    Critical Role to Use D&D 2024 Rules For Campaign Four, Expands to Three Tables and Thirteen Players

    Yep. Watching the earliest episodes, it's pretty clear they weren't bringing in endorsement money! It's definitely come a long way from Matt's hand drawn maps on large sheets of paper with too thin of a sharpie to show up well on an internet stream. I haven't watch any CR for a couple years or...

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    They have said DLC add-ons will be available for purchase separately. The only thing that appears to be a pre-order exclusive is the Dallabad Oasis Animated Map. Oh, and they are thankfully updating the product info page, because I was confused about that as well...

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    Yes, and looking at the "$76 savings" claim along with individual prices for the books & dice, at least, it looks like all three DLCs together are valued around $50ish. Whether that's 20/20/10 or 20/15/15 or some other combination (including any value they are including from the map pack?), we...

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    Yeah, I think the Digital Bundle product info is just wrong. They must have decided to post it with incorrect/incomplete info for whatever reason, and it will include the DLCs for about $62-ish.

    D&D General More Details Revealed for Forgotten Realms Digital Expansions

    (Deleted. Never mind. The Digital Bundle product page has got to be wrong/incomplete. It doesn't make any sense otherwise.)

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    They can answer for themselves, but at a guess since they only said so far that August and September won't be at Amazon it's a matter of too fast of a turn around to get the August books to Amazon directly, but hopefully should be resolved soon after???

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    Thanks for the additional information! I can see the law working that way, but also, if I am understanding that correctly, the proper procedure is all 128 of those companies should have filed UCC-1's in Maryland AND notified all 127 other companies in writing (or at least as many that have filed...

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    At least from that other article (just one source so far, tho), it is not that Diamond is claiming publishers were given ample time or notice to claim their stuff. They are not alleging that. Apparently, the filing states that publishers didn't file a "U.C.C.-1" form to basically put a lien on...

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    This article has more detail: https://bleedingfool.com/comics/consignment-or-confiscation-diamonds-bankruptcy-leaves-publishers-guessing/ IANAL either, but at least from the details provided it sounds like Diamond is claiming since the companies selling on consignment didn't file a claim...

    D&D 5E (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 5E (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 5E (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 5E (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:
