out pretty soon. Furthermore, I'm sure...

GAMA trade show is next week. Wizards is a cosponsor of the show. If there was a place for them to make a big announcement, it would be there. ( especially considering the cryptic tweets of last week.) Just have a little bit more patience, and see what the coming week brings ;)
