They've already said they are good if the OGL goes away.

Yeah it's set about 500 years before the End Times, so around the time Mordheim gets blasted to kingdom come and during the time of the 3 Emperors.

I prefer simpler games without some of the crazier dials of D&D5e myself. It is simple, smooth, much like it's origin game BRP but more modern. It leaves room for house rules and homebrew as well. Boss fights feel like very hairy situations and not just whittling down meat sacks of hitpoints. I...

I agree with this 100%, I think it is just very odd the way some people think homebrew NEEDS support like sourcebooks and rules, to me that is the opposite of homebrew. A book like Dungeonscape was super cool and it helped me build my own dungeons for sure but I always felt that I had plenty of...

My take on homebrew is making it up myself. I don’t need WOTC to do it for me.

Way to miss the whole forest. Bye.

The environmental books of 3e were hardly needed or even useful for homebrewing. Nor were the survival guides.

Both? Depends on the player and the world.

It's the ultimate DIY edition. It has more dedicated to home brewing than 1e did. The DMG is all about homebrewing and does an excellent job at it and I say this as a guy who has, as weird as it sound, played since before his wife was born but she's 34 and I'm 47 so quit being weird about it. :p

1.6 million is a HUGE loss https://www.enworld.org/threads/5e-lifetime-sales-in-north-american-big-box-stores-revealed.698946/ that is 96 MILLION dollars. Even if WOTC is selling them for like 13 a piece to distribution, that is 14 million dollars lost. That is the PHB alone. The DMG at 800k...

Yeah sure but book stores according to the sales leak was a massive part of the continued, ongoing success of 5e, whether your town had one or not. Parents were picking them up in those stores and also Targets and Walmarts. If they were using Random House that's a big hit too because that was a...

Are there any outside the hobby chains?

5e is DIY. That was the plan from the beginning of the playtest. Settings outside of The Sword Coast weren’t even a strong consideration and footnotes for conversion in the books were maybe a couple short sentences. So… the edition that has been a strong DIY until the last, what, 3 years, with...

This is a massive hit in sales, most of the sales for 5e were bookstores and Amazon.

I’m sure FR will continue to get support. It’s a cash cow.

Gygax making AD&D, he needed to differentiate from BASIC D&D and added a moral compass to the alignments because the three classic alignments were too broad and because Arneson was suing.

Elric was hopping planes in book 1. I mean fair enough, you can do that in your game, that's the one thing all this tooth gnashing is forgetting is part of WOTC's whole marketing, it is YOUR GAME, they just provide tools.

yeah I goofed B-)

guidelines is the opposite of sparse, don't be selective and read the manual.

My mistake, brain fart, like bad LOL
