So if you change all of the Planes to no longer be Planes, and add things to the Forgotten Realms that were not parts of the Forgotten Realms, then... they are the same setting? Uh... I guess? But what’s the point? I can take apart a car and a boat, then build them into something new, but that...

Flavor and story are major things missing. That’s like asking what is missing from Strahd and Ravenloft that isn’t already in the vampire write up in the 5e MM? I mean, castles are a dime a dozen, why do we need a special one for Ravenloft? Obviously, this is absurd, but it’s just as absurd...

Jer answers it very well on why a new setting might not be coming any time soon. With that being said, as well as the fact that there are several settings I would really really love new material for, I would also really love to see a new setting. Not because I know there's some niche that isn't...

As someone who LOVES Planescape and although having never played Spelljammer is fascinated by it, this sums it up quite well. Plus "grounded, mud and blood Game-of-Thronesism" sounds utterly unappealing to me, personally. Of course, I was the weird kid growing up who was far more likely to play...

The wording is all a little vague - especially broken into separate quotes in the article. For one thing, the number of things is a bit vague from "a couple settings" and "two surprises this summer" but possibly a (third?) different surprise they are announcing in July?? Also, nowhere does he...

There's already a Holly Conrad DMed Planescape game but a 2nd one would be fun! :) Trapped in the Birdcage started back in February. I'm way behind, but I started trying to annotate the canonical Planescape references on my Rule of 3 intro to Planescape blog. Hoping to get caught up over the...

Wow, lay that sarcasm on a little thicker, eh?

WotC also was clear that they told press before the stream about Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. So, yes, a member of the press should expect more information sooner than the rest of us because that’s exactly what they did just yesterday. The issue is probably that they didn’t consider EN World to be a...

Plus, am I the only one who saw the cover image small and thought it was a big-headed halfling with a blue dress?

Could be. Matthew Sernett wrote a chapter of Volo giving an in-character tour of Waterdeep.

A Zardoz reference??? Really?! I need to wash my eyes! ;)

I didn’t catch the last 10-15 minute of th round table, but prior to that I didn’t hear level range mentioned. HOWEVER, it might be flexible especially since it’s much less dungeon based and more directly competing against rivals that likely scale with you. A big hint in this direction is Jeremy...

Yep, 4 villains each tied to a different season. So you can replay it and experience a different part of Waterdeep’s holidays/other annual events/etc.

I’ve been hoping for an immersive urban adventure, and this hits that nicely. Also being inspired by heists is a definite bonus. I’m sold! Still disappointed that it’s not a new setting, if they are going to do FR, then this really embraces FR rather just using FR as a generic setting to port...

Well, if he says he's not sexist, racist, or homo/transphobic, then I'm sure there's no problem! *eye roll*

As for the lack of recognition, the two wizards did have their backs to the party while looking out the window until Beau and Yasha approached them. Also, I didn't notice at the time, but I saw it shared on Tumblr, but when Trent's name is dropped just watch Liam. He freezes in mid reach just...

We started watching the first campaign at the same time this one started, and it is interesting. It seems this time the characters are definitely designed more for performing to an audience rather than just D&D characters they wanted to play in a home game. (I was hooked right in the first...

I believe some examples are necessary. In addition to helping potential harassers avoid the edge cases, especially with gross pick-up culture out there, one reason not often mentioned is to help inform the victims. Since sexual harassment has not been taken very seriously for so long, there are...

Well, at least we had a few pages of productive discussion before a troll managed to derail the entire conversation. Pretty textbook case of it and it worked as it always does. *sigh* Anyway... signal boosting Gradine here - conventions need experts. Absolutely, 100%. Properly] handling this...

Once I caught up on the thread, I was just going to recommend a quiz. At the university I work at, to get a parking pass, there's a short 3 question quiz dealing with parking rules and driving safety (i.e. crosswalks, etc.). I can easily see something like that during registration. It doesn't...
