    D&D 5E Could D&D Die Again?

    I believe Wizards said in the creators summit that the VTT is in pre Alpha, I would guess it's years off from supporting any other games if that's something Wizards decides to do.

    D&D 5E Could D&D Die Again?

    It seems like Wizards is spending Anton of money on One DND, especially with the VTT. I wonder what their measure of success will be. I could see a scenario where One DND does better than any other version but is still considered a disappointment due to how much was spent on the VTT.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    Ehh Paramount has a lot of big franchises (Star Trek, Mission Impossible, Top Gun, Transformers, TMNT, Sonic the Hedgehog, Scream). I wouldn't say D&D is their best card to compete against famous franchises by other companies. Maybe fantasy franchise but not every company has a big fantasy...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    It's not, but it doesn't seem likely the movie will come close to making back it's budget plus marketing with the theatrical run. Big budget movies like Honor Among Thieves are expected to turn a decent profit, not break even or eventually crawl to profitability with streaming/TV/VOD sales...

    Black Flag Project Black Flag Reveal Its Official Title: 'Tales of the Valiant'!

    There's a long running JRPG series "Tales of" TTRPGs and JPRGs aren't the same thing but do have some crossover audience. Honestly I'm a bit surprised they would go with a name that could be easily be mistaken for being another entry in a long running videogame series

    Pathfinder 2E 2 New Pathfinder Videogames Announced (Update: Abomination Vaults game confirmed)

    Hopefully at least one of them is. Doesn't look like Bkom studios has made any CRPGs before but then again Owlcat games hadn't made any games before Kingmaker.

    Pathfinder 2E 2 New Pathfinder Videogames Announced (Update: Abomination Vaults game confirmed)

    Paizo announced today they're teaming up with Bkom studios to release 2 new Pathfinder games. One will be releasing later this year on Steam, one is in early development. No details on what type of games they'll be yet as far as I can tell...

    D&D Movie/TV DADHAT hits $80,856,963 box office

    March was a packed month with Creed 3, Shazam 2, John Wick 4, DnD and Mario. I'm surprised some of them didn't get moved.

    D&D Movie/TV DADHAT hits $80,856,963 box office

    Mario is looking to be a monster at the box office, it's probably going to take some of D&D's screens.

    D&D Movie/TV Guess the D&D Movie Opening Weekend Box Office Performance, and Win a Prize!

    We'll really need to see the legs the movie has in the coming weeks to really determine if it's a flop or not. Typically $150 million movies have at least $100 million in marketing budgets, probably bringing this up to around $250 million spent. Theaters take around 50% domestically for most...

    D&D 5E Turning Perception into a Saving throw?

    That's sort of how Pathfinder 2e works with traps, when you have a character that's searching while exploring the GM rolls a secret perception check with that character vs the stealth dc of the trap to see if it's noticed by the character or not. It's not exactly a saving throw it's a check but...

    D&D 5E More details about the VTT from D&D Beyond

    I'm currently running a PF2 game in Foundry and I agree it can be easy to learn and use for certain type of people. It does require some technical know how and a willingness to troubleshoot if you self host. There's also ton of modules which require research to see what all you should...

    D&D 5E More details about the VTT from D&D Beyond

    Yeah it makes sense it looks a lot like Talespire, they're both going for the same thing of miniatures in 3D environments to represent a TTRPG play space. I haven't played Talespire but I know it's a couple of years old and it will be interesting to see what kind of state the DND VTT launches in...

    WotC D&D Direct—Video Event From WotC Coming Next Week

    The VTT is running in UE5 and will have 3D models and particle effects so it will likely require a better GPU than web browser based VTTs. I imagine WotC will want it to run on as many computers as possible though. Edit: Lol I realized you were probably more referencing the potatoes in the...

    D&D Movie/TV What will be the end credits scene for the D&D Movie? (Wrong / silly answers only.)

    We see all the characters as regular humans around a table, having just finished playing a campaign. One of them says "Well that was fun, want to start another campaign". Another says "Yeah that would be great, but did you hear about how Wizards of the Coast tried to revoke the Open Games...

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    One other thing to not is the movie is premiering several weeks at SXSW several we3ks before its wide release so I'm guessing Paramount is fairly confident in the quality of the movie sice they wouldn't want several weeks of bad word of mouth before the wide release.

    D&D Movie/TV D&D Movie Hit or Flop?

    From what I understand publically known budget numbers typically don't include marketing. I'm guessing Paramount will probably spend another $100 million or so marketing the movie worldwide. Plus theaters take a cut of ticket sales and often there will be local distributors in various foreign...

    D&D (2024) Pulse check on 1D&D excitement level

    When all the OGL stuff went down the group I GM and the group I play in made the switch to Pathfinder 2E and we're enjoying it with no intention of switching back to DND anytime soon. That being said I am enjoying watching the design process. Ovrrall I feel like they're doing a good job of...

    D&D (2024) New Wild Shape

    Honestly this is more along the lines of what I thought they would do with templates and doing something along these lines would work far better than what is currently in the UA.
