    WotC Shannon Appelcline the layoffs and the OGL fiasco.

    Hasbro bought WotC in 1999. DnD 3E & the OGL launched in 2000. I agree though, this is just another round of Hasbro/WotC Layoffs and it just feels worse because of everything Hasbro has been doing this past year with WotC. However, as someone who runs 2 comic & game stores and is an action...

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    I run 2 comic & game stores in Kentucky. One of the things I've noticed from publisher, manufacturers, and even other retailers is that quite a few of them didn't realize the 2020 & 2021 spikes were due to extra time people had and the extra money people had. It was a wonderful aberration but it...

    Shadowrun 1st Edition To Be Reprinted

    Didn't they change the die type right before publication to d6? Are thy going to keep the TN 7s? LOL Shadowrun is its own monster.

    D&D 5E D&D's Inclusivity Language Alterations In Core Rules

    Switching "chaos" for "madness" or "insanity" is an interesting choice as "Chaos" is a big part of DnD and I think for some DMs it's not the best word. As someone who is mentally ill I think having a mad or insane antagonist can suggest they can be helped. However, if it the words are hurting...

    D&D (2024) So what's with 2024 and beyond?

    Sadly, I don't think Hasbro will allow them to push anything back. Didn't Crawford already talk about their printing window?

    Grade the GURPS System

    Kromm and David Culver, IMO, are part of the problem. GURPS has had the same vision for close to 30 years and sometimes that is a bad thing. We won't ever know if it could be more than that as long as Steve is alive & Kromm is in charge of the line. Steve's focus on TFT shows us that yes he...

    Dragonlance: Shadow of the Dragon Queen & Warriors of Krynn Review

    Thanks for tackling the many moving parts of the projects within this setting. I completely understand making campaigns for these older settings but their charm, IMO, was a published setting with smaller adventures. However, it's really hard to lean into nostalgia and make things accessible. I...

    Statement on OGL from WotC

    I think people should realize we need a full version of One D&D as a set of rules before we can get an SRD.

    What's All This About The OGL Going Away?

    With Hasbro's current state I'm uncertain what WotC will be allowed to do, but I'd have to think that the passive revenue from DnD Classics and the DM's Guild are enough to let those continue. I'm sure many people make good money off or 5E stuff, but in my experience as a very, very small...

    Here Comes THE WALKING DEAD TTRPG!

    I think this KS's success will be more about a statement of Free League than of Walking Dead.

    WotC WotC's Chris Perkins On D&D's Inclusivity Processes Going Forward

    What boggles me is that I'm fairly certain the M:tG team was already using sensitivity consultants and I'd have thought the DnD team would too.

    RPG Evolution: When Half the Party Shows Up

    We have a back-up game for times when the party is smaller due to scheduling conflicts.

    The Monty Python TTRPG Kickstarter Just Went Live!

    I guess I'm in a very, very, very small minority who isn't interested in this. I'm glad its doing well and I hope its a lot of fun.

    WotC Ray Winninger Steps Back From WotC

    Watching what WotC has done with M:tG I think we'll see more products fairly soon in 1 DnD's life cycle. Probably something about every 6 weeks. And WotC has already shown they could prioritize purchase directly through them. The Dragonlance Digital + Physical bundle gets you access to the...

    WotC Dragonlance: Everything You Need For Shadow of the Dragon Queen

    Sometimes the DM chooses to limit some things. I think that approach is okay and I think "its all D&D so you can choose any class or race" is also okay.

    WotC Dragonlance: Everything You Need For Shadow of the Dragon Queen

    Exactly! It was the Best of D&D times & the Worst of D&D times.

    WotC Forbes’ Brett Knight visits Wizards of the Coast.

    But they have that and it appears they are phasing it out, I'm assuming, due to a cost benefit analysis and that is what I find so confusing. I spend time on Transformer boards and the word on there is that Hasbro is moving away from eOne because they couldn't achieve a MCU like universe for its...
