    D&D 5E (2014) GenCon: is Goodman Games's Keep on the Borderlands there??

    I emailed WotC customer service and asked them about this release--it shows "December 2017" as the release date on the WotC page. I received this response today: A bit disappointing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Substituting Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan for Orolnga [ToA spoilers]

    My copy of Tales from the Yawning Portal is collecting dust and I've just started DMing a Tomb of Annihilation campaign. I'm considering substituting the Shrine of Tamoachan for the Orolanga encounter. Obviously this would make the encounter substantially longer, but as I think it would work...

    D&D 5E (2014) That’s a lot of charcoal! Find Familiar problem

    I think you got off easy. The DM could have required the brass brazier. I have a few of these in my house and they are awkward.

    The Actual Table of Contents for Xanathar's Guide to Everything

    At only three books a year I would appreciate it if WotC was more ambitious with its releases. They should call this "UA's revised guide to subclasses"

    D&D 5E (2014) GenCon: is Goodman Games's Keep on the Borderlands there??

    The original announcement stated that Goodman Games expected to have the deluxe hardcover of their Keep on the Borderlands at GenCon. Does anyone know if it's there? http://goodman-games.com/blog/2017/03/26/classic-dd-module-collectors-editions/

    The Dead Wedding, a short level 14-16 adventure [DM's Guild]

    I just put up a short, high level adventure on the DM's Guild. It's got some clever traps (if I do say so myself) and RP hooks that should let high level PCs showcase some non-combat abilities. The wedding was meant to unite poweful families from Everlund and Silverymoon. "Til death do us...

    D&D 5E (2014) The FBI's file on Gary Gygax has been obtained via a FOIA request

    The journalist C.J. Ciaramella has a fascinating piece on the FBI's Gary Gygax file. Ciaramella obtained it via a FOIA request. You can read the article below which has a link to the actual file. A few quotes from the FBI: "[name redacted] advised that war gamers are generally extremely...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC ever going to release something high level? Even as UA test material?

    High level adventures are like Bugattis; one to eleven adventures are reliable VW Golfs. Both cars are made by Volkswagen; the Golf makes money whereas VW loses money on Veyrons. So why does VW even make the Bugatti? In the case of a Bugatti, it's about marketing and the brand. Ok, so...

    D&D 5E (2014) Why Greyhawk is Loved

    For me Greyhawk was the ultimate sandbox setting. Our group spent hours pouring over the map identifying spots where our level 9 characters could build a keep.

    Official D&D Character Sheets Coming In June

    I don't think they'll be in local shops until next week (20th is scheduled release date). I can't wait to get my hands on them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC ever going to release something high level? Even as UA test material?

    Zardnaar, have you had a chance to play any of the high level ones in a group? Whether you've played them or not, what do you think about them? Also: confession, I live in Ireland and getting Kobold, Goodman, or Froggod shipped here is pricey and because I'm an old man I despise .PDFs. For...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC ever going to release something high level? Even as UA test material?

    Would they lose money though? I suppose there's only one way to find out. To be honest, although I'd prefer a WotC contribution to 14+ level play, I'd gladly give my money to Goodman Games (how soon can I pre-order their Keep on the Border Lands book?) or Kobold Games if they put out something...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC ever going to release something high level? Even as UA test material?

    High level adventures will sell less than the 1-11 hardbacks. That is a given. Two unrelated questions: 1) Will they nevertheless be profitable? and 2) should WotC feel obligated to support its game across the whole range of levels for which it is ostensibly designed?

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC ever going to release something high level? Even as UA test material?

    Well, you're like our group then. I'm not sure why you haven't reached 14th level yet. Using milestone progression you should be able to get to 14th level if you just go through a single hardback AP. As I mentioned, our group did the Tiamat campaign in a year. We finished with five 14th...

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC ever going to release something high level? Even as UA test material?

    How often do you get to play? My group plays once every three weeks or so. It took us over a year to finish the Tiamat campaign. The DM bastardized subsequent APs so we could get through them in six months or so.

    D&D 5E (2014) Is WotC ever going to release something high level? Even as UA test material?

    Let me preface my comments by stating that I am an unapologetic 5th ediciton fanboi. It's a fantastic edition and I buy everything WotC releases for it. However, it's because of my support for and loyalty to 5th edition that I am now starting to feel a little bit aggrieved. I've been...
