    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    For clarity... this is a response to the person who posted the cover to Dream Park :cool: Not quite as far off as it seemed when I read this as a 5th grader many years ago. Great book... and very prescient. This might as well be the prequel to Ready Player One. Did you read the sequel? Not quite...

    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    From my perspective it's just another form of gate keeping. Outcasts and nerds should know better.

    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    It's not. But according to some, the sky is falling and "o noes this is teh end of D&D"! Change is bad! Young whippersnapper enjoying our old man's game is bad! Panic!

    WotC D&D's Best Year Ever - But Hasbro's Goal Is For D&D e-Sports

    I'm seeing a lot of "get off my lawn" in this thread. That's my only observation other than a big congrats to WoTC and the D&D brand. Time travel back to 1982... where 12 year old me would have laughed in your face had you told me this would be a thing in the next century. Thanks Twitch...

    Ravnica: Is This The New D&D Setting? [UPDATED & CONFIRMED!]

    I'm intrigued and have been waiting for an MtG/D&D crossover for years (even though I no longer play MtG).

    Core Rules Alternative Cover Gift Set

    Beautiful covers but not worth the extra $$$. If my screen were to wear out then I'd make an effort to get that screen.

    Preview WFRP4's Career List! Plus The Apothecary!

    I was going to say... no Rat Catcher would have been a deal-breaker for me! I'm liking the way this is shaping up and hearkening back to old school WFRP. Aside from D&D, this has always been my favorite system.

    THIS Is The Pathfinder Playtest Rulebook!

    The fact that they are selling and marketing hardcover books for a playtest... basically an alpha or beta version of the finished product, is a turn off for me. P.T. Barnum would be proud. WoTC released their playtest for 5e as free PDFs. There's a huge difference here.

    Dragon Reflections #3: Controversy Strikes!

    Just have to add it's pretty hilarious and terrible that one of the female thief level names is an actual, real-life, racial slur. Wonderful....

    The Most Useful D&D Features, Essays, & Interviews Selection Ever

    Some of the links appear to be broken. Didn't test all of them but the collector's guide to 1e brings up an error.

    Dragon Reflections #3: Controversy Strikes!

    I started playing D&D in 1979 and I believe the only remaining vestige of that Len Lafoka piece was that female characters had some stat limitations in the 1e PHB. Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I think they were unable (without magical means) to attain an 18/00 strength score... which at...

    What is the status of Cormyr in 5e?

    I've had Erin Evan's book on my Kindle for a couple of years now... time to give it a read apparently as my current campaign is set in The Stonelands (northern Cormyr).

    Based on that list I would say Amazon.com. Seriously though... congrats to Ken St. Andre!

    It's FREE RPG DAY, So Head To Your Local Game Store Today!

    Around the Table here in Lynnwood Washington did a great job. Demo'd some of the games, promoted it via social media for several weeks in advance, held raffles to keep people in the store... and it seemed to work. I got several nice freebies including the Goodman Games 5e adventure, We Be...

    Two New Settings For D&D This Year

    I would actually love it if they would take all of the Magic/D&D conversions they've done over the past couple of years and compile those into a hardcover (and add some new material). We have new races, monsters, builds, backgrounds, etc. I'd be happy with that!

    Two New Settings For D&D This Year

    I agree with the consensus that Spelljammer, Planescape, and Dark Sun are all good guesses based on some things we've seen over the past few months. I'd also say that Dragonlance may be a contender as well because Joe Manganiello seems to have a fair amount of influence with WotC and he is known...
