This is my understanding, please correct me if I’m wrong somewhere on facts, much speculation I’m sure you disagree with also included. The new OGL 1.1 will more restrictive/specific/profitable for WoTC. It will be less good for the creator. Any SRD released under OGL 1.1 can be used under...

I would also be curious about this. They seem remarkably passive. Like EVERYTHING they’ve published is available in .pdf with just no more effort than a Google search. I’m sure there are obstacles with doing something about that on server locations and boarders and what not, but just seems...

I can’t find any copy of what WoTC sent him. Just him being crabby about it, and going on long tangents on what he thinks is copyrightable. I give Zero crap about his legal opinions, but would like to see what claims WoTC made.

What new players want, expect, can understand, and will enjoy is far more varied than you think.

I think monetizing AI generated art or writing or anything is legally questionable. I mean I can see copywrited works and learn from them and produce original works. But AI isn’t learning, in the same way, everything behind its works is traceable to a source. I put your work into my program...

It’s an incredibly well structured adventure, but yeah, also pretty bog standard theme and details. The generic done really well is why people appreciate it I think

I think a Forgotten Realms adventure, wide ranging like SKT or ToD, but not on the Sword Coast, somewhere else, Sea of Fallen Stars, maybe a bit much, Western Sea of Fallen Stars perhaps and a setting book to go with it.

You play 5e, are not allergic to it, so I think the Dark Souls take on it would be a great choice for you. Outside of 5e I’d say Twilight 2k but sadly, came out in November 2021, still an essential RPG pickup. weird? How about Slugblaster? Might be hard to find, but I think the few prints of...

I get real a-hole player vibes out of this. Think I’d be happy to see you walk. You seem to be expecting a DM to have an open world ala Witcher 3 fully fleshed out for you. Like, when presented with Options A, B, and C you pull a haha, came up with D. Then get pissed you can tell the DM just...

I think if you combine SCAG with SKT, cut out a bunch of fat, and take the relevant MM monsters needed for the adventure you get a 128 page setting, 128 page adventure, and 64 page monsters…and you see what an awesome three book slipcase could be. Seriously, if you imagine all that as new stuff...

In combat healing is pretty trash in 5e, but I’d combine this with gritty rests, or some other greater out of combat limitation. 5e is too much out of combat healing, too little in. Healing is a real bad use of reasources in combat unless you totally control the action economy and have actions...

I don’t think most people read the PHB or MM either. They’re all boring as pants, but useful when you want to know stuff like how Druids work or what Mind Flayers are like or what a staff of bird calls can do. Being way less essential, and pretty poorly organized, people just are less aware of...

The length of rests, and availability of them, is largely unimportant, but it’s all we talk about. What is important is creating a scarcity of resources (HP and Spell Slots and other abilities) in the face of encounters. In my mind, players should face a need to do more and survive more than...

The future is gonna be good. Don’t Panic. All they said is way more D&D than you’re used to. Try to enjoy. Be not afraid, they like their fans.

This seems to be the issue. Combined with people believing they don’t need to know the rules to be able to play D&D. Like, 3 people sitting around with a shrink wrapped copy of Wingspan going on Reddit looking a fourth to join their group and run a game for them would be silly. But for some...

I think when WoTC gets more specific on certain rules, they’re going for more rules clarity. It seems like a reasonable goal for 1D&D, greater official clarity for so they have to answer less questions, AL is standardized, and VTT integration or whatever virtualization they’re working on has a...

I don’t know what you guys are talking about, my spells go up to 11!

There is no bottom, stop trolling for it. The worst attempt at homebrew is more creative than clickbait slagging it.

Why does FIFA still exist? Seems like about 5 European countries and 2 South American could get together and start a replacement that would have immediate legitimacy, a World Cup w/o Brazil and France wouldn’t count, countries would join the new one, which sure, might immediately become just as...

The original adventures were released, or finished, before 5e rules finalized, so they have always been a lil janky. And for some reason, never previously truly fixed for later printings. Calm down. That’s all this is. The clean up maybe will give some hints about future, but doubt it...
