I would love to see a new Birthright book. It was an amazing setting that come out in the last days of old TSR. I would give to it a new chance. There is a lot of potential in it. Also for the domain managment and for the massive battles.

I add something. Some of us maybe don't want the D&D team loose time for any crossover with a game that we don't like. I am against any game you have to pay for win. So, in my opinion D&D should stop any interaction with magic. The magic settings are just a waste of time. I would prefer a new...

None, nevermore.

The already mentioned Kingmaker and Curse of Strahd (the second is more simple to run in my opinion)

We finished Curse of Strahd about one year ago. Now playing Brancalonia but we will play Tomb of Annihilation soon (this autumn I guess).

Now I understand better what you mean, thanks. In fact I think the erosion of trust or at least how much one appreciates a certain product is very subjective. Your list in message #58 is somewhat similar to mine but somewhat different. Precisely for subjective issues of personal stories and...

I also think the same. After the catastrophe of 4E they recovered well with the development, play testing and release of 5E, showing that they have learned (at least in part) from the mistakes they made before. Today it seems that they just don't understand what is going on and why they can't...

The real question I think now is: will WoC learn from this and try to fix it, or will they pretend to listen to the fans and still try to pursue the exact same goals?

Interestingly, your list of criticisms is partly coincident and partly very different from mine and I think that: 1) it is normal (we are different people, of different ages and live in different countries) and 2) therein lies the point. In different ways, many fans were a bit unhappy about...

I have it! :)

At that time for me it was the begin of my personal erosion of trust. They promised something (old settings) and released something completely different. Then other issues in the quality of other releases and now this OGL scandal. You quoted one post of mine without considering the previous one...

If they had released Planescape and maybe Dark Sun (and psionics) and THEN Ravnica no one would have objected.

I find myself in complete agreement with the analysis. If I think about some of the complaints of the last period I seem to see just that (Ravenloft nice but very sweetened, the manuals with crossovers with Magic to the detriment of what the fan base has been asking for years, i.e. the settings...

My gaming resolution is to finish the preparation of a new campaing for my players. I am studying Tomb of Annihilation plus all the other stuff for this adventure. After our current Brancalonia campaing we will go to play with dinosaurs :)

Wow!!! You made my day :D

At our table my players decided spontanously to provide to me only the bonus on a certain dice roll and I make the roll behind the screen. OK, if it is an Athletic roll they roll the dice, but for a buff, a pick pocket or so on I make the throw and this add a lot of mistery to the game (I...

My two cents in two comments: 1) Tolkien was very careful about the time required to carry out a journey. In the series very long journeys take place within a very short time. 2) Numenor's ships that look small but carry dozens and dozens of soldiers/horses. Although I enjoyed the series in...

Gollum throws the Ring into the Cracks of Doom (along with himself) after a fight with Frodo.

Something like that and using a blood powers list adapted from the original Birthright setting.
