New D&D Boardgame

Greyhawk is the ONLY setting for me and my crew. I've always hated Forgotten Realms... but that's the beauty of D&D, you can do whatever the fuck you want.

Doesn't that "honor" belong to Tomb of Horrors?

Anyway, yes for sure. I have the first two and just broke out Ravenloft again last weekend to much pleasure.

Yep. I'm running my son through old 1st e modules brought up to 3.0 (I like it,fuck you). Instead of the FR, I'm using the backdrop from the Knights of Legend PC game, including kitbashed monsters from it.

Looks like part of my tax return just got spoken for.

I really don't play these games as much as I'd like already, but I don't even care. I want a shelf full of D&D games.

FYI:

Here's my press release:

So this game is going to be printed by WizKids. Did I get that right? I question how effective that will be for seamlessly integrating the game with the other three.

I question how effective that will be in terms of quality and quality control in general. Truly, for a company whose bread-and-butter is (probably) in miniatures, their work is often of shod.

It's being printed by Wizards/Hasbro, but the miniatures are being printed by Wizkids, I believe.

Imagine, if you will, wizkids' paper thin tiles for a D&DAS game.

The first three games were firmly adapted from 4th edition what with the PC powers (at will, dailies, etc.). I wonder if this one will integrate as seamlessly in the range, considering they just released a pretty different version of D&D.

Also: Dark Sun. That is all.
