    TSR Lorraine Williams, unfairly lambasted?

    I'd suspect in addition to all of these, TSR's lawsuits against Gary Gygax's attempted successor companies and products (Dangerous Journeys, Lejendary Adventures) aggravated the issues. I believe the Mayfair Games/Role Aids lawsuit was under Williams's leadership as well.

    TSR Lorraine Williams, unfairly lambasted?

    There were a few panels from Paizocon (at least one used to be on YouTube) called "Secrets of TSR", which had a whole bunch of TSR Alums who worked in the main office talking about the work environment and how, for example, they had try to steal time to playtest product off the clock, because...

    D&D General I'm reading the Forgotten Realms Novels- #202 The Howling Delve by Jaleigh Johnson (Dungeons 2)

    Also, if you're looking a way to get through some of these on your commute, a lot of the Forgotten Realms books are available from Audible, though they are something of a mixed bag. The Drizzt Do'Urden books are generally solid, whereas stuff like Darkwalker on Moonshae is... less so (Darkwalker...

    WotC Peter Adkison on the Origins of WotC

    I too am interested to see how the card game goes. ;):)

    WotC Could D&D Rights Be Stripped From WotC?

    I suspect that someone might be more inclined to try to strip copyright for a campaign setting than the game as a whole - Dragonlance, Greyhawk, or the Forgotten Realms.

    Critical Role Wendy’s sponsoring Critical Role?

    Does this mean Arbys and ENWorld will be collaborating next?

    So, I hate pdfs. Any advice on hating them less?

    The problem I've had with PDFs is finding the right reader for a tablet - one that lets me browse my PDF library while also allowing me to work with a PDFs table of contents so I can more easily skim through information (like going from the map of a dungeon to the write-up of a particular room)...

    Unearthed Arcana New UA Paladin and Bard.

    Minor aside, but I suspect that if we get a ($Planeswalkers) Guide to the Multi-Verse, I'm willing to guess they'll go with Karn.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dragon + #27

    Is Dragon+ at all available in a PDF or HTML version? I'm hesitant to use the app as the last time I used the app (admittedly a year or so ago), it bricked my phone.

    TSR When TSR Passed On Tolkien

    That is awesome. My hope is that around the time the Amazon LotR series comes out and the general public (or people who sell things to the general public) starts thinking about Lord of the Rings again, this gets picked up by Target (or it even gets picked up by Target before that).

    TSR When TSR Passed On Tolkien

    That's kind of an unreasonable comparison - that's equivalent to saying that your online first person shooter is not succeeding and can never be successful because it's not doing as well as Fortnite.

    TSR When TSR Passed On Tolkien

    The Decipher license was hamstrung by (IIRC) being limited to the material contained in the films and the first three books. The Cubicle 7 license came around after most bookstores stopped carrying RPGs, which, if you want to improve visibility to expand the market (before the existence of RPG...

    TSR The Dueling Essays of Arneson & Gygax

    The thing is about Gygax and Arneson, going from Playing At The World, is that Arneson, from the sounds of things, really didn't have reproducible, standard rules. He had a whole bunch of notes that he could make heads or tails of, and which Gygax was able to organize, edit, and polish while...

    WotC WotC will do what you say for 5 years. What are your instructions?

    Over the next 5 years, one adventure and one setting & rules book for 5 settings, opening each setting up on DM's Guild in the process. In no particular order. 1) Birthright (with the setting book having kingdom management rules) 2) Spelljammer (with a more expanded setting) 3) Dark Sun...

    D&D 5E (2014) My FLGS did not have the Essentials box set today

    I check my FLGS when I can... but my two closest FLGSs closed (Ancient Wonders and Legend of Gamers), and between going to the game store and getting my comics from my FLCS (a different store), those two stops can take what was an hour of driving and turn it into 3-4 hours, depending on which...

    Paizo Update: Cult of Cinders, Tomorrow Must Burn, Fate of the Fifth, and More!

    Has Paizo said if the Gamemastery guide will have guidelines for creating NPCs and advice on putting together stat blocks?

    D&D General D&D Funko pops - including Minsc and Boo

    Not a fan of the Funko Pop aesthetic - I more prefer the Nendoroid style as well (along with the fact that the figures let you customize their appearance - something you can't do with Funko Pops).

    D&D General A Dungeon That IS A Dragon?

    I have not had the opportunity to run this kind of dungeon yet, but there is something like this in one of the novels in the Martha Wells Books of the Raksura series.

    Pathfinder 2E Here's The Official Pathfinder 2E Character Sheet

    That one is nicer, but I would like more room to write down what feats do.
