Mearls should get fired from WotC and hired by the ADB guys at the rank of "private" or better yet "able seam

if WotC taught the Magic design team how to play D&D they'd churn out a better product in 18 months

I'm serious this is a thing. Does anyone remember those plot-coupon booster packs some bright spark tried to shove into 4E near the end of its run. They were encounters-legal. That was a magical time to be alive. Splicer fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Apr 27, 2014 |

Skylanders generated 1 BILLION dollars of revenue for Activision, and the Disney Infiniti and Dreamwork's whateverthefuck are hopping on to the bandwagon to catch the money. While Hasbro's game division (they don't quote Mtg specifically in their QFR) dropped 4% in the last year. but sure, no I'm crazy and magic has nothing to worry about as a billion plus in youth-oriented action figure gaming industry sets up in the next toy aisle over

"You’re not forced to run 5 encounters per day." So have they fixed the 5 minute workday in relation to vancian casting? "Balance on its own is an illusion without the DM." Err wat? I could never understand Mearlsian. "Basic DDN will be as Complex as the Rules Encyclopedia" Interesting how they call it Basic DDN. Perhaps they may release a basic and advanced DDN? Not much talked about in the way of the fabled modules. I hope those aren't just sidebars in the DMG or they just expect people to ignore rules to change the game. I dunno, it just feels to me that the main thing going for DDN is nostalgia. It just seems like MM has re-released 3e and given it a new coat of paint. In other news, the latest L&L talks about mass combat rules: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/4ll/20140428 Latest Q&A, Confirming CR is back for encounter building: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/Article.aspx?x=dnd/dndqa/20140425

D&D Next Q&A posted:It’s also worth noting that, because you use the monsters’ XP value, not their CR, when gauging the difficulty of encounters and adventures, the actual CR value is of little significance beyond being a relative gauge of power among all monsters. So, what does CR do exactly?

Of everything in Next, this is what consistently stands out to me: how much time has been spent to produce so very little. The BATTLESYSTEM is "it's the core rules but WAY more finicky, also hah hah enjoy one character getting ten rounds to your every one round if they fight another Solo."
