I'm actually a big fan, but I think it's going through some growing pains. It's well worth attending, particularly if you're fond of earlier editions/OSR stuff.

It was noticeably much more crowded and hectic this year! I wonder if that's the new norm or a combination of the 50th anniversary year/the Gygax kids amping up their hustle. I love the Grand Geneva as a venue, though Gary Con now seems to push its resources to the limit. What does "egos at the...

You (maybe) know I'm there. Still 1000+ regular ("Silver") weekend passes left as of this typing, though I suspect they will eventually sell out like last year.

I've been trying to get "red spine D&D" going a few different places online, but so far, no takers. :(

It worked for Detective Comics Comics and Major League Baseball Baseball.

I'm amused at the idea of some pensioner trying to mail something and wondering what the trunk with teeth is all about. The unified look is nice, though I might have picked someone besides Reynolds (whose work I like fine, I just associate it with a frozen-in-time version of the game from 20+...

OP is referring to Rege-Jean Page (Xenk).

A shame she didn't live to see the honor, but it's nice that her wife will accept it on her behalf. And seeing Monica Valentinelli's name involved suggests to me that she got the ball rolling on this one! At any rate, some much deserved recognition.

I can see them going for the mimic for sure, for the brand recognition reasons you suggest. Assuming the artist and the style is the same for the alt cover, I was thinking maybe a displacer beast, since that's a distinctly D&D monster and the pseudopods and displacement effect would make a...

We've had dragons (dracolich counts) on both covers so far, so this tracks. I assume they would lean heavy on iconic monster types (mind flayers, giants, mimics... maybe they skip the beholder this time, since that's on the current MM cover). If they do a progression of challenge types again...

I admit that this seemingly small thing has bothered me as well. My copy of Storm King's Thunder is taunting me from my shelf even as I type.

Well, here you have the answer to the question of "What do we call this new-edition-not-new-edition?": This is red spine D&D. "What edition are you playing?" "Oh, I started with red spine D&D, so I just run that."

I've just rewatched Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves on bluray (like it even more on rewatch!), and in the deleted scenes is an extended version of the Speak with Dead sequence. In it, the corpse which, in the film, is asked what it's favorite book is, goes on at length listing all of his...

This is basically the premise of Kieron Gillen and Stephanie Hans's DIE comic book series (and its spinoff RPG).

LOL I admit I had a similar thought (and I bet the minisgallery.com regulars I see around here can relate). "Crap! And all I had left were the silver and blue!"

UltraPro has been in the habit of putting the 5e book covers art on a wide variety of merchandise (playmats, banners, character portfolios, card sleeves, and what-have-you), so you might want to keep an eye on them.

And not for the first time there, either!

This is Regdar erasure! Hasn't the poor guy suffered enough? Regarding the cartoon characters: I did not watch it growing up, even though I was squarely in the target audience while it was airing, so I have no nostalgia for it. What little I've seen of it looks... kind of bad? I'm sure one of...

At last, a Lovecraftian RPG!

That font is very "'90s Marvel Comics."
