    D&D General WizKids Announced Details for 50th Anniversary Icons of the Realms Miniature Set

    They are great sales but they also are a lot of money at the same time. You get a lot but man, chucking out 300-500 at once is a big ask with a toddler in the house!

    D&D General WizKids Announced Details for 50th Anniversary Icons of the Realms Miniature Set

    If you go on Amazon you can get bricks of D&D and Pathfinder minis for less than $100 bucks. I put them in my cart and watch for price drops. Some older sets drop down to $80 pretty routinely. As for the size, yes it is about 1" like others said but they are small compared to Reaper or other...

    D&D General WizKids Announced Details for 50th Anniversary Icons of the Realms Miniature Set

    Yes they would because this is a random booster box and they would be smaller minis. You cite WOTC produced minis… Wizkids isn’t WOTC. They pay WOtC. Wizkids is NECA. I never mentioned huge miniatures. I said they would put them in the set as characters. You assumed I meant the big ones. I...

    D&D General WizKids Announced Details for 50th Anniversary Icons of the Realms Miniature Set

    They have before. One is random with zero guarantee you get it the other you grab a box. They have 2 Demogorgon already. It isn’t competing and some of those are now older. Plus 1e Demogorgon, orcus etc are not at all like 5e. Orcus doesn’t have a skull head for example and DG is lithe and both...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Core Rulebooks: 'We'll Still Be Working On Them In May'

    the DMG is supposed to include a “sample setting” according to hints… I also think it’s an extremely valuable resource for new and old DMs outside of the 2e version. It has an undeserved reputation in 5e.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Core Rulebooks: 'We'll Still Be Working On Them In May'

    So far it has not affected 5e in a measurable way. It still sells like no one’s business.

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D 2024 Core Rulebooks: 'We'll Still Be Working On Them In May'

    Unless they’re going back to monthly releases? I could see that being a mandate from Hasbro. I do miss the monthly releases but I also liked the slower pace of the Mearls era. 5e never felt bloated, it felt the opposite of bloated because there were “gaps” in that approach that a good DM could...

    A Multi-Publisher Crowdfunding Event for Dungeon Crawl Classic's 'Purple Planet'

    Getting that Otus cover. Probably Purple Planet. See how much it all costs.

    New Warhammer Old World TTRPG Announced

    I don't see a good video game maker, or successful one, on this list. Magic Arena is a GAME developed in house yes but none of the WOTC run studios have shown a strong ability to develop AAA games. GW has partnered with several studios for a strong video game portfolio. WOTC hasn't had a strong...

    New Warhammer Old World TTRPG Announced

    Warhammer fans think GW is parasitic so... danged if you do, danged if you don't but GW isn't going to let it become a 5e setting.

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    Late 3.5 provided a ton of caster levels in PrC or maybe one level less. I prefer 3.0 myself of the 3 versions.

    D&D 3.x 3rd Edition Revisited - Better play with the power of hindsight?

    I found that without Prestige classes and multi-classing that 3e and 3.5 were much better experiences, at least with carefully curated PrC lists. It was better balanced because multi-classing, even in 5e, ultimately knee caps the character, even if it fits the concept, eventually you will be...

    AD&D 1E PoD Reprints

    Sadly not uncommon because they search by ISBN or title and don't research very well. The local one once had a set of Aleister Crowley's Equinox for sale with $350 on the tag. I recognized it immediately as a set of the 1971(?) Weiser reprint but they had found the most recent edition, a POD...

    WotC Milestone leveling in WotC editions?

    My first DM used to just tell us when we leveled up instead of providing XP totals back in 1e/2e. I didn't mind it but it wasn't my cuppa. I was always an XP DM and still prefer the variable XP tables, treasure as XP etc after playing 3.x for 7 years and now a couple years of 5e before we dove...

    How well do you predict non-OGL/CC games will do?

    I think the OP has a lot of "ifs" that have already been debunked by WOTC, all digital, paywall, etc. I think the CC-BY will do fine and in fact once Revised is released and people see it will be the most minor changes added in, we will see more publishers launching new product again. I believe...

    D&D General What's your best D&D tip (50 words or less)

    "Read and use the DMG", even for 2e, which was largely considered useless. The 5e DMG is chockful of great optional rules and ideas to spin your own if you don't like how they work. It's even... part of the rules.
