I am not sure I would call a corporation trying to maximize profits as money grabbing. It sounds more like fiscal responsibility. If they offer products and services that either nobody is interested in or for too high a price, then the invisible hand of the marketplace will tear them down and...

I hear ya. I mean, it's only important to me insofar as if buying the bundle from dndstore.wizards.com saves me $15 but I don't get the extras, I'd much rather buy the physical and digital copies separately and get the extras.

Totally. For example, I think D&D Beyond is an amazing way to manage a character and to manage encounters. You won't find me at a gaming table with a paper character sheet. I'm even getting to the point where I'm wondering at my decision to purchase a physical copy and a D&D Beyond copy of D&D...

Yeah, same, I didn't see any mention of extras. The only reason I had hoped they might be included is because in the description of the pre-order bundle it mentions you get early access to the digital copy on D&D Beyond. So clearly there is some connection between the act of pre-ordering the...

I feel ya. As a Gen-Xer who has one Boomer in his gaming group, I feel barely relevant. But I guess one of the nice thing about getting older is that I don't really care about that stuff much anymore. If I can sit down with friends, tell a good story, roll some dice, and have some laughs then...

Does anyone happen to know, if I pre-order the physical + digital bundle on dndstore.wizards.com will I still get the pre-order bonus items (frames, backgrounds, etc.) that D&D Beyond typically gives away with a digital pre-order?

I mean...since D&D started there has never been a coherent DMG. If they haven't figure out how to make one by now, I'm a bit skeptical that this "new, polished" version will all of a sudden crack the code. But I'm a D&D nerd through and through, so I'll buy it and read it. Maybe I will be...

I mean, if we knew why something becomes popular then everyone would only create popular things. It's a mystery why some products enter the Zeitgeist and most do not. Minecraft was just the right product at the right time, and it's trajectory was catapulted by YouTube and, later, Twitch...

I love that these things exist. I think they're healthy for the hobby. But if I were going to spend $200 or $500 on gaming stuff, for my preferences it would not be one of these. They look gorgeous, though. Great job, B&G.

I wonder how long it will be before Embracer/Asmodee tries to buy them up...

The biggest shock to me in all of this is that Starfinder has already been out for FIVE YEARS. Where does time even go? 😭

I love how they posted their walk back under the name DND Beyond Staff. They couldn't even be bothered to attribute any name to this debacle, instead cowering behind that anonymous name. Sigh.

Does anyone know if The Thief & The Necromancer is a GM-less game for two people? I read the Kickstarter campaign page but it wasn't clear (or I just blatantly missed it). Thank you!

It's odd because Goodman Games labels OAR6 as a fifth edition conversion. It says it right on the cover. But it's not actually converted at all. All of the encounters, including awarded treasure, are "faithfully reproduced" from the original adventure. In fact, the book goes so far as to say the...

I haven't laughed so hard in long time. Well played!

I don't. I don't begrudge people who enjoy those kinds of add-on items, but it offers zero draw for me personally.

I think we should differentiate between being able to afford something and the belief that one is getting a good value for that money. I can afford this, but to me it doesn't pack enough punch to be worth $400. We live in a digital age, so the many paper battle maps offer negligible value for my...

As long as said crypt could accommodate a box that is approximately 16 ½" tall, 13 ½" at its widest point, and 3 ¼" thick. :)

The softcover book is the same size as a standard D&D book in terms of the height and width of the cover. It’s not quite as thick as the original CoS because the monster/NPC section was removed and put in another booklet (also included in the box). The box itself is massive. I was shocked at...

This one isn't for me. As others have already said, the d20 system has some serious limitations with regards to this type of gaming. And if you were going to play a d20 superhero TTRPG, you can pretty much cover any type of genre and power level with Mutants & Masterminds.
