The optimistic side of me thought that there were people inside WotC who thought revocation of OGL 1.0a was bad idea but couldn't say it outright. So they used the cover of a survey to get what they wanted. Maybe I'm wrong. But in any case I used the survey to say my perception of WotC was...

Currently reading Masks of Nyarlathotep now. My friend back in the day had the original version and I remember loving all the handouts and extras. The current version is very expensive but, boy howdy, does it have lots and lots of handouts and extras. You'll also learn lots of Earth trivia...

I currently own only one part of The Enemy Within, Death on the Reik. Bought it in 1990 or so at a used book store for $7.50, according to the sticker on the back. What recommendation do you have (or anyone else) to get a copy of the other parts?

I pay zero in monthly subscription fees to play D&D right now.

I plan on quoting WOTC's own FAQ back at them when I fill out the survey.

The Enemy Within for Warhammer.

Several of us have been saying over and over that the ultimate goal of Hasbro is to get players to fork over $5/mo to play D&D. This article is a timely reminder as to a probable impetus for such a decision.

The number of people who are aware of what's going on is far beyond what I would have thought. I've seen it crop in a number of places and when someone makes a comment indicating they don't understand the short explanation that usually follows invariably makes Hasbro look terrible. The movie...

Those kind of people were only ever looking for an excuse to give Hasbro their money. It's the kind of behavior that deserves mockery. It's what Hasbro is hoping for. The mushy middle that finds conflict icky.

If this reasoning is actually their reason then they should just cancel the entirety of Midgard and pulp every book they own. And strip mine every monster book and eliminate any monster recognizably influenced by any Earth culture.

Keys from the Golden Vault blurb says there is a "heist at the center of every tale". After Dragon Heist wasn't very heist-y I hope I'm not hasty in saying "fool me once..." to this one. Glory of the Giants - maybe The Book of Many Things - no. I've never really been interested in the Deck of...

Same here. The existence of the review made me open and follow along looking at all the books and trinkets.

What's crazy is I started playing Magic 30 years ago and have tens of thousands of dollars in cards (very played cards) sitting in boxes somewhere. Moxen, multilands, a Black Lotus somewhere. I never bring them out to play because who would I play with?

At the point people give up and accept what Hasbro is doing will also be the same time many of them accept they won't be buying any more D&D. It's the seven (or five. I've listed seven) stages of grief. Fans and Hasbro are in Stage 3. If Hasbro backs down they will go through the other 4...

People who play games where they fight evil wizards have a Wizard to slay. People who rules lawyer for fun have new rules to lawyer over. Tens of thousands of people getting to do in real life what they've been doing with a fantasy game for years. How did WotC think this was ever going to play out?

1. Level Up from EnWorld is my fave. Best Humans I've ever seen. 2. Midgard (various products) from Kobold Press 3. Ptolus 5e from Monte Cook Games 4. Cthulu Mythos from Sandy Petersen Games OGL but not 5e: 5. Calidar setting from Calidar Publishing OG (not OGL, just OG) 6. Harn from...

How is what we see a step forward from what already exists?

Yes. Someone needs to interview a Hasbro rep and point blank ask this as a question. Also, it's about destroying VTT competition.

Hasbro wants the owlbear back as IP. Guess what monster is featured in the new D&D movie?

At some point someone realized they made a movie with an owlbear in it and the owlbear wasn't even Hasbro IP. Whoops.
