I’m pretty sure you don’t see families sitting round a table kitbashing commander decks on Christmas Day.

Have you read Tintin and the Picaros?

One thing to consider is that reading has declined significantly, especially amongst men and boys. So most D&D players aren’t learning their fantasy tropes from literature any more, they are learning them from video games.

It’s also not wrong. Gygax wasn’t into settings, which is why he really struggled when players started asking about the setting for his home game. His first attempt at writing a publishable setting was more suited to a wargame than an rpg.

Set an adventure there and find out, then you can let us know. The book isn’t written until someone writes it.

My players manage to play those sorts of characters in campaigns that last a couple of years.

It’s an easy game, but the deck building metagame is simply not something people do unless they are playing on a regular basis. And if you don’t have a deck you can’t play the game. You can see that on these forums there are a lot of people who used to play but fell off the deck building treadmill.

So, what you are saying about the market research, is a wizard did it. I think one of the challenges WotC face with MtG isn’t it isn’t very casual friendly. It’s not like Cluedo or Monopoly, something you can pull out and play with the family at Christmas. When players stop keeping up they tend...

I easy pleased, so long as there is plenty of gratuitous nudity I’ll be happy enough.

This sounds like fun. Not sure why the Dalelands label, that’s like Generic fantasy with a capital G. Ed and co can’t do high level adventures either.

Well, I’m not American, but, whilst I know how to tap land for mana, I’m not up with the different forms. I can say much the same about poker.

It draws heavily on Korean mythology, so if they want to expand on it they can just go to the source. I think it could make a good set. Of course it also needs to have good mechanics.

What’s the title and author?

I set an adventure there. The sources I used included The Mabinogion, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, W. B. Yeats’ Irish Fairy and Folk Tales, Doug Nile’s’ Darkwalker on Moonshae (he did create the setting) and Baldur’s Gate 1.

All the armed mercenaries the extremely rich person will send after the party when he realises he has been duped I expect. The potential problem is the mass production and sale of real magic items, not making high value short duration fake ones (which you can also do with certain spells).

How can I tell that it's not Lewis Carrol's raven?

Can’t be certain, I didn’t get opportunity to study it for long, but it was certainly a box labelled D&D not MtG. Of course, if it was it would have been a mock up not a finished product

Yeah, alchemist was still woefully underpowered, and armorer was completely borked.

They didn’t say anything officially, someone who was on staff at the time jumped the gun, including images of a boxed set and a date. Then there was a frantic effort from WotC to delete all mentions and images. It’s just occurred to me that it’s possible I got more time to see the stuff before...

One of my D&D players is quite well connected in MtG circles, they are my main source of gos. Yeah, MtG is flagging, and WotC are thrashing about trying to figure out how to reinvigorate it. Like D&D, their print costs are rising rapidly, but they don’t have enough popularity to significantly...
