It does look like they took it down when they added the dragon type preview pages. I had it saved:

Yeah, I don't dispute the first paragraph - I'd say it was a mix of people who genuinely felt the game was too different, and also people for whom the I guess vibe more than the game itself was too different. And yes when the list of "times WotC shot itself in the foot through the years" is...

I'm not sure what the effects of that loss will be, but it certainly wouldn't be reflected in Q1 2025. Any D&D stuff published in that quarter had those folks still working on it.

Assuming an alternate history that looks like this: 3.5 SRD and the OGL exist 4E exists but has a more liberal SRD that was in the OGL WotC still terminates Paizo's contract on the magazines ...then there would have still been Pathfinder, and it still would have competed very strongly against...

For one thing, in terms of WotC's goals, I think they wanted to not tank sales from between the time an upcoming new edition was announced (August 2022) and released (July 2024 - February 25). It would have been harder to sell 5E material released after August 2022 if it seemed like it would be...

Similarly, Tiamat and Bahamut as deity names are not original to D&D, but their visual likenesses and characterizations are.

The weapons that the kids use in the 1980s cartoon are all represented in the 5.2 SRD (cloak of invisibility, energy bow, Quarterstaff of the Acrobat, Shield of the Cavalier, Hat of Many Spells, Thunderous Greatclub).

Thank you!

Delve into Cirothe’s lair with us in episode 27 of To Slay a Dragon, presented by Cast Party and by EN Publishing. Listen wherever fine podcasts are heard in the PodCast Party: A D&D Podcast feed or here: To Slay a Dragon: Part 27

The devs have strongly implied that Solasta 2 will use the new SRD & 5.5 rules to the extent that the new SRD includes them.

This site skews towards people who care about stuff like this, though. And even here, there's some support for AI TTRPG products. Many of us are also the sort of people who can afford not to shop at Amazon/Wal-Mart/Target, etc on moral grounds (although tons of folks here don't think twice...

I tied myself in knots trying to answer this, due I think to the fact that my answer doesn't matter. I don't like the idea of AI-generated writing or art and my inclination is not to support it. However, it is happening, and will continue to happen, regardless of what I want. I don't think the...

Level Up: A5E handles this well in that the regions themselves have tiers. A particular region that is Tier 1 won't suddenly become more dangerous just because the players reach level 5, but level 5-11 characters will often find that their adventures take them into more dangerous, Tier 2 regions.
