Not sure if you were referring to the specific news in this post or in general - but for people who aren't aware he did write his own game with it's own system Phoenix Dawn Command Haven't had a chance to play it, but I've been intrigued by the concept - PCs are people that have have died are...

Quick summary, Graeme Barber wrote the initial draft and turned it over to Wizards for playtesting with permission to let them make changes without contacting him. He acknowledges he didn't understand the process and assumed they'd still follow up if there were significant changes, so was...

Just got my kickstarter version - agree with the people commenting on how nice it turned out, especially like the silver edge - I tried to get a pic to show off to others but couldn't really capture the sparkles that really seem to add to the effect of the edging. If anybody is on the fence...

Ran a modified bit from Phandelver, and was planning to run Forge of Fury and/or White Plume Mountain from Tales of Yawning portal and maybe some adventures from Candlekeep Mysteries or Radiant Citadel. Was actually looking forward to seeing what the Keys From the Golden Vault since the...

The experience of Orion Black was the most detailed D&D 5E - Orion Black No Longer a D&D Designer [UPDATED!] I remember hearing similar stories coming out on the Magic side of wotc but am not as into that side to know names to look up. There's also been stories like dndbeyond employees having...

Agreed that the commentary following the comic is worth a read. I wasn't expect the penny-arcade folks to come out so strongly given their history with WOTC, though sounds like they don't have an ongoing deal for doing Acquisitions Inc (which itself is a little surprising to me and I think says...

Not to put pressure on him, but a major factor is probably that Morrus is asleep

I would suggest people not read too much into how they talk about it tonight since they now pre-record their shows and the D&D beyond plug is likely under contractual obligations. I'm not sure how far in advance the recordings are, but it's possible it was before the news even broke, and...

I think they’re not too involved with the rpg side but with buying asmodee have definitely become a major player in general tabletop gaming. I’m more familiar with them being involved with a bunch of video game studios but they also have some other media too (big one being Dark Horse comics). I...

The Electronic Frontier Foundation just posted about the the situation on their blog Beware the Gifts of Dragons: How D&D’s Open Gaming License May Have Become a Trap for Creators

Interested to see where this goes - by far the most 3rd party things I bought have been from Kobold press both during 4e days and since the switch to 5e

For now I suspect my group would rather stay with 5e and I plan to mainly rely on homebrew and 3rd party stuff I have or can continue to get depending on how the OGL situation goes. I Depending on how things shake out and what OGL-based things are able to stick around I think I'm looking at the...

They have a deal with OneBookShelf similar to the DMs Guild, but no open license as far as I'm aware. https://support.drivethrurpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037116592

A few of the open systems I'm aware of Blades in the Dark - creative commons by attribution Mork Borg - uses own license that is basically saying you're free to use it as you want other than using actual art assets or making it seem like it's officially endorsed, as well as banning NFTs based on...

The narrative director for the game just posted a link to the hiring page today which suggests it's still being worked on

it's been available a little while now DriveThruRPG.com

Latest deal is for Vault of Magic - a great collection of magic items. 50% off hard copies (including the limited edition cover) and only $5 for the pdf.

Since I find the mechanics clunky if I can ever convince my group to play Shadowrun I've thought I'd probably hack the Leverage Cortex rpg. I was surprised when I looked to see if anybody had already done the same thing and couldn't find anything as of a few years back. My simple thought was to...

The shuld be selling point of the whoever designs a new VTT so it can work with everything - oh wait xkcd comic about standards

With the caveat that I haven't really used Fantasy Grounds - but my impression was it's able to import files from the user, so the things on DMs guild are just distributing those files and doesn't need anything from Fantasy Grounds' end. This seems to be more coupling DMs Guild with the Roll20...
