To my mind, the most important component is that some do continue to play. Of course, people drop off. But I've been playing for ~40 years now, and I'm not likely to stop any time soon (health willing). Even if 1 new player out of a 1000 gets the bug to try other games and explore the RPG...

When you advance your Valour, you do get a Reward, but (unless you were focused on Valour to the exclusion of all else) that should have happened once with 2-3 adventures at most amounts of advancement points handed out. The Starter Set adventures are Shire-focused, were you up to Hobbit...

That sounds like maybe the Loremaster was in a D&D mind frame a bit too much. Valour rewards should happen somewhat slowly and rolls to find magic items should be even more rare. They may just have wanted to see the magic items in play, or felt that y'all expected it? Hard to say, of course.

With The One Ring, what was your trouble with Rewards? They should only get one when they advance their Valour, which is roughly equivalent to a Level in D&D-alikes. Was it happening too often? Was no one advancing Wisdom and thus getting Virtues? (feats, basically) And, of course, the phrase...

I think we are very strongly agreeing. I am not sure if there is a point of confusion?

Oh yes, that's what has been said, and I tend to believe that's what the design team wants ("another shot at it with 10 years experience, but don't rock the boat too much because 5e was the first D&D for lots of people") but the C-suite got greedy and tried to wreck the OGL. So, if the C-suite...

As a reminder, we did not see the 2014 SRD until 2016. Now, a lot of that was (presumably) hesitation on the part of the executives to "give away the game", but after they did so, the game exploded in popularity (for lots of reasons, but the OGL was a big part). Then they got greedy and forgot...

Would it be? We would care, but Aunt May buying "that game that Peter likes" won't care. That said, I won't be shocked if the 2024 releases fall flat, or become the 2024 releases only on a technicality.

It might get tricky if you're trying to combine it with other stuff that uses other licenses. Otherwise, I'm a big fan of CC BY, and plan to use it for my own rules stuff.

I would normally object to CC BY-SA, since it could hamper downstream creations that have other requirements (e.g. you want to support a licensed setting with the CC BY-SA ruleset, but can't legally do so, since you can't SA the licensed setting), but if Mythic Europe is part of the CC BY-SA...

That seems reasonable, for the general market; no matter what happens here, other sites, social media, and even YouTube, the average customer is going to buy the 2024 D&D product because they see in a store or advertised on somewhere. But if the folks who buy once and seldom again are the only...

I think this is a fair criticism, but with the drek has also been some standouts, most notably Iman Vellani in Ms. Marvel. I can't wait to see her in the movie in a few days, and her enthusiasm for the MCU is infectious. I can't yet judge Mackie's Cap, since we haven't seen him carry a movie...
