And I am typically described in real life as an eternal optimist so what does that say? It is a simple fact that SOME consumers, particularly the younger set, don't always read all the fine print or details. Let the buyer beware of course but that goes without saying that it does happen. I...

That is some fantastic color art I have to admit. Love it. Several issues still exist however in my opinion. I've played through this adventure several times as a player. It is not the most well-written in my opinion especially in the later half. It is so easy to be lost with no idea what...

I have to kind of wonder. When "Waterdeep: Dragon Heist" was released, there was quite a bit of feedback from consumers disappointed that the storyline didn't include an actual "heist." Perhaps WotC is going overkill by now releasing a book with nothing BUT heists? Give the people what they...

Per the Amazon website for this upcoming product in February 2023: Keys From the Golden Vault is a Dungeons & Dragons adventure anthology with a heist at the center of every tale. This is all that is known for this book at this time.

If I remember correctly, #61 was the first issue I bought. I remember it because of the cool article on the gnomish deities but also because of the mini-adventure "Quest for the Midas Orb" which I played with my buddies at high school.

And here I was just assuming there were no orcs because they were so delicious. ;)

I remember when this first came out. I was so intrigued by the art work I had to get it. It was a nice edition overall. My complaint was the lack of supporting materials. There were so few adventures published it really wasn't worth my time and effort as a young kid to bother. So I didn't.

It is only natural to wonder how much of this will basically be "The Rise of Tiamat" Revisited (except now we call her Takisis).

I always think dice towers are a complete waste of money but the one they are offering looks VERY cool!

I remember this issue fondly. Loved the "Elven Point of View" and the article about the Seldarine. I was always enchanted by the art work of the various elven deities.

Looks cool. And if I still played face-to-face, I could be tempted. But since ALL of my gaming is now exclusively online on VTT, I have no need for these things.

Geesh that is painful to read. The term "professional" has so many different levels it would seem. It's amazing how TSR went through so many grade school level dramas. They basically dug their own grave. It was the consumer that suffered the most.

The first adventure out for 5e was "Horde of the Dragon Queen" followed by "Rise of Tiamat". I hope this is not just a rehash of the dragons but for Dragonlance now.

Kind of a giant "meh" all around from me for all of these news releases. The Phandelver campaign might be interesting but if I have one more game in the overly used Forgotten Realms I am going to spit up.

I guess I can understand that concept. I do like and use DMSGuild on occasion. But that leads to another potential issue in my mind. There are a LOT of people out there producing content but that doesn't necessarily mean it is "good" content or even worth the money. I understand there is...

That is my major concern with having multiple campaign settings. Spread out too thin and WotC will struggle with producing enough content for each one fairly. Poor producing lines will likely suffer. Looking back at the history of several campaign settings and you notice a HUGE discrepancy in...

Mythology was always my favorite thing to create as a DM. One of my homebrews had a TON of gods. I used to have people ask "Why so many?" or "You don't expect the players to remember all that do you?" My response: "Heck no. I did it for ME because I like mythology."

What I don't like about it is the "false advertising" of putting the characters from the classic '80s cartoon all over the box, releasing press notices about this as well as minis but then DON'T include their stats in the game. I should think it was a logical assumption that these would be the...

I always have a soft spot in my heart for this issue for some reason. I really loved the Halfling articles. Particularly the info on the halfling gods. I was just a kid when this issue first came out and the thought of halflings having their own mythology was completely alien to me at the...
