My understanding is that WotC thinks otherwise. And if you meant that "Ed Greenwood's original contract specifies that Realms content (written by him) is canon," then all I can say is that I've heard variations of that for decades now, always with differing details, and I've never found it...

I ordered a book from Amazon yesterday, with overnight shipping. When it was delivered this morning, the package contained no book, instead having a pouch of magnesium gummies that were marked as being a sleep aid. Being quite tired due to having stayed out late partying with my friends last...

I just finished reading a 1994 reprint of A. W. Reed's 1965 book, Aboriginal Fables and Legendary Tales, and I have mixed feelings about it. As the title makes clear, this is a collection of seventy-three tales from the native people of Australia. All are very short, averaging two pages in...

I made a thread, a couple of years ago, about having PDF files turned into books over on lulu.com that's hopefully helpful: https://www.enworld.org/threads/printing-personal-copies-of-books-on-lulu-com-tips-and-tricks-ive-learned.698757/

You don't have to, I will. :P For instance, the claim was "over" a decade and a half old, when it's not even exactly a decade and a half old.

Um, no. The D&D Next playtest began in May of 2012, according to an interview with some guy named Mike Mearls.

This reminds me of a post that game designer Owen K. C. Stephens made over on his Patreon page for what he calls "minor gestalts." It's essentially the same as the normal gestalt rules, but you can only gestalt with an NPC class. In practice, this means having your gestalt class be either the...

You had two 20th-level wizards in your group, and that was the best they could do? No one cast vision ahead of time to try and figure out what they needed to be wary of? No one had a contingency spell with greater dispel magic set to counterspell? No one was willing/able to cast wish after the...

If the issue is simply making the "boss" last longer, consider giving them maximum hit points per die. It usually won't give them more than an additional round or two, but it can help make the PCs sweat a bit for how the enemy won't go down as easily as expected. There's a great article about...

I'll refer you to the table of contents for the AD&D 1E PHB:

"I'm a murderhobo, but at least I'm a sober murderhobo!"

Here's Krisp's summary of the video: Introduction to the Panel The panel is moderated by Gordon Bellamy, who expresses his enthusiasm for Dungeons and Dragons and introduces Jeremy Crawford, the lead game designer of D&D. The setting is Comic-Con Malaga, where the audience is welcomed with...

You're the one who suggested that being able to ride a dragon was innovative, and that's why the Purple Dragon Knight got shouted down by the community. Don't blame me for pointing out that being a dragonrider was not only an innovation that D&D had hit upon much earlier in its life than you...

To be clear, while Gygax minimized the influence of Tolkien on D&D, he did concede that things such as hobbits, orcs, ents, etc. were derived from his work. No, that was Douglas Niles. As per Shannon Appelcline's history of FR2 Moonshae: Meanwhile, Jeff Grubb and Ed Greenwood were preparing...

You're playing fast and loose with the truth. Again. I brought up Council of Wyrms not because it was the most recent "actual" (whatever that means) change in the game, but because it directly undercut your assertion that having mechanics for riding dragons was an innovation that WotC pulled...

I always enjoyed Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic (YAFGC), but since it has a not-inconsiderable number of NSFW instances, I'm going to play it safe and not link to it here.
