The X-wing/EotE lines being FFG's most successful isn't too surprising. I am surprised that Descent 2e outsold the 1e version in one year, though.

Thanks for the Twitter hookup!

With all the respect to the Realms, Greenwood, the fans, etc... please, not another Realms product. It seems that there is nothing except Realms in their mind regarding 5e. I respect Realms but never inspired me and never been the thing that I wanted to play.

Was Tiamat banished to the Nine Hells in 4e? Because as far I know she lives there voluntarily.

Both in the Great Wheel and the imposed 4e cosmology in 4e FR:

Resurrect Tiamat? She was never dead...

And bring her back from the 9 Hells? She has always been there voluntarily...
