Morale rolls and mechanics. I don't know why they ever got rid of this.

One advantage of the OGL over the CC licenses is that it's familiar to the people in the industry. People learned how to use it and trusted the process that it involved. Sure, CC is also easy, but it is unfamiliar to many, and that can be a huge disadvantage. If the ORC is similar to the OGL in...

I guess that's a good point. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sure you can do it. Or at least I've seen it done before. For instance, I've seen magazines where only certain article are available under CC, but not the entire magazine. I'm also looking at my copy of For Gold & Glory, which is released...

WotC did that on the previous draft. They only specified a certain range of pages as "released under CC-BY." I'm sure they consulted their lawyers, so I'd say it's definitely allowed.

OK, so that part of what was tripping me up. Seemed that my former assumption was incorrect. It seems that whatever license you apply a derived product, it ONLY applies to your "original" creation, not anything that is taken from the SRD (also mentioned in the CC FAQ, albeit somewhat hidden --...

That was a bad example. What about releasing it under any other license that doesn't require attribution?

I'm not sure I'm convinced if my derivative work is not under CC. Especially if it's not easy to distinguish what was or wasn't taken from the SRD. If I release my derivative work under the following license "You can use any part of this work WITHOUT attribution as long as you give me a...

I think the CC is overall a much better license than what the OGL was. And generally much easier to use. However, one thing that confuses me about it is: What are the attribution requirements for derivatives of derivatives? For instance, say I create a product based on the SRD 5.1 and release...

It's definitely not most. Nevertheless, it'd be interesting if anyone could compile accurate statistics regarding what percentage of people who started on D&D have switched to other games, for how long, etc.

Perhaps you need the users that the D&D logo brings for economic viability, but not necessarily "success," depending on how you define it. The GURPS Character Sheet (GCS) program has nowhere near the same amount of users, yet I'd still consider it very successful. It does what its supposed to...

There was also one for 2e AD&D, but I forget if that was TSR or WotC, but either way, not a success. At least not financially.

Yeah. I can't say I have statistics on the matter, but I think it's safe to say that there's a significant amount of people that would not be playing 5E at all if it wasn't for DDB. Half of my gaming group, for example. Also, how many times has WoTC has attempted to create similar tools and...

If it's not too late, I'd like to nominate Happy Jack's RPG Podcast, an excellent RPG advice show. It's been on the air for over a decade. https://www.happyjacks.org/

Real-time-with-pause (RTWP) certainly has its flaws, but not being able to take your time with it is not one of them. That's what the "pause" part of it. You can make RTWP work as a quasi-turned-based system if you wanted to. I think RTWP is a great compromise between full turned based and...

I'm new in the forums so I'm not sure how things work, but I don't understand why the thread suddenly went to "awaiting for approval mode." Oh well. I'm guessing it does that every time I edit the original post. Sigh...

Obviously, any older editions of D&D (OD&D, BECMI, B/X, RC, AD&D, etc.) will do. Same with any OSR clones. Despite their differences, the experience should be more or less the same regardless of what D&D variant you go with. Now for a completely different experience: A while back my friends...

No. Feel free to suggest zines of any language.

Hi everyone, I'm trying to compile a list of all RPG magazines/periodicals that are still active (as of 2019). I'd appreciate it if people could post the names or links of any magazines that they are aware of. Anything counts as long as it's RPG-related. It can be print or pdf, commercial or...
