1) It's the campaign setting of a new generation of D&D players who grew up watching celebrities play D&D on stream. 2) Green Ronin published one of the continents in the setting.

Again, it depends on how large a market Diamond is vs. the costs of Paizo, both of which are info we don't have. The problem with Diamond sales is that its market are comic book stores and some specialty stores. It's a step in the right direction for Paizo that they dominate these charts, but...

Not necessarily. It means P2 commands presumably a large chunk of a small pie. Now whether that small pie is profitable/popular enough...

I want to be wrong :)

Definitely. :) Just wanted to hop on the "OK, Boomer" meme since the arguments for that meme apply here. I think it's thing to say that the campaign setting isn't for you (it definitely isn't for me... but I'm getting old and not the type of person who watches RPGs played on streams), but it's...

Don't hold your breath on Dragonlance. Like what Aebir-Toril said, it's unlikely that Dragonlance is going to be revived anytime soon. I like Dragonlance as a fiction line, but honestly it's a horrible gaming line (or rather, it doesn't make a lot of sense as a gaming line). The reason you...

You don't like the trend that D&D is appealing to a new generation of gamers instead of boomers?

That D&D-themed Renault commercial in Brazil that we mentioned a few days ago has now arrived in full! And not only does it feature the cartoon heroes in full action mode, it also stars TIAMAT! Plus Uni the unicorn and VENGER! Lucily, the Dungeon Master shows up in a Renault to save them...

In general, China has guidelines on certain tropes/themes that are banned from the country. The concept of banning something is not inherently wrong--Germany bans Nazi iconography for example--but specific applications of censorship (since this is being performed by the government) are open to...

Some points I'd like to mention: * 4E Dragon is theoretically more playtested than 3E Dragon magazine (which is probably why there's more "previews" than content that won't be reprinted anywhere else). * Some people find value in previews, or getting content ahead of time. * 4E has a format...

Strikers: Actually, Rangers are in the top tier when it comes to strikers, mostly in conjunction with their two attacks (i.e. Twin Strike) and weapon damage (implement users are on the bottom end for that reason as fixed die damage seldom compares with one-handed d12 weapons). I'd probably...

I'd just like to clarify that yes, Ingram is one of the bigger book distributors out there but they're not the only one. If you're a comic or a gaming shop for example, it's most likely that your distributor is Diamond rather than Ingram. Whether your comic store of gaming store is capable of...

I suggest a petition first. And then if that fails, a petition w/ a stated boycott (remember, a boycott only works if the company knows why people are boycotting their products, instead of, say, regular market forces dwindling their sales). Either way, for me boycotts should be a last resort...
