D&D 5e Basic will be a free pdf (as well as a normal product)

News release is HERE. I really didn't expect WotC to release the Basic Set as a free pdf. This was a very, very smart move on their part! I'll still probably buy the real set, as I'm not big on gaming with just a pdf, but this will allow anyone who wants to to read the rules and learn how to play. This is pretty much the smartest move they could have made.

Dungeons & Dragons 5e Product Line announced

The big news is here in the Escapist: http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/134601-Dungeons-Dragons-Unveils-Full-Product-Line-Release-Dates-and-Details-Update. Only TWO months away! I really didn't expect it so soon. This is great news for tabletop gaming, and I really hope that WotC produces a fantastic game.

It's pretty cool that they are going to use Kobold Quarterly to publish the first available adventures. This could get very interesting if other companies can go through official channels to release products.
