Hi folks!

Over in the Israeli D&D a community site we posted an interview with Mike, it's in English so I thought that you fine folks will enjoy it.

Thanks, man!

I found this part particularly exciting

We're looking at two storylines a year. Right now, we have plans laid down for stories up through 2018.

I hope they deliver!

 

[Boarstorm]

Cool. Thanks for sharing!

 

[Omega9999]

up to 2018? INTERESTING!

 

[TarionzCousin]

13. There is a rumor that WoTC R&D team is secretly controlled by Illithids, do you have a statement on that regard?

That's completely crazy. Why would anyone believe that? Mind flayers are clearly not real, and if they were they wouldn't be plotting to rule the world.

Whew. That's a relief to know.

up to 2018? INTERESTING!

yea 2 a year, 2015, 2016,2017,2018 so they have 8 in mind already... we know elder elemental evil... so 7 to guess at

I would hope a gothic horror in ravenloft (maybe something on orient express if not the castle itself)
I think a Darksun run between 2 or 3 Dragon king cities
Maybe a dragonlance thing
I would LOVE Spell Jammer and birthright...


OH I totally hope Birthright right after they get the battle system up and running for hot kingdom on kingdom action

"Magic-user"? Seriously?

I'm very glad he did not get his way on that. I thought it was stupid in my BECMI and AD&D days, and I would have thought it was stupid in the present.

Along with the Sword-user, Prayer-user, and Climb Walls-user

I'm the reverse. I love a bit of idiosyncrasy. I'd have been delighted if they'd used that.
