Please. First, we don't know the digital format yet . . . WotC has released this kind of content both in PDF format and in web format before. It's likely it will be web format, but we'll have to see. But even so . . . WotC has offered digital extras going back to the days of 3E. In various...

No matter the format, you are purchasing a license rather than ownership of the book (or other type of media). The physical media definitely has the advantage of not disappearing into a puff of smoke with a website change or some other corporate change . . . but physical media can be lost too...

The main, larger article, is only available to subscribers . . . behind a paywall. Or if you pick up the print magazine at your local store. Which, I'm personally totally fine with. A whole lotta upset over nothing, IMO.

The "board game" language is being used for both this Stranger Things set and the new Starter Set as well. I'm not worried. It's just a way to describe all the doo-dads that come with the rules and adventures.

Kinda. It doesn't cover what happened to the kids and the town of Hawkins, but it gives us Eddie's "lost" adventures he would have run the Hellfire Club players through . . . had events gone differently.

A pre-order link is now available on D&D Beyond...

Dude. Relax. D&D played the biggest role in Season 4 with Eddie and the Hellfire Club. It makes a lot of sense for a D&D boxed set to focus on. This boxed set isn't a promo for Season 5, it's a tie-in to the series overall, timed to take advantage of the hype for the last season. We'll have to...

They're smiling because they're having fun! What's better than a dungeon delve to blow off some steam? :)

Cash grab? That's a term I dislike intensely, as it simply means, "Why didn't they make a product I would have liked?" And what is inherently wrong with making a product that is likely to be successful and make money . . . to grab cash? Tried and true formula? If you got one, use it. But this...

Inside scoop says clone Ultraman returns in the sequel as Nuclear Bizarro! Who fights Ultraman from Earth 3!!

It is difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. And exactly how difficult varies with the video game, tv show, or movie they are trying to tie into. I'm armchair quarterbacking here, but . . . For the movie D&D Honor Among Thieves . . . previous D&D movies did not do well, this may have...

Disagree. The mechanical impact of species at 1st level only versus the 20 level spread of class . . . that means your heritage is your background, it's where you begin, but your class defines who you are. It prioritizes your actions over your parentage, which I prefer. Over the years various...

If you want the scoop on super pets . . . watch this film: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8912936/ It's surprisingly hilarious!

It's hard to talk about these things . . . race, culture, ethnicity . . . because as a species we've been. pretty bad about it over the millennia and have used the slight differences between populations to excuse horrible things against each other . . . Plus it's complicated and messy. Which...

Culture and ethnicity are not as distinct as you might think. There are German and Scandinavian (Viking) phenotypic (physical) traits. You can grow up in those societies while looking different, but you will stand out as an outsider. You can be born into those societies and then grow up within...

Sorta. Technically, sure . . . but your ethnicity is a lot about perception. Your own self-perception and how others perceive you. I have mixed European descent, with ancestors from England, Scotland, and Germany (that I know of). But I don't think of myself as having a mixed ancestry, and have...

You make some good points . . . but . . . Not including the "half" races is an "erasure of multi-ethnic family representation"? Nah. Certainly, D&D players of mixed descent sometimes saw themselves in such characters, like Tanis Half-Elven from the Dragonlance stories. But the way the game...

Studio Agate does the Fateforge RPG, which is basically another alternate D&D like Tales of the Valiant . . . but with amazing production values and artwork. 7th Sea fans are in for a treat, visually at least!

Yup, one of my stores sells used RPG books and has 3e, 4e, 5e 2014, 5e 2024, and last time I was in there and looked, some older books as well. Serious fans know the difference, but for casuals and grandmas buying gifts it's confusing. You can ask a staff member for help . . . but they will...
