    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    CNBC has amended the article; Not that it will change anything. Goldner never really said what the article did anyways.

    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    That quote from the article (not from Goldner) was a lot more disturbing than the actual interview.

    Core Rules Alternative Cover Gift Set

    To see which print run it is you have to look at the code underneath the print info; "9 8 7 6 5 4 ..." every print run they remove one number.

    Core Rules Alternative Cover Gift Set

    Only the Alternate covers are exclusive to FLGS's, AFAIK.

    Core Rules Alternative Cover Gift Set

    The errata has been included into all the core books with each new printing, it would be very strange if these were the only ones not to have it.

    Why doesn't the help action have more limits and down sides?

    "I'm helping" isn't enough in most situations IME, we usually want to establish what they are actually doing and how they think that might help, then the GM can decide if that: gives someone advantage, ends up being two different rolls, a group check, is just flavour, etc. It's partly a...

    D&D 5E (2014) SURVIVOR Supplement Edition--Volo's Guide Wins!

    Happy. Seriously though, I always have mixed feelings around these threads and I usually avoid them because I don't like voting stuff down that other people like. Most of these things are beloved by many and are works of art that people put a lot of sweat and thought into. I think I am pretty...

    D&D 5E (2014) SURVIVOR Supplement Edition--Volo's Guide Wins!

    Not to mention, these days people only pay that price if they want to. I got the special edition at a FLGS that I appreciate, knowing full well that I could get the book for a fraction on Amazon. It's typically $40 CAD up here, $30 USD, often less. That is pretty cheap for a book filled with...

    The Next Dungeons & Dragons Storyline Will Be...

    I just watched the beginning of yesterday's stream and Nathan said stuff almost to the effect of "where we unveil all of the years product" not sure exactly what was meant but it does indicate there might be more.

    D&D Has the Biggest Playerbase, So Why is it the Hardest for 3rd Party to Market Too?

    Good to know, it's difficult googling backwards for something like that and I wasn't entirely sure. Prior to the last few years I had little in way of connection to any sort of larger D&D community or media, pretty much the opposite of your experience I suppose. If you haven't seen it then it...

    D&D Has the Biggest Playerbase, So Why is it the Hardest for 3rd Party to Market Too?

    Sorry, I meant the people I know IRL. We always just considered them to be publishing under a license. Even now that I am looking I am having a hard time finding them referred to as second party publishers. Plenty of talk and info about the arrangement but little (I have seen nothing...

    D&D Has the Biggest Playerbase, So Why is it the Hardest for 3rd Party to Market Too?

    From the link; So, we can agree that in video game development, through colloquial usage the term has lost some of it's original meaning. I don't think it has in TTRPGs. I have been involved in them for a long time and have never heard of 2nd party publishers. We always considered it to have...

    D&D 5E (2014) I am not ready to ready the ready action...

    Split movement allows for some tactics like; Hiding behind cover, popping up and taking a shot, then dropping behind it again. That sort of thing can seem really cool and matches a lot of what we see in movies and imagine in real life, and while technically possible in other editions it didn't...

    Dungeons & Dragons has 15 Million Players in NA Alone; Storyline Is "The Da Vinci Code meets Gangs o

    Grandfather; "Yes child, it's all very good that you've cured cancer, as long as you remember that if I hadn't had sex with your Grandmother you never would have been born." Grandchild; "Ok?" :erm: I could care less about the D&D name, without 3e we wouldn't be at the same place, but it's...

    Dungeons & Dragons has 15 Million Players in NA Alone; Storyline Is "The Da Vinci Code meets Gangs o

    If somebody predicted this, I hope they pat themselves on the back, and I would be very interested to hear and see their predictions (past and present). I certainly did not expect this to happen and am frankly still fascinated that it has, so what can I pat myself on the back about exactly? It's...

    Dungeons & Dragons has 15 Million Players in NA Alone; Storyline Is "The Da Vinci Code meets Gangs o

    Considering they are selling tickets to each of the events for 200 bucks a pop, I wonder how much "budget" is going into this? It's hard to say. Pretty sweet when people will pay you to see your "marketing" (I don't know that I wouldn't consider it if I were close).
