Absolutely. I mean he could have gone full 3PP and filed the serial numbers off to produce Ebberon: Rebuilding from the Previous Conflict, but using the DMsGuild lets him use the full IP and produce new material. I wish we could have similar access for Greyhawk and Dark Sun, but alas, we will...

Eberron has greatly benefitted from the continuing presence and involvement of Keith Baker. There is no other setting that is as connected to one person, albeit with sizable input from others, into the present. He is a steady hand on the tiller that continues to keep Eberron refreshed and...

The only gripe I have with the 5E warlock is that Eldritch Blast is a cantrip instead of a class ability. I want the Pact of the Blade or an invocation to turn their Eldritch Blast into an Eldritch Spear or Sword, other than that it is perfect. I do think the 3 lanes of customization, Pact...

First off, love that cover. Second, this is going to be awesome. Very excited for the Lords of Dust to get more page count. Keep an eye on Hellcow's blog for spoileriffic content as he had for Exploring Eberron. Need to tell me wife that I have something to add to my Christmas list. Tangent- Is...

The problem is that if WotC responds to the rumor, it sometimes reinforces the rumor rather than squash it. Maybe they are seeking a way to protect/give a leg up their nascent Virtual Table Top against existing competitors. I don't know. I doubt any corporate tweet or statement will be coming...

Exploring Eberron does warrant its price. It is a fantastic book. It is, however, a niche product. There are not as many Eberron enthusiasts as regular 5E purchasers. EE fulfills the promise of DMsGuild. There is a lot of chaff on the platform, but EE is the product that can surpass even many of...

It works better narratively, but preservers will wind up weaker than their level would indicate in play. Just need to prepare the players for it in Session 0. I have thought about doing a quick and dirty 5E ersatz Dark Sun campaign using only material I currently have on hand. Muls use Orcs or...

Ultimately, what does it matter if Takhisis is Tiamat? What is the impact on a Dragonlance campaign with this knowledge? Takhisis is presented as Takhisis in the new book. If anything Tiamat has become more like Takhisis over the years, so is it a distinction without a difference? I am...

Splitters!

This is really heavy, impactful stuff. This will change everything about Krynn. Or not. I enjoy lore fights as much as the next player, but this is so niggling I can't even bother to come up with a decent parody of it. The concept of Takhisis being Tiamat changes with every product since its...

Exactly. TDM is associated with churning out pulp. They produce bad products, done poorly. They also tend to insult members of the culture they are writing about. Why is this a good thing?

In some ways, I wish the Forgotten Realms would go back to being forgotten... Mythic Polynesia is a good example of why having a Cultural Consultant is a good idea. That Liam Guy has only started to read through, about 55 pages, and has found a lot of generalizations, microaggressions, and an...

I would hazard a guess that depending on your generation the resonance of Warforged and War Veterans will be a similar experience regardless of the war fought.

I don't know if there is a lot that he could add to clarify his position. He does not want to make his 'source' uncomfortable and WotC is pretty far from finalizing anything about 1D&D. It is a rumor that Indestructoboy puts a lot of credence in. I would like him to post here on ENWorld, not to...

I do not think he was intentionally posting this to generate clicks. As you said, his posting history is not clickbait titles. I think he heard something from someone whose opinion he trusts and there was a lot of telephone game happening in this rumor chain. There is very little meat about this...

It worked. A lot of us clicked.

My knickers remain untwisted. Maybe this 'rumor' is a trial balloon to gauge the audience's reaction? Until there is an announcement with more details I can't get worked up about it. The OGL is the OGL. Not having an updated SRD might be annoying but as long as 1D&D is truly backward compatible...

I find it odd that we as gamers argue over rules semantics, RaW vs RaI, and ask for clarification all the time. We demand errata for unclear or bad rules, but somehow when people ask for social clarification of what is being presented, "Did you really mean to reference Minstrel Shows from Jim...

I agree that DR is problematic in D&D. I am simply saying that more armor types would be fluff rather than mechanics. A DR system may require more or less armor. Check out Mr. Rhexx idea for armor. Fewer types of armor would strip away fluff and flavor for simplifying something that is already...

Just don't click on the thread anymore. You have agency.
