They could also go buy most of that content at DriveThruRPG.

It is completely separate from the OGL, it is an agreement between Wizards of the Coast and OneBookShelf to supplement the OGL to allow users to publish 5th edition content and use D&D Materials so long as it is set in The Forgotten Realms(initially, the available settings of course expanded.)...

I wouldn't know, my table and I played the game perfectly fine without ever once touching the digital tools. This presupposes that all of the hypothetical players are exclusively online players. If you assume that all players play exclusively online using digital toolkits then yes it looks...

It doesn't seem likely that they would turn off support for the existing product that was purchased through the service. Yes, they won't sell new content, but the virtual tool assets created while Cubicle 7 has the license are likely to remain available for customers who have already purchased...

Those are two diametrically opposed arguments you're making. Should digital services honor purchases you make in perpetuity? Of course. Are digital materials replacing physical media? No they aren't. 4e wasn't ONLY its digital tools subscription, and it isn't a dead system because of the...

Yeah, an hour of work isn't how product reviews work in the industry, and you know that. Hence my statement that they would either license the material (put you under a contract which would require them to pay lawyers) or pay the author. This was in reference to your statement that there...

I can still walk into a store or order CD's, DVD's game disks, print books online. Hell vinyl came back from the dead. The inclusion of new options has not yet decreased what we have available to us. Yeah 4e did have a digital subscription, but that didn't render the game unplayable if you...

Cool, thanks Adam. Really excited to see what you guys are going to unveil next, looking forward to the Pathfinder tools and keeping my fingers crossed for Chronicles of Darkness alongside the World of Darkness tools already announced. Edited for clarity.

As long as there is an audience for traditionally printed games, and the paper shortage doesn't price the smaller companies from being able to enter that sphere in such a way as force them to permanently pivot to digital content, there will always be an ability to play games without having to...

There's also a zero chance they would not license the work or pay the author in some way. Accepting free work from an author is a recipe for a legal battle if the work is successful.

Looks more like Jim J. Bullock or an aged up Will Forte

Because the attempts to appeal to the anti-woke, anti-wotc crowd are 100% performative. The snake oil salesman always sounds like a parody to the people who aren't drawn to the grift.

Alone in a crowded niche market with no previous product to point at is where they are now WITH the TSR trademark. Why is that even a factor?

Wait, the guy on YouTube who screamed about He-Man for six months is a "Media Source?" One thing I read in another forum that I find interesting is this: The Trademark in question is the one in use in legacy pod/pdf content on DriveThruRPG, where you easily discover how long that version has...

That would give TSR 3 a lot more gravitas and credibility than it frankly deserves.

This wouldn't even be a re-enactment scene in the "Toys That Made America" episode about D&D

Didn't the cover page of the TSR filing in the NC Circuit have a listed date of October? I was under the impression the initial filing was October and that evidence was submitted on the 7th prior to the dismissal on the 9th

The WOTC petition comes the day before the Indiegogo campaign, but not before the filing of TSR’s suit which according to the documents was initially filed in October. the timeline looks more like TSR filed suit -> WOTC responded with their Trademark challenge -> LeNasa decided to try to...

I mean, it's the highly trained lawyers from Hasbro, so they're just as good.
