Yup, awesome, love it. Random adventuring and replayability through the Tarroka deck...:D I wonder if they will give at least cursory nods to the other domains and Dark Lords. Either way I'm excited!

What will they do if they are up for an Ennie, just not be there to accept the potential award?

For the love of the mists, please let this be actually in Ravenloft. If this ends up being set on Faerun I will be extremely disappointed. A trip to the Demiplane of Dread is just what the doctor ordered for 5E. Also, as a companion book to go with this, I want a freaking Van Richten's Guide...

I think it's insinuating that the people he is referring to are trying to play it like its a video game, not that 5E itself is like a video game (the common 4E argument). I've encountered gamers of this ilk before, and they'd probably attempt to play B/X like a video game. It's about the people...

No, but "5th Edition Dragonlance Campaign Setting by Margaret Weis Publishing" is really a product I'm hoping for.

I like this change. As someone who only has a surface level knowledge of Vampire and Co, I always felt oWoD and nWoD was needlessly confusing. I also feel like this was the best compromise given the situation, White Wolf gets the WoD to licence and develop and metaplot, whereas with CofD Onyx...

Dagger screams Eberron to me, pulpy with ancestral stuff and airships, yeah gotta be Eberron. (And I'm not an Eberron guy) Cloak being White Plume Mountain is intriguing and something I'd probably be interested in.

I feel like a lot of the Sage Advice stuff has been overly gamey and complex rather than keeping the rulings simple and with verisimilitude in mind.

If 4E has been the Magic: The Gathering RPG instead of D&D it would have gotten considerably less hate. They could have slaughtered all the sacred cows they wanted and no one would have really batted an eyelash. They could still do this one day if they wanted, retool 4E and publish it as a Magic...

I don't like that all exceptional strength converts straight to an 18, I would probably do 18/01-75 as an 18, 18/76-99 as a 19, and 18/00 or higher as a 20.

Legend of the Five Rings to Fantasy Flight, White Wolf to Paradox, Chaosium to Moon Design, and now this. It has definitely been a busy second half of the year in the RPG business.

It could be argued that one is comparing all those games to D&D, Forgotten Realms, Greyhawk, Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, and Birthright. But really this is all just petty semantics.

Bingo. Stating WoD/Vampire is the number 2 selling RPG of all time is probably accurate, it was really popular for a long time. Really I just want Pardox/Obsidian/Avellone/Mitsoda to all get together and make a new game in the vein of Bloodlines, still one of the best CRPG's of all time. And...

It's interesting this is somewhat divisive on here, as just about every other article I've read on the matter has seen nearly universal praise, the IGN comments section on this was one big lovefest (and for anyone who knows anything about IGN, thats a extremely rare). From everything I've...

This. My experience has been the same. I am in 2 groups that total about 12 people, of that 12 only 4 are female. Of the 4 girls only one of them owns any books above and beyond the PHB/Core Rulebook for whatever game we are playing (and even her collection isn't very extensive). None of them...

Monsters are one of the few things you can rarely have enough of.

Just wanted to also say, as someone who disliked the Spellplague and the 100 year time jump, I really like this book. It has a surprising amount of lore packed in given its page count. Only thing I'm really bummed about is no official return for Khelben and Halaster. The new character options...

Each Faerunian deity has a 3-4 paragraph blurb describing them, they both have their own entry. Amaunators talks about how he is the god of law and the sun, that he is seen as a stern and unforgiving god, not unlike Silvanus, also talking how people will swear oaths, sign contracts, and...

Another tidbit regarding the timeline discussion from earlier, when describing the Shieldmeet holiday the book says "The next Shieldmeet will be observed in 1492 DR". So we know for a fact the "official year" is somewhere between 1489 and 1492. Someone asked about Amaunator earlier, he is in...

Here's the Rock Paper Shotgun review...its not pretty. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/10/21/sword-coast-legends-review/ I checked for the IGN review also, but they haven't posted it yet. The fact is that in this day and age, with the likes of Divinity: Original Sin, Pillars of Eternity...
