[QUOTE="lostsanityreturned, post: 7780985, member: 6911007"] And cannot get it in Australia till september... The wizards store advantage stuff was bad enough (they don't seem to exist over here, regardless of how many AL games are run, MTG tourneys or sales... at least not when I was looking back when volos released) But why? It isn't like WotC needed target's shilling to do this. It would have sold well and not competed for the third quarter adventure sale... -groans- New audience arguments don't work either, as Target would have sold it without it being an exclusive product. Also, DM screens are great. I don't fudge rolls (I have, but it is increeeedddibly rare... single digits still in 15+ years of DMing) I don't roll openly in 5e though, players don't need to know what the rolls are as it becomes way too clear as to the mechanics of foes. Which hinders the roleplay element imo. Giving DMs a choice is always better than going the "BADWRONGFUN" route imo. [/QUOTE]
