Ordinarily I'd agree with your sentiment. However, levitation+cantrip is hardly an abuse of rules or power-gaming.

Wizards development philosophy and release schedule is now modeled after a MMORPG: a few DLCs per year (Adventure Paths) and a bit of content patches (splat books). It appears that a large number of their customers are coming to D&D from online gaming/MMORPGs so this model works for them. It's...

It's very similar to the one in 2e's The Illithiad http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/17448/Monstrous-Arcana-The-Illithiad-2e?it=1 Volo's looks like a great book. An interesting combination of lore, player content, and much-needed additional monsters.

3 out of 5 rating for Storm King's Thunder Great background material on the north; individual giant dungeons make great one-shots.

The individual giant lairs/fortresses/dungeons are great for a one-shot adventure. The chapter on the north is outstanding 'fluff.' The breaking of the ordening, the drama with the daughters, indeed the premise of the adventure itself leaves much to be desired.

Elder Brains! Hell yes!

I'm having trouble finding any specific information on the release date for the Loremaster's Guide. The Player's Guide is great.

Hold on a second, I didn't say anything about players. I'm talking about WotC. As for why most people don't play higher level games, part of the answer to that question clearly is that it's not supported!

It's also cynical on the part of WotC to have spells and character progression to level 20 but not support it--either because the game actually breaks past level 10 or they don't think the average consumer is smart enough to run it past level 10.

Simpler times, simpler game....

Wizard spells go all the way to 9th level. They even take up pages in the Player's Handbook. It would be nice for WotC to release something for high levels. It's unlikely given that their release philosophy mirrors a MMORPG where you get two DLCs a year and reroll characters to play them.

I am a big fan o the wiki. However, it lacks a hard back cover and new book smell.

I just finished reading Storm King's Thunder. The background material it contains is superior to that found in Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide, but the information in the latter particularly on deities is great. Our group's regular DM assures me that there is great background material in Out of...

Don't kill them! Have some other bad result that they may perhaps be able to work out of it.

The year: 1982. The scene: Shared bedroom with my brother. Mom and dad enter. "Gather up all your D&D books. You're going flunk out of school if you don't stop spending all your time playing this game. Mrs. Graham said you used all your graph paper to draw castles and maps!" We...

People literally died while waiting for this.

If my DM is sympathetic that just might work...

Glabagool would never betray us.

Given that publications by Wizards are quite limited it is great to see other companies stepping in to fill this gap.
