    Netheril's Fall - First Impressions

    For the Elves, yes, but Netheril is more like Classical Rome in terms of influence on the Realms, not Sumeria. There are other, loster Civilizations in the FR for that.

    D&D General New Official Forgotten Realms Books Trailer

    I would think more a premium animation like Arcane.

    Netheril's Fall - First Impressions

    The Fall of Netheril was -339 DR, over 1800 years prior to the current FR book timeline, and generations ago even for Elves and Dwarves.

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    This is a more niche product, so ultimately way fewer.

    I saw some speculation that she might be the Fay BBEG from the Moonshae section?

    Netheril's Fall - First Impressions

    I mean, the Species, Backgrounds and Feats can be years of gameplay for someone, Monsters and Adventures are a but more one-off.

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    Right, I'm sure Kobold Press has razor thin margins. I juat don't think WotC has large margins on a product the price of a sandwhich.

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    Just reading summaries of what ia in there actually showed a whole bunch of interesting character ideas that weren't all that doable prior.

    Valve announces Steam Frame, Steam Machine, Steam Controller

    I'm not saying it is a particularly compelling reason (personally I don't think VR will ever become mainstream, it's a niche idea), but it is an attempt to assuage one of the major complaints VR systems get: the lack of anything to do with them. So the analogy is maybe a flying car advertising...

    Valve announces Steam Frame, Steam Machine, Steam Controller

    Not an advantage for playing the game, but more an advantage for this as a VR headset that there is actually software for it: the big issue with a lot of VR systems has been the lack of things to do on them, now at least one's whole Steam library would be available.

    Pretty sure the Lich dude is Sammaster.

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    Kobold Press, first, doesn't WotC salaries, and second, doesnhave the overhead of running a cloud service like Beyond.

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – Dungeons of Drakkenheim, Pioneer, MÖRK BORG日本語版, and more

    Yeah, it is an interesting case study, being a funding project not from Critical Role themselvss, but from another popular creative team. Amd it is doing well for what it is.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    That could be extremely cool.

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    And isn't new: the OG AD&D PHb was like $48 adjusted, as opposed to $28 for White Plume Mountain...$28 for the 12 page version.

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    In general, in TTRPG circles, those are underpriced.

    Forgotten Realms: Astarion's Book of Hungers - First Impressions

    Yeah, I would not even be interested in a PDF, if it isn't in print no dice. But the price seems fair enough for the content, format issues aside. Adjusted for inflation, TSR 32 page books were about $28-31 now.

    Wizards of the Coast Re-Registers Dark Sun With USPTO

    I think anyone can smash anything they want...but WotC combining Dragonlance and Dark Sun is fairly unlikely.
