    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    This is the first I have heard "openness" rather than "virality" of copyleft licenses defined by volume of open content. If this is truly the overwhelmingly common definition used by all of the TTRPG for the past 25 years (well, except for everyone else in thread), I'm going throw a "citation...

    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    This really confuses me. I thought this thread is here on EN World. I thought we are all part of this community. I see many members of this community disagreeing with you and no one agreeing. Are we not members of this community (TTRPG and EN World)? Or do only the True Scots of this community...

    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    So, if I understand this, you are saying: Under OGL - Product A releases some OGC. Product B uses that OGC and has to release their own. Under CC-BY - Product A releases some open content. Product B uses that content but does not have to release it's own. So therefore OGL is "more open" than...

    D&D (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    Speaking of which, the A5E SRD is enormous and thank you for that! It's awesome all that you have in there! Buuuut.... just to be greedy ;) , any chance of updates to it like more Gate Pass Gazettes or mechanics from Planestriders or Zeitgeist? This is a purely selfish request related to a...

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    That, to me, is a huge part of the problem. WotC no longer has any interest in being a "Publisher." They (executive management, of course) have not been shy for years to outright call themselves a "Brand Management" company. They do not see themselves as the largest RPG Publisher, and in fact...

    Has Wizards of the Coast Given Up on Sigil?

    Also don't ignore the other revenue stream that WotC themselves have said is a major focus of their efforts:

    Has Wizards of the Coast Given Up on Sigil?

    I would also be very dubious about that since any evidence not from WotC themselves (very likely Bookscan data, I'm guessing, if not just made up or extrapolated from arcane reverse engineering Amazon sales rank tea leaves) will not include any numbers from WotC's own direct sales which they...

    Critical Role To Wrap Up Third Campaign, New Exandria Unlimited Miniseries Announced

    It is pre-recorded but for they will typically play that whole time (with breaks, of course, for food & bio breaks). ;) So 8.5 hours wasn't the planned length, they just played until they were done. So their 7+ hour C2 finale was them playing for over 7 hours. This one was apparently recorded...

    D&D Beyond Adds Illrigger Class from MCDM

    Exactly, including the DDB programmers because adding a CLASS is massively more complicated than every single spell, feat, magic item, monster, etc. Knee jerk responses of "a creative project isn't cheap, so capitalism is gonna capitalism" is tiring and trite. The enpoopification of Google and...

    D&D Beyond Adds Illrigger Class from MCDM

    Yes, pugilist would be awesome! I love that class! But we'll have to see.

    The Legend of Vox Machina Free on YouTube for Limited Time

    Yep, and part of that is intentional (and I'm sure opinions vary whether that is a good thing or bad thing). I remember Matt talking about being very clear with the cartoon writers that he wanted to keep the randomness of an actual D&D campaign in there. Sometimes things take weird turns and the...

    The Legend of Vox Machina Free on YouTube for Limited Time

    You are not even the only one who said it, but some people simply enjoy complaining about CR. The topic always attracts them. There is usually better things to do than posting over and over in a thread about a show you don't even like, but to each their own. Like the vast majority of people who...

    The Legend of Vox Machina Free on YouTube for Limited Time

    Almost like some people might pick a race based on things other than stat bonuses. ;)

    Map List for 2024 Dungeon Master's Guide Revealed

    By far, the things I have been most impressed with the Beadle & Grimm sets are their maps. They are highest quality ones I have come across in any RPG products. And then for a set of nicely re-usable generic locations like this and I'm sold!
