This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What's the release schedule for 5e products looking like?

Not even remotely funny. And its 6e, (technically 7e) they are working on if one of their comments had the meaning it could be read to have. Hope that is not true.

Passive perception was one of the cool features of 4e I thought.  It helped smooth out a lot of issues of rollplay/roleplay and player skill/character skill .  Glad to see it made it to 5e.  I'll have to go check on how it was implemented.  

Cheers

Does anybody know what wizards has planed for castle greyhawk this edition. Obviously with the forgoten realms the primary setting now its not as important but i would think that of all things thats the thing they would most want to do in house.
If your having tier problems i feel bad for you son i got 99 problems but caster supremacy aint 1.

Apology\'s if there is no punctuation in the above post its probably my autism making me forget.

Its looks like the next Campaign book or two will be set in Greyhawk. Something about Alice in Wonderland and another about giants.

speaking of alice in wonderland and castle Greyhawk the looking glass was a miror right i think theres a magic portal mirror in the basement  of castle greyhawk somewhere so it may well end up tying into the castle anyway. I doubt it though.

So it looks like the next release will be 'Out of the Abyss', an Underdark adventure scheduled for September 2015.

Menzoberranzan, so another Realms focused module.

QuoteDare to descend into the Underdark in this adventure for the world’s greatest roleplaying game!

The Underdark is a subterranean wonderland, a vast and twisted labyrinth where fear reigns. It is the home of horrific monsters that have never seen the light of day. It is here that the dark elf Gromph Baenre, Archmage of Menzoberranzan, casts a foul spell meant to ignite a magical energy that suffuses the Underdark and tears open portals to the demonic Abyss.

Gaaah! What in the fuck is with the Forgotten Realms and the insipid, dumb, vapid, shitty, shitty names. I swear to fuck that the people who write the Realms novels and D&D supplements have never read any fantasy written before 1991, never read any history, don't actually read any fiction other than D&D tie-ins at all. Ed Greenwood clearly has an awful tin ear for language. But what are the odds that every other person who has written a FR novel of D&D book suffers from the same affliction? There must a style guide somewhere mandating this shit. I have honestly had to change the names of 80 per cent of the locations and 90 per cent of the NPCs in the Realms adventures and guidebooks I've used.

I feel you. One of the reasons I actively avoid the Dalelands and much of the North. One of the useful things I've found from the crap-tastic AdjectiveNoun and NounVerb naming conventions is that at least they convert decently in a translator tool.

But Gromph Baenre of Menzoberranzan is pretty egregious. 'Gromph' defies convention so openly. Sounds more orc than drow. Not even an apostrophe as an excuse.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Its Eds naming convention that has allways put me off the Realms. The whole Word-Word thing gets really old really fast.

And yes. There is a guide for the Realms that writers are supposed to adhere to somewhat. And the world has been mapped heavily so place names are set. Its hard and sometimes disallowed to shoehorn in something new that isnt cleaving to FRs conventions. That has not stopped a few from bucking the system a little or alot.
