    D&D 5E (2024) Ed Greenwood to Publish 4 New Forgotten Realms Sourcebooks in 2026

    One does get the impression thst Greenwood is a better DM than a writer, so it could be somewhat of a failure to communicate a moment he made work at a table.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Basically the one advantage of this being in a digital only release: nobody bought the awkward phrasing in a permanent printed book.

    And Mercer is joining the cast!

    Your top 5 sci-fi movies (and why)

    The world is simply not ready for the Whiskey Tango Foxtrot of a film that really gets Phillip K. Dicks real points, mixing LSD with neo-Gnostic mysticism. "Deciphered, my novel tells a quite different story from the surface story (…). The real story is simply this: the return of Christ, now...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

     Essentially there are no Halfling or Gnome polities in Greyhawk: you have to look at the birthplace charts or wandering encounter tables to glran that basically Hnomes and Halflings, like Hill and Mountain Dwarves, live out in the boonies of the hills and mountain here's beyond the defined...

    Exactly, this happens to all of us...and the 20s has been intense for inflation.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Yea, though admittedly my friends are not the norm in most ways (both PhDs, MIT educated scientists). Apparently people playing Magic currently fall into three fairly equal groups: brand new players, people who have been playing a few years, and people who have been playing for ten years or...

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I mean, I have literally seen my godson and his siblings do that.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Right, most people who play aren't plugged into the Meta, they are kitbashing Commander decks. The deck building game there is casual and fun.

    D&D 5E (2024) Ed Greenwood to Publish 4 New Forgotten Realms Sourcebooks in 2026

    Because Greenwood has over 4 decades of Dalelands specific prep notes, probably.

    Forgotten Realms: Heroes of Faerun - First Impressions

    Two big issues with those regions: first, they never have received much attention. Second, in 4E they were obliterated. So they are both obscure and controversial. Not a good combo for development focus. However, if they did a Shining Soith plus Zakahara book thet gives these areas a proped new...

    Does Anyone Care? (Cosmere RPG)

    In this short talking about the background to the genesis of the Cosmere RPG, Johnny O'Neal drops a hint that the Plotweaver generic RPG will have guidelines for generating characters using the Call to Adventure board game, similar to the current guidelines for Stormligjt or using Call to...

    D&D 5E (2024) PAX WotC Dungeons and Dragons speculation thread.

    The usual lead time is about 3 months, that's the closest to product release WotC has announced stuff historically as they have to get the word out to distribution at that point.

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    The whole cards thing irritates me, but this game is moving onto my Borthday/Christmas wishlist at this point. Too unsure if I want it myself to invest dkrectly, but good fodder for a gift suggestion for an interesting surprise.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    I mean, quite the contrary, the game being pretty pick up and go is a big reason Magic really isn't having problems. True, though the ad hoc nature of kitchen play means all sorts of wild things are provavly going on. Commander is perfect for casual social play, and for kitbasbinf something out...

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    Weird zero sum thinking, that it is impossible for both Daggerheart and D&D to thrive.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    It has always seemed sensible and probable to me. Over the years, I have spent a few hundred dollars on Magic (bits and bobs here and there, nothing huge), but I have never drafter or done FNM or any sort of formal play. And how they know is obvious enough: serious market research. You would...
