Where are the forums for Lords of Waterdeep and Legend of Drizzt?

LoW is an incredible game and it would be nice to discuss it with others here.
Reflavoring: the change of flavor without changing any mechanical part of the game, no matter how small, in order to fit the mechanics to an otherwise unsupported concept.
Retexturing: the change of flavor (with at most minor mechanical adaptations) in order to effortlessly create support for a concept without inventing anything new.
Houseruling: the change, either minor or major, of the mechanics in order to better reflect a certain aspect of the game, including adapting the rules to fit an otherwise unsupported concept.
Homebrewing: the complete invention of something new that fits within the system in order to reflect an unsupported concept.

Default module =/= Core mechanic.

As part of our plans for a forum reorg, we had discussed consolidating the board game forums into a single forum. 

The reorg got pushed back with D&D Next being announced, but we're still hoping to get that implemented soon.

Meanwhile, an awesome new game that is getting rave reviews has no home for discussing and asking questions about it.  There's probably quite a number of D&D fans that might be on the fence on purchasing this game, wondering how good this game is, but have no official location to get feedback.

The two that I feel sorry for a bit are Rodney Thompson and Peter Lee.  They designed a fantastic, fun game and while boardgamegeek is nice, it's not Wizards of the Coast.  Those two should be allowed to share in the worthy kudos that would come their way should there be a forum to discuss this wonderful board game.

The sea looks at the stabillity of the mountian and sighs.
The mountian watches the freedom of the sea and cries.

I'd like to see one of two things happen quickly:

(1) Create new sections for the newer board games so that each has a home.

(2) Put all D&D board game threads into one place.

I'd rather have #1, but #2 would be better than having games without a place to properly discuss them.
