Wow! They made a D&D movie that people actually went to watch, must have been nothing better to watch this weekend (@Reddit John Wick fans! :eek: )... But now we know how to make a D&D movie that makes $150M... Spend $300M! ;) Or has Chris Pine's acting gotten better since his last movie? 🤪

Let me correct you... Finally, the GUNMONK will get a chance to shine! ;) Or I could see a Monk/Warlock doing this, he just needs to make gun-fingers an shout "Pew-Pew!"... "What are you doing?" "I have a really weird Great Old One patron, called John Woo..."

When the AI throws an exception, it just defaults to: "Throw for Initiative!" (and in the background throws on the random encounter table)...

It looks good, it looks very good! BUT, this is WotC and my experience with WotC electronic D&D products for the last 25 years has been horrible! (note: No experience with D&D Beyond) Not only was their function feature set often lacking, the promised the moon and never delivered, but the most...

The Alien Queen wants that picture taken down! "I did not approve images taken before I put on my makeup!" ;)

Slavery is not the only problematic content in DS, there is more, way more. I'm not saying that it can't technically be made without it, I'm saying that it kinda stops being DS. It's like portraying historical Roman Empire without the blood sport Colosseum (and all that entails). Slavery in DS...

Whoa! I know you're acting with your Mod hat on. But I am not casting being kind, thoughtful and respectful as "<bad word>". Nor am I treating the desire for kindness as "<bad word>", which is by the way very different from being actually kind. When you quote a very small section of what...

Copious amounts of smilies helps! ;)

Now flip this, how much of a mess would it create if that same IP holder choose to not do something? Like being inclusive? Sanitize means to clean something, that is not a particularly funny word. And that is exactly what companies like WotC are now doing, cleaning their IP/product of the...

This is an issue that won't be solved by sanitizing something like DS (or just not publishing it). I have utter faith in humanity's ability to be absolute f-ups! They don't need a setting like DS to be total a-holes to black people, women, or anyone else for that matter. Even if you have a...

It's 'ok' now, there is no one stopping you from writing fiction like that and there are loads of writers that do. There are whole fan groups writing, playtesting and actually playing Dark Sun for example. They are just not doing it for the money. And even if they are asking money for something...

Looking at Chris Pine's last unsuccessful movie from last year... $2.1 million.

Ban is a strong word, that is not what's happening here either. Certain publishers have identified their target audience and a large part of that doesn't want certain subject matter in the books they buy. That doesn't stop you or anyone else from making books with that subject matter, just don't...

As others have mentioned TV/Movie/book/comic are all already scripted media. Pnp RPGs isn't scripted, that is the whole point. As a DM I might portray the evil torturer or slaver, but I have a different investment into my Player Character. If I was playing an evil torturer or slaver as a PC that...

Maybe it's because English isn't my native language, but as quoted AMU appears to be going back on it's 'word', but I assume there is a contract in place with legal options to get out of the contractual relationship and those exit options have been used. In my book, that means (legal)...

I was around in gaming since 1987-1988, so yeah I know of the the "Kindred: The Embraced" (1996). Honestly it was horrible! It was 8 episodes, they only showed 7 and it was cancelled. As I was playing Vampire: The Masquarade at the time, I found it completely lacking the atmosphere of VtM, some...

That was Dungeon #95, the first Dungeon under Paizo publication at the time (95-150), marked on the front page as "Sex, drugs & demon lords". It was a sealed adventure that tied in with the Book of Vile Darkness release, pretty much the only 'mature' D&D book at that time... I suspect that that...

In the past White Wolf had a couple of imprints, one was: The title that reminds me the most of this brand was: HoL (Human occupied Landfill), but there are more notorious books under that imprint. But White Wolf was already pretty niche, dark and horrific, especially when their most popular...

The issue is not 'risk of controversy' in general, it is 'risk of controversy' for large and growing brands by large companies. WotC is huge, Paizo is probably the next largest pnp RPG company and something like Star Wars RPG might be big, but it also needs to be approved by Disney. They stopped...

While I agree that WotC has moved into a position in the market that will result them making products that might no longer appeal to 'older' D&D fans (they already have from my perspective). And we should look at others to fill in the gaps. Your premise is a bit faulty, because others insist...
