    D&D 5E (2014) Crystal Ball: A year in, how do you think 5E will unfold going forward?

    I think the idea of two story arcs a year with an additional resource book would be ideal (for me as a customer, not necessarily as a business model). I would like to hope that WotC has learned that people do not want to pay "campaign setting prices" for a hardback splatbook, and would also...

    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Hoard of the Dragon Queen" (Practical stuff to try at your table!)

    Possibly previously mentioned within the thread - the absence of magic items within HotDQ? I bring this up with the knowledge that D&D 5e is supposed to be (according to some) light on the magic items within the first few levels of the game. My players even asked how they could get their hands...

    The Ultimate Tabletop RPG Room Wish List

    Thanks so far for the responses. My reasoning behind the "no furniture thing" is because we already have five 80"H x 18"W x 14"D bookshelves, an old dining room table that can seat 6 and chairs to match. Given all of this, I don't really have a need for new stuff to outfit a game room, which...

    The Ultimate Tabletop RPG Room Wish List

    Hi EnWorld! I'm looking for ideas to outfit my future RPG room and while Google images is nice I have found that I get better results from asking those who have similar mindsets (i.e. table top gamers). So here are the rules of the wish list *game* (not really a game - really looking for...

    D&D 5E (2014) Enhancing "Hoard of the Dragon Queen" (Practical stuff to try at your table!)

    So...our group completed the "adult blue dragon" encounter last session and the consensus was to either (a) remove the encounter altogether or (b) figure out a way to role-play through the encounter. Instead, using (c) create a direct combat encounter and force the group to use tactical thinking...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms 5th Edition - Which Campaign Setting?

    So while I think my previous statement was misunderstood (I don't think WotC even knows I exist, much less that they put any value in my opinion of their products) you are absolutely correct in believing that I'm happy with the 3e FR setting. One of the purposes of this thread was to get some...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms 5th Edition - Which Campaign Setting?

    Merric, I have to ask - how did you find out the dates on all of these events? Are there references within the novels, or are these from interviews from Greenwood or someone else associated with FR? On a separate note - I think I'm going to run my campaign still based in 3e Faerun, simply...

    Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook

    4 out of 5 rating for Star Wars: Edge of the Empire Core Rulebook Star Wars Edge of the Empire RPG from Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) has turned out to be my regular group's favorite futuristic setting, but be warned that it will take some getting used to, especially if you're switching gears from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms 5th Edition - Which Campaign Setting?

    Thanks for the clarification! Do you know where I can find information on this that has been published? Is it now no longer available? I can't seem to find anything that isn't a novel (literally) and I'd really like to learn more about the whole Spellplague/Sundering event. Thanks again.

    D&D 5E (2014) Forgotten Realms 5th Edition - Which Campaign Setting?

    Greetings, EnWorlders! I'm currently running HotDQ (and intend on running PotA) for my group and I had a question that I wanted to put out to the community at large - what version of the FR campaign setting is WotC using for these adventures? Is it the 4e "wild magic and weird stuff...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why such little content (books) for Dnd 5e?

    Has this strategy been confirmed in any way? Just curious to know if a representative from WotC had made a statement that this is the direction of the game in general with regards to release schedules. I know this would answer a lot of people's questions regarding why there's only been AP's...

    AMA Russ Morrissey (Morrus) (EN World, EN Publishing, ENnies, WOIN)

    Morrus - thanks for opening AMA! I've been reading a number of threads from different folks and I think this brings a bit of insight to a lot of subjects that we as RPG fans could spend hours (and thread posts) debating. And now, onto the questions! 1 - What do you see as the future of...

    Where are you? What cons do you go to?

    Hello - John here from southeast Texas. Unfortunately I don't know of any gaming conventions that would apply to my tastes (D&D, FFG Star Wars, FFG WFRP, PF) within 4 hours of my location. All the conventions that I have found even in the Houston area are mainly Warhammer 40K or Anime based...

    D&D 5E (2014) Greyhawk on horizon?

    I thoroughly enjoyed Greyhawk but I won't get my hopes up that this is nothing more than an adventure rather than a full-on campaign setting or adventure path. (Unhopeful) speculation leads me to believe that there won't be much in the way of campaign settings from WotC; rather, they will...

    [UPDATED] RAGE OF DEMONS! New D&D Storyline Features Drizzt, Underdark, & Demon Lords!

    That's something to consider, actually. Has WotC set up any means for feedback on future releases? I know Birthright campaign setting was popular in it's time (was that 2e? I never played it but heard lots of people talk about it) but if insufficient "formal" support for it is shown in the fan...

    [UPDATED] RAGE OF DEMONS! New D&D Storyline Features Drizzt, Underdark, & Demon Lords!

    *Speculation Alert* Based on 3e and 3.5e release schedules (and my failing memory) didn't they release tons of information on the Forgotten Realms setting prior to going into Eberron and all the associated books? If so I'm wondering if they aren't using that same model again (only releasing...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Spire an online Magazine for 5e and pathfinder

    Hi D_Drader - I wanted to drop a note to say how much I have enjoyed reading the first couple of issues of The Spire and that based on the current quality of the work that you and your folks have put into it was a determining factor in me becoming a patron (via Patreon) of your magazine. Keep...

    D&D 5E (2014) Down to six pages of prep work

    I'm looking to try this method using only my laptop and the adventure path marked up with underlined and highlighted portions. I've made up an electronic version of the encounter matrix that I mentioned earlier in this thread (copy/paste makes things so much easier) and have the adventure...

    D&D 5E (2014) Down to six pages of prep work

    I'm debating over transitioning to a laptop to organize my game vs the traditional 3-ring binder approach with handwritten notes, maps, etc. I haven't really decided one way or the other which would be more beneficial/space-saving since I don't have .pdf copies of my most commonly accessed...

    D&D 5E (2014) Character play vs Player play

    So I have to say that I'm happy for you that you were able to resolve the problem without tearing the entire group to pieces in the process. Reading this was painful to say the least. I played alongside a character a few years ago that had a problem with complaining every time something wasn't...
