Ah. The form having an expensive fee now makes much more sense. If true, that was a missing puzzle piece because I think a lot of people assumed the paperwork was just a form to sign and was free. With the form being so expensive vs smaller amounts of stock, I am going to assume it's actually...

Considering the psionist is now a magic user who cast spells with their ... mind (🤪) it seems that 5e is embracing a science fantasy vibe (where "science" is more alchemy or steampunk.) Of course that's been there since the early days, but this seems to be step closer using the trappings...

Sort of surprised this hasn't come up in previous editions/takes of the game.

Does this make her the VP of Franchise for the World of Darkness then?

The snake-like reptile with only arms is a lindworm (also lindwyrm or lindwurm in mythology) as Dragonbane borrows more from Swedish mythology than most. Powerwise, they fill in around where D&D would put a wyvern? The difference, though, is that the DB lindworm is an intelligent, but greedy...

That dragon is amazing.

Very true, but distributors have not been doing this well for sometime. I've lost track of how many times I've tried to order something through the FLGS and had no luck. If it's not a top seller, you take your chances. Ironically I've had indie publishing company that were begging to be on...

Until recently, professional ttrpg writers were not even making professional rates compared to journalism or professional writing groups like SFWA (Science Fiction Writers Association.)

If GAMA offers seminars or education on UCC-1s and other paperwork, they should be saying something. It's so frustrating how almost each individual has to learn how to run a publishing/gaming business from scratch in this industry.

Not disagreeing but I'd feel like it would be less about creation as the dragons seem more about order and control. Both sides seem to manipulate others as compared to creating new things or ideas. That is the beauty of having a new bare bones setting, the designers can tweak things as you...

I probably comletely wrong here but I feel like Dragon Magic is one of those things where the designers know the fans want it but secretly dread designing it so they make it the final highly unlikely stretch goal. "Okay, they took us over the line, we at least owe it to them. Darn it."

204,000?!? Holy crap! I can't even imagine that sort of event. Of course, I've never done any mega events like SDCC.

RPG books need to be an instruction manual, a reference guide, and an engaging lore document. It's a hard juggling act.

So the store we went to was only allowing one freebie after a qualified purchase. I don't know what the qualifiers were but a $12 dice set worked. Only one person was running D&D, so it was nice to see other games run. Though the games were CoC, Avatar, Cyberpunk, and Bunkers and Badasses, so...
