Just as it seems to be causing some confusion - the initial playtest release is a "learn the rules" starter nominally set in the TNG era with slightly simpler characters than standard. Future releases will include the different ships and adventures based on the sign-up preferences. Sent from...

Glad I could help!

I'm running Drawboard 5.0.10.0 and (as examples) the Numenera core book and The Strange Bestiary show their creator-added bookmarks in the Bookmarks top-tab on the Search sidebar. I guess there may be different ways for creators to add bookmarks, and some don't display in Drawboard, though.

I think Drawboard does all three. Bookmarks are on one of the left-hand buttons (the search one?) with a second click on the small tab bar that appears at the top of the sidebar.

Yep, it sounds like a really good product, which should be appealing to children (particularly those who are fans of the other Ology books) and encourage them to think about D&D style games. And the books seem to be well illustrated and amusingly written so I'll probably get it for the Realmslore!

I don't think it'll be a Volo's Guide in the same way as the old series. The "Ology" series of books are, I guess, aimed at pre-teens with an interest in monstrous/fantasy stories. Here's Amazon's page for the first Dragonology book...

By default (I think) Twitch broadcasts are available to rewatch on demand from the Past Broadcasts link on a streamer's profile page. The streamer can delete them (and, perhaps, limit access to paying subscribers etc) but I've been able to watch most WotC videos between broadcast and them being...

Is this likely to get into distribution to (UK) game stores? I can't afford to risk backing a physical copy without a clear idea of the eventual shipping costs (and probably wouldn't be willing to pay those costs anyway) so I'm in for PDF only. (No real criticism of the project - except that an...

Yes, but as "D&D Encounters" and "D&D Expeditions" are no longer active names for events, any events in the system created with those names are/will be 'cancelled' (i.e. removed from the website/event reporter) and store organisers will be able to create the generic "D&D" event if they want to -...

I think GUMSHOE, like the various Cortex Plus games, is an interesting development in the game design sphere where influences from narrowly-focused "indie"/story games are being developed into larger and slightly more general games. GUMSHOE can be implemented in different ways, and each contains...

I must admit I was entirely expecting using a touchscreen to be problematic but would never have guessed that clicking two buttons together would be chosen as an interface method, nor, really, that third-button use would be important - plenty of mice don't/haven't had third buttons, surely? Is...

Is there a way to use this feature on a laptop/with a trackpad without physical mouse buttons? More generally, is there a basic introduction to the interface design principles for FG as I've often found myself confused as to how to get it to do what I want - when do I click, when do I drag...

I don't entirely understand Google's analytics, but is the information Google's guesses as to age, gender, etc (based on aggregates of what people of particular ages, genders, income groups etc tend to search for and view on the web) rather than accurate information about each web user? In which...

I don't understand this post. Surely the OGL provides a licence for publishers to use to license the copyright in text expressing game rules. There is copyright in that text, even if there isn't copyright in the underlying concept of the rules, and copying that text without a licence - for...

Following that gets me to a URL for the PDF of the AL adventure: https://media.wizards.com/2015/downloads/dnd/DDEX32_ShacklesBlood.pdf Thanks!

As I understand it, WotC's store support team doesn't necessarily have the final version of the adventure when it has to send the certs to print, so there are, at various times, items without certs and certs which are pointless (and should be thrown out) as they don't correspond to an item in...

Hey CapnZapp - can I point you to the Adventurers League Europe Facebook group? The European Regional Coordinator posts there and would love to try to support AL play in Sweden. There are local groups in various European countries and it'd be great if Sweden was added to the list...

Have you tried again? I was trying to make an account last night to pre-order and got the same failure message, but it works now. I think (from Twitter) that their account system broke but it's fixed again now!

Regarding the reviews, I'm also seeing some very favourable comments from Star Wars role players I follow on Twitter, if that's a counterpoint. I'm in the same boat as Morrus though, so I can't read it for myself until next week. I think most of the one-star Amazon reviews are from people who...

It's got the animated recap, from a 15s preview. Plus it's on WotC's channel, uploaded by them, rather than by someone who copied it from the PAX stream somehow and uploaded it to his own unofficial channel. I can understand why WotC would want people visiting their YouTube channel to watch...
