    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Based on the hundreds of thread pages in hundreds of threads of people caterwauling about the most ridiculous things regarding this game... I can only say that that'd probably be a good thing. You can only read a "Psionics shouldn't have components!" thread or a thread arguing about the...

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    People should stop wasting their own time if you ask me, LOL! One either likes the brand or they don't. Hoping for, or trying to change a brand into what one likes is silly.

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Ding! Which is why I have no idea why people are so dead-set on wanting D&D to be this singular, tightly-focused game of theirs. Why D&D and not any other game? What's wrong with all the other hundreds of RPGs out there? Why does it have to be D&D? Because it's the ubiquitous one? The one...

    Well, then they don't have to bother after all then!

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Sure! Just gotta hope that whatever Luke ends up writing gets through the editorial process without getting things changed to a more modern paradigm. One can hope, right? :D

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Yeah... or the few people who are tied to having these settings exactly as they were the first time can just use the old books they already own, rather than worrying about the new version that gets released that changed a few things. Either or. :)

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    I suspect their desire to change pre-existing settings is because a lot of the stuff in those settings is 1970s and early 80s cultural design baggage and baloney. :)

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    A starting area is not a campaign setting (at least not as I expect Reynard is thinking it as.) Making a generic starting area is one thing and certainly doable... but a whole entire world is something much different.

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    I feel that a new setting is one of the most time and labor-intensive design projects there is. Having to design an entirely new world and make it a cohesive whole is not something you can just pass off casually to a bunch of other freelance writers like you can an adventure anthology. You need...

    Sunday Nonsense: Which TTRPG Systems Survive

    I voted for two (5E and FATE), as my third choice would have been the Roll & Keep system from AEG's 7th Sea and the Legend of the Five Rings.

    Dungeons & Dragons Will Announce New Products at Gen Con, Modules Returning to Game

    Fine (general person). Don't do anything. But don't then complain (general person) that WotC isn't doing anything either. If you (general person) can't be bothered... there's no reason to think WotC should be. (I realize of course, @Artamo, that you weren't one of the people complaining that...

    D&D General Weird "DnD Is Dead" Youtube Trend??

    People have been hooked on rage clicks since the very beginning. And apparently your YouTube algorithm has decided you are one of those rage clickers and that's why they are linking those videos to you. From the minor bits of YouTube futzing I have heard over the years... if you write a couple...

    Dungeons & Dragons Will Announce New Products at Gen Con, Modules Returning to Game

    If we don't put DMs Guild sales being an indicator of demand, then what do we use? WotC's not going to just produce an anthology of Eberron-specific or Ravenloft-specific modules in a hardcover "Candlekeep Mysteries" type of book just on a whim. Just in the hopes that there are enough Eberron...

    Dungeons & Dragons Will Announce New Products at Gen Con, Modules Returning to Game

    How are Eberron modules on DMs Guild selling? I would no doubt expect WotC knows how sales are for Eberron products made by 3rd parties are doing there. And if so-called "fans of Eberron" aren't supporting Eberron products on DMs Guild in any appreciable number... it would not be surprising at...

    Melf's Guide to Greyhawk Cover by Jeff Easley Revealed at Gary Con

    When Ed and Keith make DMs Guild products for Faerun and Eberron, they can do whatever they want with them and write and design them to their own desires. When Penny Arcade moved their Acq Inc. product and Critical Role moved their two Exandria products over to be published by WotC... they most...

    D&D General Past and Future of D&D at GaryCon, w Dan Ayoub and Luke Gygax

    Is the book an actual WotC-published setting book, or is it going to be a DMs Guild publication for Luke (like the Bandit Kingdoms and upcoming Dalelands products were/are for Ed?)

    D&D General Favorite builds for noobs?

    True, but my real point is that if you build a character to the scenario and background of the campaign, the class and species will sort themselves out. If the scenario given by the DM for the game is "guards protecting a caravan heading to an elven enclave"... it won't do a whole lot of good...

    D&D General Help with Names for Custom Feats Related to Ability Scores

    I could come up with some good adjectives for them, but nouns were harder when trying to keep the same initial letter. Strongman or Stalwart (Strength) Dynamo (Dexterity) Conditioner (Constitution) Inventor (Intelligent) Wiseman (Wisdom) Charmer (Charisma)

    WotC WotC Winter 2026 D&D Community Survey

    Are you kidding? The "community" can't agree on a gosh-darned thing. There would be zero things the "community" could assist with that would improve anything the designers make. After all... you got all kinds of players who only see D&D as a miniatures combat game and want every ability...
