I'll be keeping my eye on this one. Mythic rules (not counting the Epic Level Handbook) and the death of a god are both things I lack on my bookshelf.

The whale fishing continues.

Very much looking forward to this.

I've heard this game/setting mentioned so many times in podcasts I listen to that I had to back it as well. I've heard good things about it using an evolution of the Year Zero game engine, as that was one of the complaints I saw about the older edition.

Yeah I have a spreadsheet lol.

Thank you sir! Shadowdark would be amazing too. The stuff released so far is awesome.

Yes. I'm fully planning on doing some one shots for a smaller subset of my friends who are less 5e-centric and then hoping one catches on. Forbidden Lands would be my next campaign if I had to choose.

I'm in the same boat as you it seems. Don't enjoy 5e anymore, don't like any of the books from Tasha's onwards (coincidentally that's when Mearls was ousted). The challenge is getting my friends to try new games. So far they're good with 2e, 3.5e, Pathfinder 1e and Savage Worlds, but anything...

And those other companies/publishers shouldn't get a free pass to do this either. WotC can reap what it sows.

Not in a million years WotC!

I had to nerf/ban/houserule a lot of stuff to make it work. Was way too much effort IMO when the game could have been much easier to run in 2e or 3.5e where all of that work has been done already. If I was to use a non-D&D game for it I'd likely go with Forbidden Lands or Savage Worlds. 5e is...

As someone who has run it with 5e, I can agree with that feeling. If I ran it again, it would be 2e using the original books, or 3.5e using Athas.org's awesome conversion.

I went all in on the Savage Worlds Sci-Fi Companion. That thing is going to be huge. The Shrike almost got my money too, but I already have too many OSR adventures backed.

WotC has been trending towards digital only since they bought D&D Beyond and announced their VTT. This is aligns with all of their monetization talk, Microsoft CEO's, the recent layoffs, the changes to their publishing contracts, and so on. The writing's on the wall. My guess is by the end of...

This might be a pilot product for just that. But I'm expecting to see this become the norm for WotC by next year.

Personally I haven't had chance to play 1e, but 2e was my first RPG and I was instantly hooked. Especially settings like Dark Sun and Birthright. That love continued into 3.5e (and Pathfinder) and that love persists to this very day (for those editions). Tried 4e as a DM and while it was easier...

Because D&D encompasses all editions as well as the OSR and similar clones. It's not just Hasbro, WotC, 5e, or 6e.

Hasbro and WotC I refuse to support in any way whatsoever. 5e is played out. Played it as a player and GM for a few years, it got boring fast, and I'm well on to other games and systems now.

Nope. Not touching any of it.
