    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    Ahh, the eternal question. The eternal answer: Does it matter?

    D&D 5E (2024) Predict WotC's 2026 D&D releases

    All of this will be moot once 3I/ATLAS brings D&D 6E.

    D&D General Initial Thoughts on the Two 2025 Forgotten Realms books

    I just skimmed them on my lunch break. I was planning on buying them because I love setting books, even though I haven't been playing of late and haven't run the Realms, but after looking at them, decided not to. I might change my mind, but in the end I just wasn't wowed. They're nice books, but...

    D&D General Forgotten Realms Books Tables of Contents

    Looks good. For someone wanting just the setting stuff, it is a bit annoying that it is spread across two books. For instance, it seems that the world overview is in the player's book, as well as factions, gods, etc. Would have liked a sharper bifurcation, though of DM/setting and...

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    OK, fair enough...but it gets tricky. Star Trek 2-4 can be viewed as a trilogy within a series, for example. And some have skipped films to include the ones they like and exclude the ones they don't. Indiana Jones isn't really a trilogy, as the films don't have much in connection with each...

    Your top 5 movie trilogies of all time, and why?

    I think "film franchise" works better, as few films are envisioned as part of a trilogy. It also allows you to consider films as a whole and not artificially excise three films from larger series'.

    D&D General What are the boundaries of what counts as part ot Forgotten Realms?

    I understand why they did it, but I wish WotC would remove Kara-Tur, Zakhara, Maztica, and even the Horde lands from the FR...go back to the Greenwood version then either leave the rest unknown/implied, or build out a bit from there. You could even take it as an opportunity to fully re-design...

    Tell me about VtM when it started

    I didn't play it, but lived in Burlington VT in the mid-90s. I knew a guy who was a barista at a large now-defunct coffee shop (Samsara) who ran a Vampire LARP from the coffee shop. IIRC, he told me there were 50+ people involved (or maybe 150! I just remember "fifty" being part of the...

    Streaming services, which do you have or are you getting rid of?

    I'm thinking of getting rid of Peacock. I held onto it because it is so cheap, but damn, the commercials are out of control. I still think Apple is the "new HBO": the best overall quality, but with limited output. That is, Apple in 2025 is sort of like HBO in 2010. It even has its "must-watch...

    So what's the deal with solo gaming?

    From a thread in Geek Media, I've idly been considering giving solo gaming a shot. I don't really have the time or interest to join or start a gaming group, but I have fond memories of late nights win the 80s and maybe 90s of running myself through the Random Dungeon Generator of the 1E DMG...

    I think it is time for a break.

    My story is vaguely similar to @Dannyalcatraz. For me, though, gaming has always been a fluctuation in interest and whether I'm actively playing or not. Since I started playing in the early 80s, I would go through a few years of an active campaign, then a few years where I wasn't playing, but...

    D&D General How Much D&D Stuff Is There Anyway? Part 1: Editions

    Wow - impressive work, @Echohawk . Without having read the entire thread, I'm wondering if this question has been asked: How much would it cost now, in 2025, to collect every official product ever published? Meaning, If it would have cost $23,000 to collect from 1974-2025, how much would it...
