FYI, we are releasing the Biohzard adventure as a standalone next month

Well, chop chop! :P :)

Awesome, thanks for the plug; yeah we just released a rebuild of the core book and have a sequel coming out next week. The third volume in the series will be later this year. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/176948/Amethyst-Quintessence-5E

Can I be in a good mood now? We need to take this OGL as a win, a huge step forward, and send a message that we can walk forward together. At this point, I really don't want to be adversarial to anyone. I want to be in a good mood. We still need assurances regarding VTTs, but I'm done with...

Yup, that's what I figured, and I applaud Sigfried for writing rules in new ways to avoid these issues. Currently, is unsure of its direction regarding OGL. We are also in the ORC alliance and are hoping WOTC stops using the stick in favor of more carrot to win us back to their side.

That's a good question, Greg. For EH, it might, and I am sure Sigfried can address that. Personally, I think the book is ok, especially if 1.2 is adopted, as the grandfather clause allows EH to exist with the 1.0a license. Ultramodern5 is a bit better off because we are NOT self-enclosed. We...

I think people are taking a bit of an extreme interpretation of what I said because literally there are people calling for a boycott of anyone "supporting" Hasbro. I am not "surrendering". With products like Ultramodern5, which has no IP affixed to it, I see no reason creating a NEW UM5 that is...

Those wishing to continue fanning this flame until the brand is in ashes, you are free to do so as you wish, but I am not supporting the idea of seeing D&D burn so a few people can feel warm. We're making progress. This was a huge step forward.

Dias Ex Machina’s stance on 1.2 (UPDATE) Dias Ex Machina has read the 1.2 OGL draft released on January 19th. We have looked over the conditions. And outside of reaching out to them to ensure future products like Heavenfall and Amethyst Revelations are compliant with their conditions regarding...

The secret is to see why people bring 3PP books to the table. Is it because the class fits the theme of the homebrew setting? Do the monsters? Or does the player want the class because it is so overpowered...you'd be surprised how few times that reasoning is given and how often role players...

So true. I lost friends last year when they were sharing false pro-Ukraine posts. I was trying to explain that sharing lies, even if they are comfortable, hurts the war in the long run. They did not agree, with some claiming that they "choose to believe it".

Thanks. My thoughts exactly.

Thank you for showing support. We third-party publishers that write for 5E are certainly under a lot of pressure and we can use all the love we can get right now.

While clicking on anti-WOTC or anti-D&D social media posts is appealing, remember that algorithms are encouraged by engagement, and negativity feeds better than positivity. Those with popular social media channels know this, which is why it’s in their best interest to feed this narrative. Now...

Also, if you want more variety, we also offer three settings: A full-on mecha space opera called Conestoga A sci-fi fantasy called Paradise and a steampunk setting called Torus

The biggest difference, if I trust what people have told me, is that Everyday Heroes was built from the ground up as a self-enclosed system based on 5E as a spiritual successor for the original 3.5 D20 modern. However, D20 modern back then was not designed to be wholly 100% compatible with 3.5...

You've made a step, but WOTC has a lot of walking to do. This is stitching a wound while the patient bleeds internally.

Way to gaslight us, WOTC

The OGL was written before Hasbro took them over. It was intended to be irrevocable but that word was missing from the original OGL. As a result, Hasbro believes they have legal grounds to cancel it and end all 3pp support that is not under their complete control. The OGL was absolutely...
