Honestly the first one is softened by the owners of the previous getting a discount, but the rules are free on Nethys so it's mostly if you absolutely want it in print. second is it's not all about guns, it's about steampunk and as distraced dm said, there are actual guns on the cover if you...

Can't get microtransactions if folks are playing on .... paper!

Pity they want them online like this via D&D Beyond rather than the PDF format they were in for the 2014 Basic Free Rules. We also had pdf form fillable sheets right on the wizards site. This move to have everything integrated into Beyond might work for some folks but I'm walking away.

There was a Bob Worldbuilder video where he says he didn't think he was getting a book and then did. I think there was a ton of miscommunication about what was allowed and what wasn't. From what he said there wasn't a lot of guidance on even if they had to do a review at all, just that they...

For the numbers thing? Look at the D&Diesel video with Vin Diesel (5.6m views btw on youtube) or the ones with Colbert. There is an audience that will watch these, sure the stars attract more folks, but there is a big section of regular viewership too. My friend is very frustrated with the...

So with patreon content, you are usually downloading it to keep, you pay the fee, you keep the product. My worry with DDB/VTT in the future is that if you don't continue paying the subscription, you no longer have access to the product. Thus you never 'own' it, you only rent it. This could...

We'll see I suppose, but I wouldn't be surprised if in the near future we see physical books as a collectors item and more of a novelty. My theory is they get more and more folks onboard their digital services by offering the rules "now" in digital and then the physical books down the road once...

Is this the beginning of the trend to have digital only content? I'm still concerned my theory of D&D as a service is showing up a bit more..... Hope not.

Haven't read all the replies, but I have this sinking feeling that the physical books aren't what they are releasing, but the digital books on Beyond and their new virtual tabletop with a pre order for the physical books. This lets them work on the rules up till the last minute and push folks...

Kentuckian here, live not too awful far from where this will be made. Lots of boutique/niche bottles out there and unless you are collector you are better off with off-the-shelf bourbon. I always suggest Woodford Reserve for folks that are new to bourbon. Glad my state is getting the business...

Will this be the set that transitions us into 5.5e or whatever they are calling this "totally not a new edition" of D&D?

These lists always make me wonder if other VTTs like Foundry skew different as more of a community uses it over roll20 for certain rpgs.

I'm a big fan of the Hexxers dry erase grid boards. They are white with black lines and don't have actual maps, but with some dry erase pens they are perfect for mapping out situations.

Webbed Sphere, Toy Vault and Troll and Toad are all out of Kentucky, so hopefully this is a good thing for folks like me here in KY!

I've often wondered if they would have a problem with someone putting in Thunder Rift as a mini-setting that can be put anywhere. I'm just glad they put all the player facing information that you'll have to reference in the front of the book instead of buried somewhere in the middle.
