    D&D 5E (2024) Where Are All The New Books In 2026 (D&Dfans article)

    Sure, sure... 'Evidence'... :ROFLMAO: If every management shakeup would collapse your plans for the complete next year, businesses would be in trouble and WotC would not have survived for so long. What's having a far bigger impact is probably the US tariff shenanigans, at the end of 2024...

    D&D 5E (2024) Unconfirmed Dark Sun World Book

    I actively disliked the Planescape one, the Eberron one I found dense in a bad way, and the previous FR books were Meh!(tm) at best. Only the newest FR duo did a good job imho, not that I liked everything, but it was a well organized, but still dense book, with lots of easily accessible...

    Kickstarter Bloatware

    Depends on the patches, I spend WAY too much money on the Battletech patches, pins, and dice sets. Stickers and post cards are generally very cheap and easy to produce and won't delay the KS delivery much or at all. It still gives the feeling to most people that they are getting 'more' for...

    D&D 3.x [Let's Read] The Frank & K Tomes

    That was never proven or admitted, they mixed company and private funds, something that happens often with small companies. And don't get me wrong, CGL has had 'issues' paying their freelancers since that drama as well. CGL isn't a good company to work for imho. But so are so many other small...

    D&D 3.x [Let's Read] The Frank & K Tomes

    Mr Trollman did work in the RPG industry on Shadowrun, two books as far as I can tell (2006&2007) and CGL really regretted hiring him... Mr Trollman created a LOT of drama in 2010 for CGL and the SR community. No one ever repeated that mistake... ;)

    James Ohlen Shifts From Archetype Entertainment Head to Creative Consultant for Tabletop RPGs at Wizards

    The title says "...Archetype Entertainment Head...". A writer might be done, a designer might not be. 1-2+ years before release is a bit long for just polishing imho.

    D&D General You Were Rolling Up a New Character, and Just Rolled a 3. What Is Your Reaction?

    It's going into anything but INT... Putting it in DEX or WIS could be hilarious!

    Spoilers The War Between the Land and the Sea (spoilers)

    There That was no terrorist attack, they just returned to sender a lot of stuff, all at once. The terrorist attack was the humans delivering an exploding ball by suicide bomber... It was obvious from the start of the first episode that this was related to the Dr. Who IP (the mention of UNIT in...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Sells Over 20 Million Copies

    The increase in population is about 35% over 25 years. Global PC sales have about doubled over the same 25 years. And the shift in 'nerd' culture has been going on for a LOT longer then a decade. The highest number in there is just double the PC sales in a quarter century, while the difference...

    D&D General Baldur's Gate 3 Sells Over 20 Million Copies

    Let's talk context: BG2 did 2 million sales in five years, BG3 did 20 million sales in two years. When you want to make a game that's not a niche within a niche, like most D&D computer games, you need to use a similar target audience as other successful computer games. Like Cyberpunk 2077, The...

    D&D General Eberron: What Existing Studio Would You Want To Make A Game (+)

    Deadfire is old, 2018, Just before the acquisition by Microsoft. These days Obsidian is all about games like Grounded, The Outer Worlds, Pentiment, and Avowed. Many of the great studios of the past are no longer what they were, the people that made them great at that time either moved on or changed.

    D&D General Eberron: What Existing Studio Would You Want To Make A Game (+)

    Eberron already has two computer games to it's name: Dragonshard (2005), an RTS. D&D Online (DDO, 2006), an MMO. It's first name was Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach, later it was renamed to Dungeons & Dragons Online: Eberron Unlimited and when they added FR content it got it's current...

    D&D General A Rant: DMing is not hard.

    Anything is hard when you haven't done that before. Be that DMing, making a bookcase, riding a bike, etc. And while you can try learning by just diving into the deep end with zero prep, that is probably not going to be fun for anyone involved. You need to prep, what tools you need, how to use...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Warlock Video Game Announced by Invoke Studios

    You can use iconics in a video game about a D&D Warlock, the spells it can cast, the attacks it can make, the powers it has, the choices it can make. The monsters it encounters. The trailer has a Beholder for example. Trailer: The trailer looks pretty, nice effects, but nothing about actual...

    Wizards of the Coast Releases Exodus TTRPG

    The trailer looks interesting. But they've been at it for almost 7 years at this point, when it releases at least 8 years, if it's not pushed back even further. Four months ago the release date was still 2026, now it's already 2027. With WotC/Hasbro it wouldn't surprise me at all if we hear next...

    Will there ever be new editions of the major systems?

    The owner of a 'thing' can only suggest what others will call their 'thing'. Your can call your 'thing' xyz and people can still call it Tiny or far less positive names. It might be rude, but there's no stopping people calling your 'thing' whatever they want... ;)

    Will there ever be new editions of the major systems?

    My friends don't even know DH exists. No, I was talking about folks here and other social media that were previously very pro DH, they did some excusing during the beta, but backpedaled hard after the official release. What I'm also more hinting at is that something like Draw Steel is doing...
