I'm most interested in the forgotten realms books, not sure if I'll get them though since I'm moving away from 5e.

At this point, none. I was slightly interested in the starter set despite being based on Keep on the Borderlands (a decidedly bad adventure, esp for the current incarnation of D&D), but from what I have seen it is more board-gamey than what I would want.

I will keep an eye on it, but right now the ToV starter set looks better to me - and that is a sentiment that might be true for 5e vs ToV overall as well. My interest in WotC D&D is at a low point right now (since my return during 5e) / after the 2024 books.

Until they choose to enable the QoL 2024 ruleset toggle on DDB or allow me to sell my account there isn't anything they could produce that I would buy. 3pp is where I will spend my money until then!

I thought Sigil was gonna be explosive -- turned out to be a dud firecracker. I tried. I watched. I even spent a little USD. But ever since they took over D&D, WotC hasn't done anything I'd call interesting or innovative. Spelljammer was a great opportunity for WotC to do something fun and different with the rules set --- nothing.
I'll keep saying it: if Hasbro wasn't spending millions to keep D&D relevant it wouldn't be the most popular ttrpg. Shadowdark or Call of Cthulhu or Pathfinder (the most recent edition of D&D I really enjoyed) would be. I'm not excited about WotC doing anything because they haven't shown me they can produce exciting products.

P.S.: Hey? Remember the OGL fiasco and the AI fiasco and the Gleemax fiasco and the Pinkerton fiasco and the 4e/Dungeons of Warcraft fiasco and every other bad decision this company has made? Remember how we all said "NEVER AGAIN! BOYCOTT WOTC! BURN THEM WITH FIRE!"? Yet - here you all are again lining up to give WotC all your money and attention and loyalty. Me?

Maybe you were saying all that.

Most of us weren’t.

Aaaanyway

I’m excited for the setting books mostly. I hope the FR books actually look at what things are like in 1500 DR, and The Spellfire Sorcerer is the only Sorcerer in 5e I might be excited for. It’s what should have been in the PHB, IMO.

The Eberron book is exciting because I love Eberron, and I want to see more Artificer support.

Borderlands could be cool.

Thread 'The OGL -- Just What's Going On?'

Jan 5, 2023

D&D fandom is in uproar again about purported upcoming changes to the Open Gaming License, and rumours are flooding social media regarding WotC's intentions to 'de-authorize' the existing Open Gaming License in favour of a new one.

What's the OGL?
The Open Gaming License is a share-a-like license created by D&D owner WotC about 20 years ago so that third parties could create material compatible with the then-3E D&D game. This allowed smaller publishers to ensure the game was supported with products which WotC could not make themselves, driving sales of the...

I won’t derail the thread with a Wotc pros reply to offset Theory of games Wotc dig so go play shadowdark type response so I’ll say it’s the FR 2 books and the Borderland set

 

[Corinnguard]

I am curious to see what will be in the pages of the Eberron: Forge of the Artificer and the Forgotten Realms Players Guide. Will I buy a physical copy of either book? That remains to be seen as the crunchy bits of either book will probably appear somewhere online for free. Currently that would be:
