OK—a big thank you again to everyone who helped me figure out what I want to buy from this set earlier on in this thread. But now I have another question: do these things sell out like high-demand concert tickets as soon as they go on preorder? Because every site I visit to try to preorder the...

I voted Dragonlance, Planescape/Spelljammer hybrid, Greyhawk, Faerûn—in that order of likelihood. Dark Sun would come next if I had a fifth vote; there appears to be internal enthusiasm for it, and it’s certainly more distinctive (from the FR baseline) than DL or GH—but we know DL is coming, I...

Here's the part where I confess that I'll be buying the LotR set too, and the prospect of an Elminster & Drizzt vs. Gandalf & Legolas throwdown is a big part of the draw for me. But there won't be any space marines shooting at them, that's for sure.

I’m a hardcore D&D fan who doesn’t like (at all) the “meta” or the tournament culture or the lore of MTG but who is excited by the prospect of another collectible game based on his favorite IP. Another after Dice Masters, that is, which I treated the same way I plan to treat this: the D&D-themed...

One more question (thanks to everyone who's answering these): Do the themed Commander decks typically include lots of reprints of cards from other sets?

I appreciate the rundown. How many rares will be in the set? And are there multiple rarities within the rare category? (Back in the day, many games had "R2" and "R3" and so on.) And how many rares do I get in a set booster box? I dislike foil cards, but these are apparently more common in...

I find I don't enjoy online play of much of anything other than RPGs these days. I've heard the Arena implementation is great, though. Right now I plan to buy some physical products for collecting and for kitchen table play with D&D-loving friends: the four Commander decks and . . . what? I...

I've only ever played kitchen table MTG, haven't played the game in many years, currently own no MTG cards, and (ever since a brief stint working in a game store years ago, interacting on a daily basis with many different customers, the worst-behaved of whom were invariably there to play MTG) I...

Right. But nonetheless WotC has chosen 1492 as the canon date for Descent. Apparently the video game Baldur's Gate III—which references the events of Descent as having occurred earlier in the same year—is set in 1492. Makes no sense, but that's that.

"Other": PCs should never die in an event over which the player had no control whatsoever. But no player ever has absolute control over any game event capable of killing anyone, whether themselves or another character. (The quasi-exception would be killing someone who does not resist, e.g. a...

You're right in spirit, I think—they're treating 5e as "the" D&D and downplaying the edition number—but it's not precisely true that they exile the term to the credits. The words "fifth edition" do appear on the back cover of every book they've released so far.

That’s possible, but the rumors from a while back included details about specific contributors (Deborah Ann Woll, for one) who didn’t show up in CM. Maybe the rumors were wrong, or maybe those authors’ contributions were cut, but I’ve been assuming these were two separate products, perhaps in...

Woah—five more products plus two additional surprises? That's quite a lot for one year. Definitely an increased output, as promised. EDIT: I think I misread; it's five products total (including Candlekeep and Ravenloft), not five more. Still an increase, but not as huge of one as I initially...

I suspect that if we see a July release for D&D this year, it’s going to be Forgotten Realms themed in one way or another and designed as a tie-in to the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set of Magic cards, which will be released on July 16.

Not currently playing anything other than D&D 5e, but looking for a game of The Dark Eye.

The structure of this narrative is pure Mike Mignola, right down to the captioned portrait that ends the tale. Brilliant stuff.

I think we can be sure of one thing: if this movie's screenwriters and director want there to be a volcano in Icewind Dale—or in the Sword Mountains, or in Mount Waterdeep, or erupting in the middle of Farmers' Road in Daggerford—then there will be a volcano in that place.

I'm looking forward to this. Is it still on track to be released today?

The Threat series is a tough one for me to evaluate overall. I agree that the story collection is one of the best such volumes they published, because of its focus. I think WotC must have agreed, because that becomes the template for the few remaining story collections before they stopped...
