Huh! I forgot there was going to be a Core Set after M15. Cool.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

There's also a new artwork for evil planeswalker Liliana, so there's some speculation there could be a transformation mechanic (double faced cards?) to represent them gaining their "spark".

From what I've read, WotC plans to put out less frequent but more high-quality splats for 5e. In the meantime, they're also running a monthly feature on their website called "Unearthed Arcana" where they release preliminary supplement material for free. The material is supposed to be like the earlier playtest material, meaning it's not final and will probably change according to player input, but it will do well enough for now.

They've already released the first update, and it's for Eberron stuff. (Not a huge surprise, since, if I recall correctly, Mike Mearls is a big fan of the setting.)

Also, I realized I should probably post this to the Tabletop Games Thread, too.

Do they plan to continue snubbing Spelljammer, Dragonlance amd Dark Sun?

I like Eberron, but I like those too.

It would really cool to see them come back. With their current course seeming to be focusing on prepublished adventures, they might return.

Can confirm, was quite fun. As are lying and mental tricks.

How casual are you thinking?
On a scale from Cards against, to full DnD.

Let's say 3 is munchkins and 7 is settlers of Catan.

Edit: Ah, why'm I asking, I'm just gonna Reccommend one of the recent lovecraftian games.

So if D&D is 10, then 11 is GURPS?

From now, whenever I see people talk about F.A.T.A.L., I'm going to post my F.A.T.A.L. game to remind everyone, especially me, how much of a bad idea it is to try and play it.

You never even got off the ground with that!

I wanted to see somebody get their arm cut off and then die from hit point loss!

Didn't see this last time I posted. Don't know how yet to feel about them taking the name of a book that spanned at least two editions and turning it into something that is not a book.
