    When did WotC D&D "Jump the Shark"?

    The problem it seems to me is that Wizards of the Coast's situation isn't jumping sharks. It's more like is that the light at the end of the tunnel or an on coming train? By the way, from a business perspective, Hasbro had its quarterly 10-K report last week. And it missed the general "Street"...

    Can Wizards turn around their D&D support?

    I'm more interested in this perception that Wizards seems to be taking regarding piracy and their support that they have to do everything they can to not lose a sale. Why are they so against piracy? Copyright protection and a 10 to 1 loss in sales. I suspect they are doing the same thing with...

    A nice followup to Chris Dias' letter to WotC

    I think this shows the difference between Paizo and Wizards from a philosophical perspective. I think Wizards, having being burned by bad or questionable content for third party books in 3.5 (Hello, Tomb of Erotic Fantasy), I think the philosophy for Wizards is, "We are going to go it alone, and...

    New D&D Monster Builder Coming March 22

    How likely was it that someone from Hasbro or a Wizards executive was putting pressure on them to release a working Monster Builder? I didn't sense that there was any clamor from the rabble to release the Builder out soon.

    Dungeon Master’s Keep - $150 GM Screen?

    I'm surprised no one has thought of naming the towers, "Dice's Instant Fortress" or maybe in the case of Mr. Becker, "Dan's Instant Fortress."

    How can WoTC get new players buying Essentials?

    As an aside, what really bothers me about Dragon and Dungeon is that while they now list every article as a separate download, they still provide a magazine number to each month. If Wizards really wanted to go to pay-per-article system (which is what this is), then they should just simply...

    Open Letter to WotC from Chris Dias

    Just curious, but has the way Paizo helped 3rd parties enhance the Pathfinder portfolio help Paizo's profits? And do we know if not helping third parties for 4th edition has helped or hurt Wizard of the Coast's profits, at least with respect to Dungeons & Dragons? I suspect Paizo knows it does...

    Brand Fatigue

    I looked at the shelf spaces of a few game stores I frequent. When I asked the owner whether they thought the size of the Dungeon and Dragon shelf space has decreased since they started up in 1998, they said, yes. The game is still fine, and plenty of people are playing various games, whether it...

    Games you want to play but haven't

    While not a RPG game, I'd always wanted to mix up all of the possible Munchkin card game sets and see how a massive game of that would entire. Plus, I've always wanted to play Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Holy Carrot. Or something like that.

    Monster Manuals: Things You Don't Kill

    I would love to see the whole Monster Manual concept broken down into three books: Book of Hunt. A book about all of the monsters that would be suggested you find in a military or hunting situation. This would cover most of the animals (normal and dire) here. All normal Monster Manual...

    Unconfirmed: More Layoffs at WotC

    One other possibility is that this is a part of a round of Hasbro-wide layoffs. Then their shareholders will presumably like, and the stock will soar after their latest quarterly conference call, or even before it. It's not like they are expecting their products to be the profit producers that...

    I like the Kingdom of Kalamar setting the best. It's good without the all of the usual stereotypical aspects of a D&Dish setting.
