it was in the context of DDB and how many users that now has, so I assume it was D&D Beyond sales. Maybe all direct sales, including print, through their website

according to WotC's quarterly statements, digital is now about 60% of sales I believe

must be all the people checking how this thing counts :D

sounds like it, but how often do you get to claim free stuff etc.... All things being equal, less engagement is less engagement. It's not a spike in subscribers that is hidden by a drop off from people staring at their free LMoP for the last 18 months and are finally tired of looking at it...

too early to tell for the former, it is not the latter however, the drop goes from April to June, that is not a summer drop

we have about April 2024 up to the release of the new PHB, and it had higher user numbers than we have now… A falling trendline is never good, regardless of how much or how little data you have before that section. Will be interesting to see where the line goes from here, I doubt this year’s...

sure, but that cause is not limited to private companies. There is nothing about TSR’s failure that cannot happen to any company, regardless of its structure how so? To me the only difference is that their problem was not reflected in their stock price, but many companies took on too much debt...

they operate in a similar enough way. Not everyone can purchase them freely and their price is a lot less transparent, but you do get the voting rights that come with being a shareholder

did you accidentally switch this one?

there were shares and there was a share price, albeit a pretty arbitrarily assigned one

Best Cartography, Best Monster, Product of the Year nominations for Lands of Eem… now I am really curious about it ;)

The post right above yours does list Amazon the ranking for the PHB...

I am not sure that they disagree that they benefit from the OGL material, changing the terms does not imply that they do not benefit, only that they wanted to squeeze out more. Also, they can disagree and be wrong at the same time. Business people do not strike me as ones that generally...

you have no right for it to be licensed that way, you have every right to ask for it however WotC is not suffering because of the OGL / CC, all the content made under it for their game is benefiting D&D sales, that is why they created the OGL in the first place. they waived that right, and...

yes, that is why I said if you ignore size... SD does have a few larger ones too though, like https://dungeondamsel.com/product/unnatural-selection-standard-edition-pdf/ On a related note, how long would it take to create a DH class?

how soon did SD get 3pp products? I assume it is simply still too early… Maybe not being part of the homebrew-heavy OSR also has something to do with it, at least if you count the number of releases only and ignore their size

it won't make them into the new D&D, that was helped by the network effect, but it probably will get more people to create content for their game than a closed license would. The one thing I can see them having second thoughts about is to not just allow content for their game to be created, but...

I assume it is the fact the DP reserves the right to revoke the license, at which point you can no longer use it for new material (while the old material is ‘safe’ under it) and choose to either release an updated license or to just revoke it After we had the irrevocable OGL, I guess people are...

mostly at how brief it is though ;)

what in the Rob Schwalb games do you think is inspired by 4e?
