The Grumpy Dwarf Pees in The Tavern's Scrying Pool

Another April Fool's Day is here. It's time for Grumpy to stir The Tavern's Scrying Pool for some predictions for the rest of 2014.

1 - Fans of D&D Next are going to be surprised to find the 3x SRD between the covers of their newest and latest Dungeons & Dragons. What's old is new again.

2 - Monte Cook is going to publish the "Numasutra". Enough said.

3 - Paizo's Pathfinder will reboot it's core rulebook - 550 pages for $5.50 in bulletproof hardcover.

4 - Disney World will be the next Apocalypse World game. Personally, I want to play Donald.

5 - RPGNow and DriveThruRPG will become two separate companies once again, just so today's announcement can actually come to pass.

6 - The next OSR Clone with be Swords & Lords, a mish mash of the worst of S&W and LL.

7 - Lee's List will publish 100 Lists of Lists of 100.

8 - DCC RPG in Spaaaaaccccceeeee!

9 - Mike Nystul will rise like a phoenix. Mike's Crab Shack and Mini Con will have a fundraiser on Indiegogo. Funds raised will buy Mike a new Winnebago.

10 - Dwimmermount will release. No one will notice. Rats will cry and copper will melt.

11 - Tunnels & Trolls Deluxe will face yet another rewrite. Ken will borrow from Apocalypse World to create Troll World. At least it will still use D6's.

12 - The Tavern will embrace the latest and newest edition of D&D. It will be kept in the privy and read one page at a time. Previously read pages will not be available...

  2. #11 is why I don't play T&T. I can't even keep track of the versions, nevermind play any of them. That one system probably has more variations than anything except D&D . . .

    Gimme gimme!

    Hire +Kevin Crawford to do it. DCC+SWN sounds like the game nobody even knew they wanted but needs desperately.
