The Basic game is hardly the end-all, be-all of D&d. It's a very nice preview of the core mechanics. I like the mechanics. My concern is about whether the game will be open. WotC is refusing to reveal that aspect of the game until some months after the full product goes on sale.

I'm disappointed that WotC is so blatantly delaying the "OGL /no OGL" reveal until so long after the release window. OGL-friendliness is an important factor for me and, I suspect, others (while I'm impressed by much of what I've seen of 5E so far, past experience has left me with a mixed...

This makes me happy: "All these worlds share characteristics, but each world is set apart by its own history and cultures, distinctive monsters and races, fantastic geography, ancient dungeons, and scheming villains. Some races have unusual traits in different worlds ... Some worlds feature...

2E or 3E, hands down. From a mechanical standpoint, 4E is boring and just as easily abused, and I hate what they did to the setting in terms of emphasizing wireless and augmented reality and muddying the waters of the arcane traditions. I always saw the 2/3E task resolution system (try to roll...

Almost anything from Dungeon trumps the adventures on this list. A couple of the freebies from the WotC website - the Burning Plague and A Dark and Stormy Knight - remain go-to intro level adventures for me.

Dear Me, please just keep Tom Baxa the hell away from this project ...

I read the news section almost daily. It's by far the most useful part of the site, IMO (note the lack of an H).

I just can't bring myself to care anymore, to be honest. WotC lost me as a customer with 4th edition, which basically shat on all the things (campaign settings and accrued canon, OGL, Dungeon and Dragon mags, etc) I loved most about D&D as a brand. For D&D as a game, I've got Pathfinder. If...

Seriously? The dice graphics on first blush appear to be a DIRECT rip-off of FG -- not just color, positioning, etc. -- even the highlights and shadows are pretty much identical. I'd say someone at WotC got lazy, and is probably going to be looking for a new job as a result.

First, Rook-roll is a bastard. Second, part of me (which ignores the other part telling me not to ascribe to conspiracy what is more simply explained by incompetence) thinks this whole thing is a move by Rouse and others in WotC to talk the Hasbro suits into a more lenient GSL. Seriously ...

Someone should call Dominos and find out what kind of pizza they ordered for their secret meeting. Topping choice could be a clue as to which way they're leaning.

Ok, seems like there's at least some interest here and over at the WotC boards, so I'll be following up soon with some more posts on a thread I started there: http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?t=802012

Here goes. For the past six months or so I’ve been running a 3.5 update of The Temple of Elemental Evil, with the characters currently about half through the second dungeon level of the Temple proper. I wasn’t very impressed with any of the 3.0/3.5 revisions of ToEE currently floating around the...

Endo SOOO needs to learn Rope Trick (ie, the 11th Commandment: And thy Magic User shall scribe spells of climbing ropes into unseen pockets, lest small, yipping scaly-things gnaw at thy flesh whilst thy lay abed in stony chambers). And no more killing of cool PCs. Morrus I command thee.

If I had a son I'd name him: Jebus

Boy Monte, sounds like you have some atonement coming. Better plan on a Book of Hallowed Might 10 if this is half of what you say it is. If you were to write such a thing. Love (for now), God

You forgot me (and I sired at least half of the choices anyway.) love, God

Don't you have a game to work on Sawyer? :D love, God

God's game, but he, um...is a little, er..indispoxicated right now...but tomorrow it's on. Love, God
