Personally, I credit most of the latter 2E Products that WotC produced just before 3E to some bizarre, arcane marketing decision. They seemed to be calculated to shake things up before the new edition, even though they denied that this was the case. Faction War and Die Vecna Die never made it...

It's my opinion that if Planescape novels can't be expected to respect the setting's cosmology, Forgotten Realms novels sure as hell can't. Ergo, Finder's Bane doesn't have any impact on my campaigns. Heck, Forgotten Realms novels barely respect Forgotten Realms cosmology.

Why, Space Mountain at Disneyland, of course! Too bad they're too short to be let on it...

Depends on how well it sold. Sean gave the impression that it was sort of a "bet the farm" move for the direction of the line. If it sold well, you'll get more like that. If it didn't, then you'll get insane amounts of crunchies in sickening repetition.

Rounser: Theoretically that's what the FR developers have been doing ever since the new hardbound. You'll notice that in the gaming material, Halaster is still crazy as ever, etc. More power to 'em, the novels are just plain whacky.

Ezrael: The sacred cow thing again.

d00d, that's when Greyhawk, Ravenloft, and Planescape jumped the shark. The Vecna modules were just bad, bad plot all over.

Eh, Norrath is a decent setting, once you remove the MUD mentality of the trogs who frequent EQ servers. The only thing I think that hinders the tabletop game so far is the same thing I think hinders D&D: sacred cows. There are a few very obvious points where they mangled a mechanic in favor...

Eh, Buzz, just 'cause your FLGS isn't selling well doesn't mean it's doing badly. It certainly flies off the shelves in most stores I've been to.

Re: Re: What about the Bull? Wrong. It's out, I've purchased it, and several board members even ran it already.

I seem to remember there was a rather good Dragon issue recently that handled writing mystery adventures. I'll have to dig it out.

They don't have to. It's symbolism. Something like an old Vistana telling the players that "The Hermit's card shall be drawn in the court of the Lovers" tells them that the Hermit murder will occur in Ivana's domain. They arrive, and find an anchorite priest dead, clutching a lantern. Stuff...

Heh. Was aiming more for something for my Mage dice. Talon knows because he dug up the d10's for me. The celestial stuff is very nice, but I'm just looking for something a bit more mystical. I'm sure sooner or later you'll rotate your patterns and I'll find somethng I like :)

Very tempting. If you had something Alchemical, Zodiac, or Tarot oriented, I might well order one.

Eh, it's still jumping the shark, continuously. Like Shade coming back, or all the crudola with Mystra's meddling. I predict the next shark jumping event will be Elminster getting trapped in a ring, which a kid in a bowl cut then uses to fight crime. Maybe some talking animals. Anyhoo, I...

Hazlik is the Magician/Juggler. Death is Death. Azalin would be Judgement. Jaqueline Renier might represent the High Priestess, or it could be one of Hala's witches. Ivan and Ivana could represent the Lovers, or alternately the Emperor and Empress. There's a lot of different symbolisms you...

And get rid of WHFRPG? Nah. Really though, nothing's stopping them from doing WHd20 or WH40kd20 right now.

Well, there's kind of an adventure-glut, eh? Might be why WotC only does mega-adventures and "Adventure Path" modules.

Really, you can take or leave the ____space supplements for Spelljammer. They didn't add much to the actual Spelljammer setting, and required some fairly significant alterations to their respective settings to integrate them. Krynnspace was the worst for this, as you wouldn't be running anything...

No, I'm saying you're perhaps taking offense at something that isn't what you think it is.
