    Jack Chick Passes Away

    As a tribute to Chick's memory, I suggest we compile a list of all adventures containing Easter eggs referencing his D&D tract.

    News Digest: Critical Role and Tabletop Going Premium Access? Pathfinder New Releases and Player Inc

    It seems obvious that LDM is scrambling like heck to recover from a badly timed, badly executed announcement.

    New issue of Dragon+ (April '16)

    I don't take seriously any talk of reviving the print magazines in any format other than the push notification system we have right now. But still, I think there's something to consider about the role that the print magazines played on the lives of D&D fans. The old print mags were loot crates...

    Latest D&D Survey Says "More Feats, Please!"; Plus New Survey About DMs Guild, Monster Hunter, Inqui

    Yeah, 5E feats have got to be a pretty difficult design space--in essence, they're compact class abilities that (usually) must be implemented without assuming the character has access to class-specific subsystems. And they can't really be about role playing. Or about letting characters do cool...

    [UPDATED]What Is Project Riboflavin?

    So maybe an inclusivity-themed card game then? That seems like it covers the list of names.

    Harassment in gaming

    Roleplaying only has one unique form of harassment that I'm aware of, that being pervy DMs specifically targeting the characters of female players for gratuitous, detailed in-game sexual assaults. Rather damningly, this is one of the major complaints that we've heard repeated over and over...

    Harassment in gaming

    I don't attend gaming conventions, but nonetheless I have a practical question: do we have a sense of the caliber of security guards these conventions are able/willing to hire? I ask, because I was a part time security guard during for a couple years during school, and I did a lot of work at...

    Harassment in gaming

    If we're talking specifics, then I think there's a pretty tenable argument that, pre-change, these game rules had had the trappings of reactionary advocacy, and that by updating them the companies were simply following their interests by widening the market for their products. Either way, the...

    Harassment in gaming

    Even though it's fascinating, I don't mean to have a wide-ranging discussion about marketing and branding during times of social change as I don't really think that stuff is super appropriate to EnWorld. The counterpoint I want to raise in response to Hussar is that corporations are not always...

    Harassment in gaming

    I think you may have previously banned this person from the thread? I think there's a bit more to it than that--most consumer-facing companies today are betting that their brands will benefit by adopting some of the trappings of progressivism, and wotc is certainly not an exception. Surely...

    All Change At WotC: New President Arrives From Microsoft As Greg Leeds Resigns

    It's difficult for me not to see this resume as part of an effort to finally get a successful MTG-themed competitor to hearthstone off the ground.

    DM's Guild: One Week In - The Best & The Worst

    DTRPG suffers from much the same problem as Steam, in that users (for valid reasons) don't tend to browse very far off the front page. So if you're not currently featured on one of the big landing pages on the DMGuild, it's a safe bet that your sales will drop to a trickle. Companies on steam...

    Star Wars Spoilers Thread [Spoilers]

    I think the fact that this needs to be pointed out again and again is a testament to the weakness of the bowcaster foreshadowing, and to the flatness of this arc's payoff during the climax.

    DDAL A Million Answers From Mearls & Lindsay About DM's Guild, DDAL, and the OGL (Compiled AMA)

    I do find it strange that wotc is announcing all these things directly AFTER the holidays, rather than before. But dang it if I'm not thrilled with every single thing that's come out over the last week.

    You completely missed the point, which was that an inconsistent standard was being applied.

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    So I guess the SRD at least is good to be translated into other languages.

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    I hear you: I'm floored that they released the SRD under the OGL. I didn't believe that I was reading correctly until I saw this page.

    The Day Has Come! It's An OGL! And A Store To Buy & Sell D&D 5E Products!

    Yeah, I immediately had the same question: Is AQ in the FR?
