This is a great take.

Sounds like mostly small scale changes -- which is good! That means they are settling on the big issues and moving ever closer to a full release. This reminded me that needed to get my Daggerheart playtest group back together. And based on specific comments from them,I think we will jump to 5th...

While I suppose it is possible to read that figure as female in 2024, in the context of the time it was created it absolutely does not read as female.

In my experience, players and GMs are far more likely to do that than rules.

Thanks. So it is on rails. That's fine, by the way. A "rollercoaster" adventure can be a lot of fun. I was just curious how WotC decided to write this one.

But it is player agency for them to say "we go here instead of there."

As they should. That is why we organize. That's okay. I wasn't playing gotcha. I honestly was interested. I don't know what resource you were pointing to when you said one could check pay in Washington. Everywhere is horrible but I have heard Seattle is bad. San Francisco, too. I do think...

I keep forgetting to cancel a Roll20 subscription that was gifted to me 3 years ago that I now pay for, despite the fact that I run games exclusively using Fantasy Grounds. That's pretty dumb.

I love it when people completely ignore the point that this is not necessary at all and that multiple companies have proven that you can both support Open gaming in a real way and continue to be successful.

Excellent. I'd love some numbers. How much less does Paizo pay than WotC for equivalent positions? How does that number relate to how much money each company makes? How does it relate to their hiring practices and requirements for positions? I'm being serious: if you can show that Paizo is...

It is worse than that. @mamba is asking you to prove "with hard data" that Paizo would not have made more money NOT opening their content the way they did. It is, of course, impossible to do such a thing, and they know it.

Turning that painting into a female warrior mini is some Grade A outrage farming by WizKids. Bra-Vo. There is no universe in which this doesn't cause a stir in geek circles and likely beyond, and WizKids can only benefit. Now, personally, I think outrage farming is pretty gross. If I thought...

You keep saying this so I want to know what you mean. Living wages to whom? In what aspects of the company? Are they skirting the law, or are they headquartered in an area where costs of living are astronomical. Are you equally concerned with what WotC pays? Do you even know?

This is an interesting statement. Can you expound?

All I am saying is that it was extra work that would not have been there is they had a full SRD (like doing work for Pathfinder). We set rates and assume value based on expectations is all. It's weird that I need to explain this to someone who hires freelancers, to be honest.
