D&D 5E Lets go WotC!!!

[Sword of Spirit]

Oh soon! Well, I am glad that's settled then. If someone had just said soon earlier, none of this would have been an issue.

Exactly! Precision, I say!

I'm guessing by the last week of June at the latest.

And, lest we forget, there is still a (really unimportant) question that some of us would like to have answered:

What was the internal code-name for D&D 5E Next within WotC?

It reportedly starts with an "I." Morrus knows the answer, but he's just not telling (so far).

(The need for the secrecy of the internal code-name won't extend past the launch date, will it?)

October: In order to collect on an obscure dead uncle's fortune, Mike Mearls and Erik Mona must spend a night together in a mansion haunted by E. Gary Gygax's remarkably chill ghost. Monte Cook spies on them from the outside and twirls his moustache with sinister intent while snickering at his loyal canine companion, but he's no match for the clever mystery-solving skills of Ghostgax!

I know everyone likes to think there are massive personal rivalries at stake between the cited folks, but if we did end up in such a house I imagine it would take the four of us about five minutes before we started rolling up OD&D characters for an all-night dungeon crawl.

Ixitxachitl

I've been playing for over 30 years and I still can't pronounce that name.

We just say Ix-ta-lic-a-la-cul (not even close, I know).

I demand nefarious moustache-twirling and ghost fortunes and canine sidekicks! Mona, why do you deny me the only things I've ever asked of you in the name of games and friendship and good times! You're going to make Hannah, or Barbara, or perhaps their hyphenated Voltron form, cry animated tears!

I believe it is called a 'head'.

But should it hurt?

I mean, when I touch it?

I mean, with this burning spike of iron that I keep touching it with?

Doc, is that going to be a problem?

No personal rivalries, eh?

Then who would be the DM?

I love Nahuatl!

eesh-eet-SHOTCH-eet-ul

The easy mistake most people make is throwing in hard K sounds. Those are usually written as Cs and Qs. X is "sh" and the ch is soft. "tl" has no actual English equivalent, but it's kind of like a welsh double L, only starting with the tongue against the roof of the mouth.

FINALLY!!
Jester Rules! I've been trying to get them to add them to the WotC/Sprint FRAMILY testing plan since it started but so far I'm not getting any response.
Glad to see they are finally listening.

5e is going to be the best version since 4e Essentials.

Gygax, obviously. Presumably, the first four minutes would be spent figuring out how to placate his ghost, and then the fifth minute spent doing so.
