I always felt it was him, Perkins and Crawford as a team. I do feel like something has been missing since he left.

Has nothing to do with the size of the staff. Mearls wasn't fired from WOTC, he was moved to D&D licensing and then to MTG and then resigned recently to pursue other projects. Mearls moved from the game to licensing (he worked with Larian for example) a LONG time ago. His replacement has even...

I would say their budget is fine and the D&D team hasn't been big like the 3.x era since... 4e.

My money is on the DMG with different parts of Greyhawk as examples of cities, towns, etc. Probably focused on the City and surrounding environs.

It's simple Illustrator...

They will still be in BooksAMillion and B&N, just not through the same distributor. WOTC wouldn't be so dumb as to cut off their hand. OK, maybe but they will still be in book stores and big box retailers through other channels.

I want the legos and the book. Gimme.

To be honest, while my previous answer was a joke, we tend to a more old style of play where there isn't an endgame and the story is more about the players than anything I write. I create scenarios, a page or three will lead to several months of adventures for us as I riff off the players and...

I still want a new FRCS. WOTC failed that.

0 level yes... 1st level? Not so much. Roll the Body greatly increases survival and becomes available at level 1.

It was less than a decade ago but he has continually been featured in animation since he was introduced. So it wasn't an attempt to reintroduce, it was a repackaging with modern storytelling. They did animated movies and specials with him throughout the decades.

1: I didn't say extend the copyright. I didn't even imply it. The trademark prevents the use of the terms "Mickey Mouse" & "Steamboat Willie" as a selling point for your PD derived product. 2: No, you can not publish a book called Daredevil or a toy, movie, TV series about a disabled Superhero...

I had bought Swords & Wizardry thinking that would scratch the itch of what I wanted and it did not. It is a great rewrite, but it felt so... generic... compared to 0e. I had a couple other more old school games but they felt super niche even while trying to emulate old D&D. I wanted this game...

this is horrifying

Gary found a good workaround though, hobbits are called Halflings, voila Halfling. Though even back then the D&D Hobbit bore only a slight resemblance to Tolkien in that while the lore was still very "Hobbit" actual play and then fiction they were all sneaky, conniving little monsters.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAND Return of the King!

Oh no, it runs afoul because it says 2 things: Mickey Mouse & Steamboat Willie, both of which are Disney trademarks. You can make a character called Wolverine, feature him in your comics etc. but nowhere can you put the name "Wolverine" as trade dress or to sell the character. Even the public...

That still violates trademarks LOL
