    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 1: Editions

    Going PDF has allowed me to trim some of my collection. However, a lot of the PDFs I have are from the 1st round around '95, with a lot of bad scans or horribly chopped up and unusable poster maps, making me reluctant to get rid of certain titles. I'm trying (and getting the updated PDFs as I...

    D&D General I need some lore help for the Lord of the First (Baator)

    Hell is a politics nightmare. History is rewritten to suit the writer, and as with many things on the Outer Planes, belief becomes reality. That is to say, ALL of it, some or none may be true, and the lore could even possibly shift on the different layers, according to the "memories" of those...

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    12-18 months was what I was referring to for end-to-end from concept to completion (plan, pass to writer, playtest, revise, editor pass, get art, do layout, get print proof, submit corrections, print run). On the core books they were probably being worked on simultaneously and the last portion...

    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 1: Editions

    Yikes! Over the years I've made the mistake of collecting every product I could find (not including variations) for Basic, 1E, 2E, and 3/3.5E (including a lot of 3rd party products). I've slowly been selling off the stuff I'll never use, but I've still got a storage unit full of stuff I need...

    D&D General About the goals of Strahd (Curse of Strahd) -Spoilers *Maybe*-

    I'm a little unclear - is she already a vampire or is Strahd working towards turning her? In all the times I've run Ravenloft, the characters protecting Ireena from Strahd has been a major plot point. Many times she has joined the party to fight at their side, with Strahd planning ambushes...

    D&D General Eberron - why don't you run it? [-]

    I was turned off to Eberron when it was first released because it felt too "high magic" and modern, with the likes of Lightning Rails, Warforged (robots), common feather fall tokens in Sharn, skydisks and the like, and was concerned it was going to spill into core D&D as the default. Luckily...

    WotC D&D Universes Beyond

    There was a Game of Thrones article in Dragon, with a map of one of the keeps back in the day. It would be nice to see them do a full-blown D&D campaign world tied to Game of Thrones now, especially if they went the One Ring/Middle Earth route and were willing to modify the base game to fit GoT...

    WotC D&D Universes Beyond

    Didn't they already do a D&D clue back in 3E with the iconics? And as good as Renegade's games are, I am surprised that Hasbro didn't do the RPGs for Transformers, GI Joe and MLP in-house and by someone on the D&D crew in the first place. As for Universes Beyond, give me a D&D Axis and Allies...

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    There probably will be, but it will take time. I think it used to take 12-18 months to turn around a product idea for D&D, so unless they already had something planned (which I don't believe they do at this moment) we likely won't see it for a year or more.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    There's already a terrific RPG Transformers game via Renegade. It is more based on an Alternity/skill die system, but does use d20 for resolution.

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Usually in the past few years, the illustrations in the books often had a hint of books that were upcoming ("Wanted: Kelek" in Tasha's foreshadowing Wytchlight and the Gymnasium picture foreshadowing Planescape). Have we seen anything in the likes of the 2024 books or Dragon Delves that might...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    From the things I've read, it wasn't an accident. Gary deliberately wrote B2 to replace B1 primarily because Mike Carr was getting a 2% royalty on every sale of the adventure (rather than being paid a fixed sum for producing the module) and that was cutting into TSR's profits. I'm guessing as...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Heroes of the Borderlands - First Impressions

    Well, B2 - but we know what you mean. ;) It would be interesting to see what B1 - Into the Unknown would look like for 5E (outside of the OAR treatment).

    D&D General Blue on Blue (Goblins)

    Eh, why base an entire race/subrace on a color? /sarcasm I'd just like to see a whole book on psionics itself and a Dark Sun campaign to drop them in, personally. As for blue goblins I don't think they need to be broken out like the half-dozen elf races we've seen in past editions. Just...

    RPG Evolution: You Go First

    When I used to organize party order for my games, my preferred method was to have the rogue ahead of the group (enough that the party's clanking fighters didn't adversely affect stealth). The main group then had a melee fighter in front and in rear. Rear guard had to be on the highest alert as...

    Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set: Heroes on the Borderlands Review

    Eh, don't know why they just didn't go with Caltrops. As for the Ale prices, this place is on the Borderlands, so perhaps its more expensive here. It's not cheap to get this stuff into the Keep safely with all the banditry around or it being "confiscated" by the guards upon arrival!

    D&D General Monster Importance in Homebrews?

    Both. As @Edgar Ironpelt states, there might be some important to the formation of the world (such as in my "Dragons Must Die" campaign), or may come as custom creations borne out of play or just wanting something that fits the world (Like the Maughtley - dwarves who became minotaurs due to...

    D&D General Hero's Diary - Digital D&D Character Sheet

    Just went and played with it - I definitely like the looks of it. Also, so glad it has a dark mode off the bat! If you don't mind, a few screen shots from a test character (using 2014 rules)...
