    D&D 5E (2024) What's In D&D's New Starter Set?

    I ran a comic book store myself for a number of years, and this jibes with my experience, as well. On Free Comic Book Day, we would separate out the kid-oriented stuff and put it to one side; this was for the parents' benefit, since FCBD releases are confusing enough as it is without parents...

    WizKids Announces Potato Head Beholder Miniature

    Well, that is hideous. I want one.

    Who’s your vote for the next James Bond?

    I prefer the strategy of picking someone kind-of-well-known-but-not-really-oh-right-he-was-in-that-thing famous, rather than famous famous, which would be in line with earlier casting. This makes me hesitant to throw out any specific names. Much of it depends on what "kind" of Bond they want...

    Dungeons & Dragons Dumps Disclaimers From Book Credits Page

    This discussion reminds me of how The Simpsons writers would regularly lament that the gags with the least amount of payoff (the opening "couch gag" and chalkboard joke and, to a lesser extent, Bart's prank phone calls) required the most amount of effort. The team of writers would sometimes sit...

    A Call to Join Organized Play at PaizoCon Online and New Releases from Paizo

    I think they've done it once since the pandemic and wound up with a COVID-19 breakout, so they switched it to virtual the following year and haven't resumed in-person since. I wonder if cost effectiveness is also a factor.

    A Call to Join Organized Play at PaizoCon Online and New Releases from Paizo

    I wish they'd go back to an in-person format for PaizoCon. They could just do it hybrid and not lose the online contingent.

    Dungeons & Dragons Comments On Possibility of Future Movie Projects

    I mean, what's a powerful wizard supposed to do against a toddler with a club?

    The Fallbacks Are Getting Another D&D Novel

    Off topic, but this trilogy really cemented Junior High Me's love for Shadowrun as a setting.

    D&D 5E (2024) What's Your 2026 WotC D&D Wishlist?

    Guys, I am begging you not to turn this thread into another ourobouros of racial ability scores debate. As to the topic at hand: I'd like to see them break away from some of the expected patterns and formats; I don't mean odddities like the Book of Many Things and the slipcases, but throwing...

    Lulu 30% off Black Friday Code, what are must haves?

    "ZeFRS"--which is David "Zeb" Cook's '80s Conan roleplaying game with the IP filed off--is already very cheap, but a throwback oddity and casualty of licensing lapses. Plus it has, er, distinctive cover art. ZeFRS

    Yes, I quite like how this one is understated, but still on-theme.

    Dungeons & Dragons to Release 50th Anniversary Double Vinyl Record

    Yes, correct--I phrased it as "200th adventure path module" in an attempt to avoid confusion. It's 200 issues, and #200 is a stand-alone module rather than the usual multi-parters.

    Dungeons & Dragons to Release 50th Anniversary Double Vinyl Record

    As long as we are talking about official TTRPG soundtracks, Pathfinder has one to commemorate it's 200th adventure path module, Seven Dooms for Sandpoint.

    Ravenloft Novel Coming in 2025

    Ah, I misread the question and thought we were just talking about new D&D tie-in novels! Some light googling suggests it is mostly set in "Shatterspace," with the protagonist having grown up on an asteroid, so it seems no Realms here. Carry on.

    Ravenloft Novel Coming in 2025

    There's also the Spelljammer novel "Memory's Wake."

    D&D General D&D 50th Anniversary Gets A TIME Magazine Special Edition

    Grocery stores are a good bet. Walgreens tend to stock a lot of these "special interest" one-off magazines, at least in my area. And, as you already know, Barnes and Noble has a wide magazine selection. It looks like you can buy the "special issues" from Time's online store, but they don't...

    Magazines Dragon Reflections #79

    Why do you say that? Writing style? Mohan's position? For that matter, any guesses on this one?
