    [UPDATED AGAIN!] CURSE OF STRAHD Will Be Available March 15th

    I have no doubt that the art of the cards and whatnot will be new. What I am wondering is if the actual composition of the deck will be the same.

    [UPDATED AGAIN!] CURSE OF STRAHD Will Be Available March 15th

    I still have the tarokka deck that Arthaus put out for third edition. I wonder if the GF9 one will be different.

    Kickstarter Blades in the Dark Kickstarter

    I didn't see it anywhere on here so figured I would start a thread. John Harper (designer behind Lady Blackbird and Ghost Lines) has launched a kickstarter for his new game Blades in the Dark. It's a game focused on running a group of scoundrels and rogues on various scores as they try and raise...

    The Biggest RPG Story of the Year?

    I know that they have licensed a couple of settings in the past (Dragonlance and Ravenloft Specifically), but for this edition I don't see them working out that sort of arrangement again. This is especially true with the way they are valuing the IP itself over the game.

    The Biggest RPG Story of the Year?

    I missed the speculation leading back in to Tabletop. On his podcast Wil was talking about how he was designing the setting, but there were RPG people working on it with him and taking his ideas to translate into mechanics/adventures and such. He didn't want to talk about any more details...

    The Biggest RPG Story of the Year?

    Not sure how many of you are familiar with Wil Wheaton's show on youtube called TableTop, but as part of the kickstarter for the 3rd season there was a stretch goal for an RPG show. On Wil's most recent podcast he spoke about working on said show and that there would be adventures and a world...

    The Official Elemental Evil Announcement

    Not sure if anyone else noticed, but the artwork we have seen associated with the Adventurer's Handbook is being used for the boardgame.

    D&D 5E BAM: Where's 5E??

    The care given to organization really is going to come down to the people working there. I was lucky to work with a bunch of gamers/comic people (with the exception of our store manager) so we generally kept that section in order. As the staff changed and we moved on to other jobs/careers, that...

    D&D 5E BAM: Where's 5E??

    As a former bookseller, I can assure you that many times the book that is going to end up with that coveted cover facing out shelving is entirely based on chance when the person stocking the shelves needs to solve the puzzle caused by new stock that needs to be shelved and old stock being sold...

    D&D 5E Warlock, Pact of the Blade, Melee

    Pact Magic under multiclassing says you can use those slots to cast the other class's spells and the other class's slots to cast Warlock spells. I assumed that would mean you could use those slots to smite, but I just double checked the wording on Smite and now have doubts.

    D&D 5E Warlock, Pact of the Blade, Melee

    Has anyone looked at multiclassing with a Paladin to get smite, which you can then use by burning those quick recovering Warlock spell slots?

    The Ogre Killed the Dwarf in 3 Rounds

    The ogre in our playtest floored the rogue, who was then healed by the dwarven cleric. While the rogue faked being dead the ogre dropped the dwarf and then the rogue again when she tried to get a sneak attack. The ogre then chased the wizard and the human cleric out of the cave. The wizard...

    So the playtest packages coming online tonight at midnight or tomorrow?

    I signed up with a different email than my original wizards account. I then tried to make a new account with the new e-mail address, and tried to submit to get a download link to my original account. Neither effort has provided any succes. I can't even login to send customer support a ticket. If...

    What's your favorite edition of D&D (so far)?

    I went 3.x because without a doubt it is the system that I have gotten the most mileage from. A very close second was AD&D 2nd Ed. It's where I started and I still look back on it fondly. Our 2nd Ed Ravenloft campaign remains my group's quintessential campaign experience. I also enjoyed 4e, but...

    D&D 5E The classes of 5e (now with 90% less speculation)

    I know several players in my gaming group who will squee with joy if an alienist summoner concept is supported by whatever is 5e's version of a starpact warlock.

    D&D 5E The classes of 5e (now with 90% less speculation)

    Pretty sure the name Warlord should be the one to stay since that is what was in the PHB, where as the Marshal (which was amazing fun) was relegated to a supplement that I suspect wasn't a huge seller. For personal preference I would go with the Marshal, but the Warlord version of the idea has...

    Tweet gleanings

    I'm pretty sure the live feed listed Cleric, Fighter, and Wizard as Common classes; Warlock as an Uncommon class; and Assassin as a Rare class. In case the info was not passed on or some such (or I may be mistaken on what was said)

    D&D 5E 5e's name dropped (as in mentioned) classes

    I know that the Rogue is implied/included in the list of classes with the Players Handbook I equivalent. When you think about it that could include Dwarf and Elf too. What I am looking for are classes that have been mentioned by name.
