[QUOTE="Thaumaturge, post: 6304305, member: 1927"] [EDIT to add a touch more info about the source of this] Some tidits from twitter (@boardgamegeek) who attended [URL="http://revista.acdd.com/gamesday/"]ACD Distributions[/URL] 2014 Gamesday. [LIST] [*]Attending a seminar w/ WotC showing off the new D&D volumes; new $20 starter set on July 19, 2014. [*]New emphasis on villainous organizations in the 2014 D&D Monster Manual to match the number of monsters in it. [*]Sidebars in the new DMG help DMs to customize the game to match past editions of D&D. [*]WotC rep: We're focused on D&D right now, but another expansion for Lords of Waterdeep will come at some point. [*]WotC rep: D&D staggered release dates for books is a result of editing; focus on one book at a time. (Says I, ?) [*]WotC rep on what it has that Paizo/Pathfinder doesn't: We can build on the D&D brand through multiple channels to get players to your store. [*]Then the WotC rep hinted at a D&D movie being in the works. Again? [*] (!!!)[B]Approx 15% of the D&D Player's Handbook will be free on WotC site to cover the basics of building characters for those getting Starter Sets.[/B] [EDIT: [MENTION=662]thalmin[/MENTION] mentioned the rules will be for BASIC characters (emphasis from the WotC rep)] [*]@twick516 — he mentioned that you can make the game more tactical or sweeping as desired, so I'm guessing optional rules. [*]D&D Starter Set has 5 pregenerated characters & 64-page adventure that's "the best intro adventure ever". But of course he'd said that... [*]WotC rep: WizKids miniatures to accompany the D&D Starter Set will not be an Alliance exclusive. [*]The back of the PHB [ATTACH=CONFIG]61770._xfImport[/ATTACH] [*]The back of the DMG [ATTACH=CONFIG]61771._xfImport[/ATTACH] [*]The back of the MM [ATTACH=CONFIG]61772._xfImport[/ATTACH] [*]Back of the Starter Set [ATTACH=CONFIG]61773._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/LIST] Ok, guys. 15% of the PHB free on the WotC site. That's pretty cool. Right? Thaumaturge. [/QUOTE]
