    Why OD&D Is Still Relevant

    Yeah, I just ordered the print version. The rules looks really good. OD&D is cool but the rulebook is a mess. I appreciate having the clones to clean it up for me.

    D&D 5E Player's Handbook page quality

    Some of the text appeared a little smudgy to me but my biggest complaint is that the end papers were a little stuck to the first and last pages which caused me to tear a little bit of the first page to get it unstuck. The copy Iin the bookstore I looked at had the same problem. Also, is there...

    Has anyone used and kind of VCS for their campaigns or campaign development?

    No, but it's an interesting idea. Github would seem to be perfect for any sort of collaborative work.

    Adventures in the East Mark (Basic Retro Clone) Kickstarter

    I just got mine yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful. I just wish it came out a couple of years ago. Now it has to compete against 5e for my attention. :erm:

    D&D 5E So, 5e OGL

    The only reason I stayed playing 3e as long as I did was because the ogl allowed 3rd parties to produce the kind of adventures that I wanted. I still find that I have little interest in wotc adventures and plan on converting my old necromancer games modules to 5e. Without an ogl, 5e will be...

    D&D 5E [Merged] D&D Next/5E Release Schedule Threads

    Great news. Now, when will wotc actually tell us about it?

    D&D 5E Art in 5e...?

    Yes, this please. It would be really great if they got some cartoons in the rulebooks. The absolute best thing about the new HackMaster phb was the kodt comic that explained combat. The DCC book has some nice comics as well. Why does D&D have to be so serious?

    D&D 5E Street date for D&D Next Starter Game is July 15

    Their PR dept. is certainly dropping the ball. We shouldn't be learning about new products from third parties like this.

    They should change the name from D&D Next to D&D Forever.

    D&D 5E D&D Next: Let's discuss it's mass multimedia goal.

    See http://www.cardhunter.com/ for how to make a 4e-like turn based game. It's really quite fun.

    D&D 5E D&D Next: Let's discuss it's mass multimedia goal.

    It seems like their biggest problem is that much of the multimedia stuff is out of wotc's hands. The films rights are tied up in court battles and hasbro seems to whore out the video game rights to the lowest bidder every time. 4e was the most video game friendly ruleset D&D has ever seen and...

    D&D 5E Traits, Flaws, and Bonds L&L May 5th

    Looks good to me although I'd prefer the tables to be larger. d12 tables would be better and give the poor d12 something else to do.

    what does Orc+Elf equal?

    It makes a lot of sense doesn't it? The elf half (agile, pretty, and smart) and the orc half (strong, ugly, and dumb) cancel each other out and you basically end up with human stats. Actually this thread made me remember my favorite part elf, part orc, part human character - Makri from the...

    what does Orc+Elf equal?

    ... it's the secret origins of the human race

    D&D 5E Legends & Lore 28.04: Battlesystem! (mass battles rules)

    Because everyone already owns square battle mats. Also, armies look better set up in straight lines.

    D&D 5E Live Q&A with D&D R&D

    eh... don't bother, you're sure to be disappointed. I seriously doubt they tell us anything that we don't already know. They probably just want to hype ToD some more. :yawn:

    Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder outsold D&D by 2:1 in 2013

    What if the reason why wotc has taken so long to produce a new edition is to give time for PF to run its course? PF has been out for what, 5 years now? Don't the sale of books for an rpg really start to flag after that? Or maybe wotc is just dumb and it takes them 3 years to write a game.:hmm:

    D&D 5E Is D&D Next Open?

    The dearth of information on 5e at this point makes me question wotc's competency. It's starting to smell like Gleemax. :erm:

    D&D 5E Tyranny of Dragons Panel at PAX East Today

    Info I'd like to have? How about: Product schedule for the rest of the year. What's happening with Dungeon and Dragon and DDI? Will there be any module that are stand alone or is everything going to be in these adventure paths? What is in the basic set? How long do we have to wait for the FR...
