That poor Edge of Empire Starter Set. The only item on your shelf I don't think I've seen before was that Star Trek RPG box set. I've seen the books, but never knew they had a box set for the Star Trek RPG. It may be that I really didn't start being interested as much in Star Trek (extras...

What, we just forgot about Theros Ironfeld?

The party in Dragonlance are from all over though. They aren't even from the same region, much less the same village. They are a motley crew of adventurers that have been gathered to Solace, but their origins are from all over.

Maybe not alone, but it helps people to relate to the cast. A broader representation which brings in multiple ethnicities and races makes more people relate to a cast than simply a monochrome approach. For example, I, as a PoC, would love to see Caramon and Raistlin as PoC's. Why not? I...

So good to know that when I was younger and climbing mountains...somehow I avoided the 5e rule that I would fall off the mountain rather often, only being able to climb to a point where I'd fall and lose 1d6 (at least) HP of damage. I mean...who would imagine that I would have the super power...

If we are going to change the ethnicities of Characters from Dragonlance I propose the following... Caramon and Raistlin are Black. I relate more to these guys anyways, so make it so. Goldmoon and Riverwind probably could be Native American? Or make them Scandinavian Barbarians/Vikings...

On numbers, the general rule I've been told is to take the number of Players stated and divide that by 5. Hence, it is generaly 1 PHB per 5 players as an estimate. This is one reason early on I questioned some of the numbers WotC/Hasbro were releasing (and for a while, they cut back on the PR...

Maybe, I don't know. I have no idea why they would be pushing that D&D anniversary is a failure. Financially, it was obvious it would boost sales in the short term. Maybe they are looking at it more in the 4e way? 4e sold faster than D&D 3e or 3.5 at first, and some would say it was the...

I think what they mean is that their words on D&D do not really mean anything. For example, I knew before the Core books were even released that they would boost Hasbro Sales of D&D for at least the next. year (I believe if you look far enough back you can even see my predictions on it in these...

The one that is absolutely necessary beyond the 3e FRCS is the Grand History of the Realms. One of the best Lore books for the Realms ever released (after being compiled on the web...of course).

Has Tasha Yar in it... Makes it a must see movie just for that (though the movie itself doesn't exactly scream...top 5...).

I'm not sure I follow your logic on this one...

I didn't really care for Lords of Waterdeep. It's a worker placement game and I thought it was not as good as other worker placement games such as Agricola or Caylus. When given the choice, I'd choose the latter two any day over LoWD. However, I know many really enjoyed LoWD.

Rover Boys used to be everywhere. Now... It's pretty obscure. Obscure can just mean that you are getting older, and things that were everywhere when you were younger...are now "obscure" for the modern day individual.

I always felt it was more like Comics... You have your Golden Age, then your Silver Age, then your Bronze Age...etc. In that light, I'd say the Golden Age of RPGs was 1976 -1999 with the specific Golden Portion being more between 1981 - 1984...perhaps expandable of 1980 - 1986. The most...

Well, if you include Planescape and Spelljammer as official...then it really is one BIG SAGA. They all happen in the same...universe/multiverse. Well, as big a Saga as Marvel Comics, or DC comics, or Xanth (series of books), or any other interconnected world with different stories and...

Are we talking about WFRP 4e (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e)? I'm not so certain that version has flatter math. (same would go for the new 40K versions). The older versions of Warhammer only let you go up to 100 in general (though that meant, 100% which is pretty darn good) as a maximum...

They do have a lot invested in Beyond. Enough that when sales start falling a good money maker is to force people to change (sort of like Windows does, or other things in that arena. The CEO of Hasbro is well familiar with that type of forced change and it's benefits). Whether that will...

I wouldn't be so sure on that one. I'd say they are probably developing 6e even as we speak, and there are some pretty major changes with it akin to the bigger changes that have followed all of WotC's different D&D editions.

Until they do away with it and then for some reason, you'll have everyone saying that they always hated it. Funny thing with things like this...people always say they love it...until they don't and never did. That aside though, this forum is a very anecdotal place. If we went by the forum...
