    D&D General WotC Founder Peter Adkison On Hasbro's Layoffs

    They are also not in a position to be targeted due to their debts being leveraged or taken over by group that will saddle the company with very loan used to do a hostile take over. There's pros and cons to both strategies. It's not a sexy but slow, steady growth is nothing to be ashamed of.

    D&D General WotC Founder Peter Adkison On Hasbro's Layoffs

    And it's been rigged from day one that if you are not part of the "club" you are never going to get the same amount of ROI for your investment. Did I ever tell you how much I got off that Facebook IPO? Nothing because it was never open to the actual public to buy. I'd agree with you more if...

    D&D General WotC Founder Peter Adkison On Hasbro's Layoffs

    I'd take an honest pension over this gambling over the crumbs we get as a thank you, Those rich dude playing with all our retirement money in bulk will still retire in style and complain it wasn't enough for their "work." Meanwhile, I still might not get nothing, like back in the aughts when my...

    D&D General WotC Founder Peter Adkison On Hasbro's Layoffs

    Or to add to the frustration, how high up that ladder is and how much you play golf with your fellow CEOs. They don't call them golden parachutes for nothing. I get the feeling once their pet project of pitching "The real money is in D&D Beyond subs! Let's make it a truly walled garden and...

    Steve Jackson Games Announces 2024 Release Schedule

    Yep, you no longer need a speed/phase chart that is as long as the map. It's fun and there are some pre-constructed car so you play out of the box. Perhaps the "killer app" of the game is the base a car sits on. Most of the base is raised so you can fit your turn template under the car. Once...

    MCDM's New Tactical TTRPG Hits $1M Crowdfunding On First Day!

    As a couple of side notes: For a non D&D game, I am surprised by the amount of posting. Many non-D&D news goes uncommented on here Good for Matt that he's reached this level of (Even my non-D&D games get D&D people excited.) OTH, I remember how Matt went on about simplifying 5e. This doesn't...

    MCDM's New Tactical TTRPG Hits $1M Crowdfunding On First Day!

    It's more than just that. A lot of paper has shifted from printing to shipping boxes and there's an international tree shortage. Ken and Robin explain it better. https://www.kenandrobintalkaboutstuff.com/index.php/episode-503-distinctively-muppety/

    Worlds of Design: Reassessing Tolkien’s Influence

    Our group had fun and our DM never seemed stressed and had a great time as well, so "a very poor DM" may be subjective in this case.

    Worlds of Design: Reassessing Tolkien’s Influence

    That never stopped our AD&D groups. We just all played elves and joked about how helpless humans were as a species. Sadly B/X was seen as a kiddie game. It's a real surprise to see that become the OSR darling. One of the better ways to keep power creep down is to not do a levelling game at...

    D&D General D&D Beyond Launches 2023's Official D&D Advent Calendar

    Funniest thing. My gf handed me a gift with a card saying, "Santa instructs you to open this give on Dec. 1st." Turned out it was 5e's advent calendar from last year! Weird thing is that I was looking for a D&D advnet calendar all year long and it never showed up in my Google Fu. There were...

    GMing with Joy: GM Tools That Can Last a Lifetime

    To me, this is one of D&D's selling points, the promise of a long term campaign. Players and GMs keep striving for that holy grail of a long lasting campaign - even when RL keeps getting in their way

    RPG Crowdfunding News – TMNT, Grimtooth, Eclipsed Phase, and more

    Holy spit, I forgot about thief percentage skills. Probably because I blocked them out of my mind. Doing zero to hero leveling with a class that I wanted to so much more with was my pet peeve. More power to those who loved doing the thief that way, but it wasn't my style for a class I wanted to...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – TMNT, Grimtooth, Eclipsed Phase, and more

    From what I understand, the Savage World Rifts team was the first game designers to come to Kevin and NOT say, "We would like to do Rifts in another system because yours sucks!" Turns out not the best sales pitch to the guy who designed the system. :ROFLMAO: . And with percentage skills, does...

    D&D Adventurers League Unveils New DungeonCraft Document with Planescape In Focus

    Nothing is stopping people from writing their own Planescape adventures whichever fashion they prefer for the DMs Guild. These guidelines only apply if the writer wants their adventures considered for Planescape Adventurers League adventures, which is a more codified way to play the game as it...
