    District Court Opinion (nuTSR, Tenkar)

    He clearly saw the Streisand Effect as a model, not a warning. Sometimes people need to know when to shut up. This whole legal debacle (well mainly the one with WotC, not Tenkar--nobody knows who that is) which HE started has destroyed his reputation in the TTRPG community. Why does he keep...

    When to start publishing?

    I feel that the 'uniqueness' of this system is simply that it's not D&D. Most of the features are described in terms of that--"not classes", not "loot and levelling", not "ending at a certain level", etc. Plus some stuff about dying (or not sying? I'm not sure!) that I couldn't really follow...

    Obviously. Gosh, who'd have thought? It's almost like you worked for them.

    WotC D&D Hiring New Game Designer Months After Firing Many

    Coming from the person who in reponse to the universally-decried OGL crisis last year said "Waiting for all the angry people who nothing will ever be good enough for them to arrive" I don't think I'm that concerned.

    WotC D&D Hiring New Game Designer Months After Firing Many

    She was wearing the wrong clothes, right? Depriving somebody of their job might not be the same scale, but blaming the victim instead of the perpetrator is awful, whatever the situation. Can we not do that?

    Worlds of Design: Colonies

    I don’t know where this weird narrative came from, but colonialism is endlessly and repeatedly described as awful. Not one person in this thread, reading this site, or in the world, is not very aware of this. The narrative that this is somehow not forefront in society’s consciousness of the...

    Worlds of Design: Colonies

    I wasn't attaempting to 'address your concern' or 'answer your criticism'; I agree with you that displacing indinenous popuations is bad. As somebody, like many Americans, who literally lives in a 'colonized' area whose population was displaced, it's very much a current and present situation...

    Worlds of Design: Colonies

    It's important to separate the concept of a colony with that of exploitation of indignenous people. While historically the two did go hand in hand, it is possible to colonize empty land. A colony on moon or Mars, or one in Antarctica, for example, present no ethical issues (at least not in terms...

    D&D General D&D Player's Handbook 2024: The Official Advance Review

    Incorrect. That is not how words work. The term 'edition' is not owned by Hasbro. Companies are free to market their product how they like, but the consumers get to judge what it is. Yes, WotC has made a concerted effort to portray this as 'not a new edition', because the word is toxic to...

    Press The Arneson Estate views The Age of the Wolf as a fake Blackmoor Publication

    Why does EVERYTHING involving the estates of Gygax or Arneson end up with these ridiculous amateurish public IP feuds? Whether it's Gygax's widow feuding with his sons, or whatever this is, what is it about those 1970s people that this is just... constant?

    D&D 5E Vecna prequel Nest of the Eldritch Eye for $4.99 after Eve of Ruin drops on May 21!

    When I preordered it was because I wa under the impression that was the only way to get this adventure. I don’t know if I misunderstand but I feel a bit tricked into preordering. I don’t like preordering. I wouldn’t have done except that I wanted the adventure and thought I wouldn’t be able to...

    D&D 5E MCDMs Flee Mortals now on DnDBeyond

    They're not just getting a cut, though. They're positioning to gatekeep the entire third party industry. As demonstrated by @FitzTheRuke just a moment ago. People won't buy stuff if it's not on DDB, and WotC decides what's on DDB. So far that appears to be Critical Role, Ghostfire, Hit Point...
