SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Languages can be a problem. That's why everyone, regardless of where they are in the universe, speak English in Star Trek.  Why? Because people don't like subtitles.

In a fantasy world, I don't see any reason why the Gods could not have all creatures speak the same tongue if that is the kind of game world you want.

However, in D&D I like to name Common as the main language of the local empire, AKA Latin for Roman and neighbors of Rome.

Quote from: Exploderwizard;749078I have never hoped that I was wrong about a product more than this one.

I've had personal assurances from the highest levels that this box set will be more than just crippleware.

Mind you, that may not mean anything, I don't know for sure.  I have not yet seen the final product with my own eyes.

Quote from: Saplatt;749826Can someone explain to me how "Tyranny of Dragons" fits into all of this?

Ok, according to the information on Amazon today. Its a two part adventure set in the Forgotten Realms. The adventure design and development by Kobold Press, and it will tie into D&D Encounters, but its not part of it.

There seems to be a set of miniatures by WizKids to go along with it too.

As I mentioned in other places, I thought I should clarify: I still haven't seen the whole of the starter set; but the information I have now received (unless I'm being intentionally and blatantly deceived) has led me to conclude that the starter set will be very worthwhile.
