Here's the Rock Paper Shotgun review...its not pretty. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/10/21/sword-coast-legends-review/ I checked for the IGN review also, but they haven't posted it yet. The fact is that in this day and age, with the likes of Divinity: Original Sin, Pillars of Eternity...

Baldur's Gate was a very faithful rendition of 2E. Neverwinter Nights was a very faithful rendition of 3E. It boggles the mind why this game wasn't made to be a very faithful rendition of 5E.

Those girls are indeed very pretty. I'd venture to say the most attractive I've ever seen regularly play a pen and paper RPG (including house games, conventions, and a highly trafficked FLGS).

This looks awesome, cant wait to watch the video. Thats cool that Mercer made him a customized Witch Hunter class, if I had to guess it would be to the warlock what the ranger is to the druid and the paladin is to the cleric, a combat focused warrior/warlock hybrid.

Ugh. I'm not even my groups main DM, but I would never want to play the game with someone who had this mentality.

Indeed, 2E had the same. In pre 3E D&D, a fighter could grab a protection scroll and read it to garner its benefits. So this is just a callback to the AD&D days Creamsteak.

I think this is going to be the classic fear of FR campaigns flipped on its head, instead of Drizzt (or insert other NPC here) coming in to save the party, the party is going to have to save Drizzt, and I'm ok with that.

Honest question, why did they change their name from White Wolf to Onyx Path? It was generally a widely recognized brand name amongst gamers.

I didn't mean to be terse or off-putting, I quite enjoy the ENnies every year, I didn't happen to watch this year but I watched the live stream for the whole event last year. With that said, theres a reason why actors have Academy Award Winner and not Peoples Choice Award Winner next to their...

Whats interesting is no one really complains about the Pathfinder Core Rulebook, which is on like the 6th printing and has had errata and small changes with most of them. But Wizards says there might be a few changes in the PHB at some point in the future and it gets blown out of proportion. I...

Margaret, if you could revisit the setup for Dragonlance in 5th edition that you had during the 3rd edition days, would you? Or have those days passed and you would just prefer to do your own thing? Also, I love Raistlin, that is all. ;)

Well then every voter should be made aware of the parameters by which a category is judged before participating. Either that or the whole system needs to be revamped to be more concise across the board. Also, HotOE isnt inaccessible, literally anyone can go onto the Chaosium site and purchase a...

Is that what the defined judging criteria is for the Production Values category? I always took it that it was for the most crisp, highest quality product, not the best-bang-for-your-buck product.

Congrats to all the winners! I have to say though, I own the 5E Starter Set, I love the 5E starter set, but Horror on the Orient Express is the best box set in years. Its better than the Pathfinder Beginner Box, its better than the Dragon Age box sets, its the best one since the old TSR days...

I dont know if you are still answering this Ms. Weis, but I shall humbly ask anyway. I have always been overally fond of the Dragonlance setting, I love the Knights, the Wizards, the classical romanticized fantasy, the epic stories of good vs evil, even the darn kender. I loved the Chronicles...

I would say SAGA edition is the most simulationist of the bunch. Fantasy Flight is definitely the most narrative.

Umbran, the proper word is verisimilitude, not realism. I could care less about realism in games I play, but I very much care about verisimilitude. Realism: Reference in which something is correlated to its real world counterpart. Verisimilitude: Plausibility within the internal consistency of...

I could see them forgoing the "Monster Manual 2" name and instead calling it something like the "Monster Compendium". Just like if they ever do decide to do a splatbook it will be the Adventurers Handbook instead of the Players Handbook 2. I actually think this is smart marketing.

I will never understand people's dislike for "cheesecake" art. People in real life dress provocatively too. Go to any college campus on a Friday or Saturday night and tell me how you see the girls dressing. I went to visit a friend of mine in Morgantown at WVU this past fall and we went out on...
