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.

Whenever Mike Mearls announced on Twitter "...a few exciting things for 2015", I don't believe anyone would have seen this coming.

It may spell some interesting things for the Pathfinder setting. How they intend to collapse all "3.75" edition crunch into 5th edition D&D will be a strange, wonderful experiment:

http://dnd.wizards.com/ and http://paizo.com/
No thanks.

Didn't even click...although, Paizo buying a stake in Frog God or something would have been fairly plausible.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

I admit, you got me.
Although, I should have remembered what date it is, and I was technically "saved" by the fact that I don't use adblock.
:D
I may not dislike D&D any longer, but I still dislike the Chaos-Lawful/Evil-Good alignment system, as well as the level system.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

And yes, I can confirm that both links are the same, and leads to a Rick Roll.

Good one! I wasn't fooled as the tech industry online abuses April Fool's to the point that its not funny.

Another good one might also be "Lorraine Williams Becomes CEO of Paizo"...

I had vaguely considered doing an April Fools joke where I'd hint I'd been hired as a consultant on the Blue Rose kickstarter; but I decided it just wasn't worth attempting.

No one would have believed you'd be consulting for Blue Rose. An April Fools joke needs to be at least momentarily plausible. You know something like:
QuoteNo-one would have believed, in the early years of the twenty-first century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space. No-one could have dreamed that we were being scrutinized, as someone with a microscope studies creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. Few men even considered the possibility of life on other planets. And yet, across the gulf of space, minds immeasurably superior to ours regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely, they drew their plans against us..."

Well exactly, that's why I didn't bother.
