WotC WotC general D&D survey just went live.

[mamba]

WotC used to sell their FG products there. But it appears they no longer do. But other publishers sell FG, Roll20, and Foundry products you can find with that search.

since WotC no longer does and the question was about WotC material, that point is moot, as I now am saying for at least the third time...

I even preemptively addressed your 'new' point already in my previous reply, not that it made a difference

We can argue DMsG as they also sell some stuff for Fantasy Grounds and recently Roll20 (not official books though)

You can say not all digital is PDF, but all PDFs are still digital, and it still is the only thing sold on DTRPG, which was one of the sites given.

DriveThru also sells epub and mobi ebooks, digital art in various formats, and I have the nagging feeling I’m forgetting some. I don’t think Wizards in particular has anything there in other formats, or at least not many, but lots of other publishers do. (And Wizards do sell a lot of awz3 ebooks on Amazon.)

You can download WotC's older art (mostly 3E) off Drivethru as TIFF & JPEG files (for use in your own DMGuild products, no less).

fine, yes, haven’t ever gotten something in epub that I did not also get a PDF for, and an additional format to PDF in < 1% of cases (and never for WotC products) but point taken.

The distinction was more between digital books and VTT, PDF was more the shortform for it.

The point stands that DTRPG and DMsG do not sell WotC VTT material, but they do sell WotC PDFs (no epub etc) so the ‘digital is not PDF comment’ still is nonsense in the context of WotC products (which is the one it was made in)

Also it was noticable that a fairly significant product line in Al-Qadim WAS just completely omitted from the list (I wrote it in...), while Dark Sun, no matter how 'problematic'. at least made the poll.

Al Qadim is apart of the Forgotten Realms as far as WotC is concidered. They made that clear last time Al Qadim or was it Kara Tur, got accidently included on the setting list.

Subsetting for other setting like Red Steel weren't included either.

Maybe they should I suspect Kara Tur and Al Qadim, maybe Maztica too, would dwarf the popularity of some other setting on their own by themselves.

Or make subsettings a seperate question.

You can believe its nonsense, your prerogative. But you have agreed that you are factually wrong so... Not sure why you stand by stance. Keep making your moot point, if it makes you happy. Or just let it go, it doesn't seem like we are going to agree.

I have not agreed, I said that WotC only sells PDFs and that this was at the core of all of this. I agree that DMsG & DTRPG do sell some other stuff too and I shortened it to PDF for simplicity because that is the only thing of relevance in this context. The fact that that is all that WotC is selling there still remains. Nothing relevant has changed, some unimportant distractions that have no bearing on what was being discussed were clarified, so... you are still entirely wrong with your 'digital is not PDF' statement in the context it was made in

I wonder if it means something that Half-Elf didn't make the list.

Nothing too extraordinary, same reason Half-Orc isn't on the list: Half-Elves and Half-Orcs aren't going to be Species in the PHB as of next year, they are being replaced with the refluff hybrid background option entirely.

Such a lazy, insulting idea. It really seems like a path of least resistance designed not to offend anyone at the cost of functionally removing a concept from having any mechanical heft. Level Up did so much better with this.

Hardly lazy, nor insulting: it removes the icky essential ism of the distinct "Half-Race" while opening up more possibilities easily.
