It would also explain why they want to put a big push on the FLGS as well - to put out more and more DDB exclusives would make us FLGSes angry, but not if we're being given other helpful concessions. And they could collect them into print anthologies later (even, possibly, only collecting the...

Ultimately, most of these things are all about the execution. Dial H for Hero could have been Ben 10, if DC Comics had ever had the vision and the execution.

I mean, you can do both Gladiators and Psionics in the same products?

But he described the shake-up to explain why they waited to announce things (which happened much later) and said that they chose to rearrange the schedule a bit. Things that would have happened more recently than what you're saying, I suspect. My point only being that they may have moved DS...

I disagree. Gladiators can feature in any setting, sure, but Dark Sun's sand makes for big gladiatorial arenas like you seen in both Gladiator movies, Sparticus, and Thor vs Hulk just work... better.

Not sure what you're saying here, other than true facts. I don't disagree with you, I think it works fine for DS. However, the word Champions has been used with Dragon Lance before, and while I think that Lord Soth ad could just be in Ravenloft, it's certainly possible with the reveal that some...

As an aside, the recent discussion of the D&D Schedule "moving around" makes me think that there is a lot of weight behind your idea of Dragonlance replacing Dark Sun for 2026 Q4 and DS waiting until spring 2027. I guess we'll find out at GenCon.

They did that a lot during 4e, and it was great. They could be planning to make "self-made" anthologies. Or perhaps just organize the print books in that fashion, even if they amount to a similar product to the 5e APs - simply making them more explicitly modular.

Team Fusion While Svetlana flew northward, invisible to all eyes but clear in Aywin's mind, Loklafd placed the kayaks in the water. Bjorn used his frog-body to steady them while the others loaded one-by-one and were ferried across to the far shore, a low rocky ledge that scraped along the...

@Lanefan was, I believe, alluding to the idea that social media could better be called "anti-social media".

I don't personally particularly care one way or the other about that, but I wrote it in to make up for you missing it.

I'm happy to be called, though I'm not sure that I have much insight here. I don't quite understand how this chart is compiled and what factors it considers. For my store, we've kickstarted a few things (A5e, Daggerheart, Draw Steel, Shadowdark, Shadow of the Weird Wizard, Nimble, and a few...

I suspect that learning that would let us know a lot more about the story there (and which book it is likely to be in).

That art for Soth isn't unfinished, though. It is simply cropped from whatever the whole picture looks like to use it in the ad.
