    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    that is exactly how it is being used, that you use it differently does not change that, but it certainly adds confusion the principle is still valid. If I compare 1 < 5 and 5 < 7 to establish that principle, then you can also arrive at 1 < 3 even when it was not one of the examples used to...

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    the ‘problem’ is that both the steak and the omelette in my analogy are called a sandbox in this thread, so to stick with the analogy he in effect was saying ‘dish’ when he meant ‘omelette’ and others were thinking ‘steak’

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    no, more open = less restrictive, I am not wrong, that is how it is generally being used when comparing the openness of licenses. That you use it differently does not make me wrong The license is more open, the publisher and what they release under it is irrelevant to this they don’t have to...

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    ah, I read that more as an ‘it would enable people / 3pps to create that’ while WotC would stick with their current approach of class-specific subclasses

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    how so? We already have class specific spell lists, what is missing is general ones. All classes advancing at the same levels does not affect complexity at all

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    I read it as ‘it doesn’t matter how good / fast it is at creating an omelette when I want to eat a steak’, i.e. if it is fast at creating a sandbox I have no interest in, then it being fast at doing so by sacrificing the things I do have an interest in does not help it one bit.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    you are using ‘open’ differently from anyone else. Usually more open = fewer restrictions, which makes CC-BY the more open license. “CC-BY or Creative Commons Attribution is considered the most open of the CC licenses” https://libguides.hartford.edu/c.php?g=887688&p=6380445 “[CC-BY] This the...

    D&D 5E (2014) According to the Hasbro Q1 earning call D&D sales are up substantially.

    that certainly did not help, but if people buy 50% more printed books, why do people not also buy more of them on DDB? Ultimately we cannot say whether contributing 1 to the 46% growth means it did not grow or whether digital did grow but is that much smaller compared to print. That could be an...

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    I mean, if I can come up with it in a minute, I hope 3pps have at least as good an idea :D

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    no, I was referring to the 'ask the oracle' part to determine details of the quest / location / whatever. There are plenty of books you can use for that, that 5e does not cover this in its core books does not mean you cannot play 5e that way, it only means that WotC had other priorities. Here...

    WotC Would you buy WotC products produced or enhanced with AI?

    yeah, that already is not how AI does it… EDIT: for something closer to what AI does look at ‘Praise You’ by Fatboy Slim You can jump to 17:30 where they have constructed the song from the various samples. Every color is a sample taken from a different track

    Wizards of the Coast Says That China Tariffs Will Have Minimal Impact on D&D

    Right now, probably, which actually means something along the lines of making sure to fulfill the rest of the world without the product going through the US and delaying the US shipment until this nonsense has ended

    D&D 5E (2014) According to the Hasbro Q1 earning call D&D sales are up substantially.

    it’s definitely a bump as you have people ‘upgrading’ in addition to the new players coming in that D&D always had. What the numbers will look like after the upgrade phase, no one knows, they could stay higher than the 2014 ‘baseline’ due to continued growth or not. We won’t know for at least...

    or he could be more concerned about how the small publishers fare without wanting Hasbro to suffer more

    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    in the core books, there are plenty of books that do offer that. You could even use Ironsworn tables to generate a plot outline for D&D I assume.

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    WotC did not ask a single person though. Heck, I would not trust a single person with identifying the duds either :D

    D&D 5E (2014) According to the Hasbro Q1 earning call D&D sales are up substantially.

    yep, that works, 462.1 - 316.3 for WotC + Digital makes for a 46% increase. If we take that 143.8 increase as 46, then the Tabletop's 115.6 increase comes out to 37, i.e. its contribution to the overall 46% increase. Nice, so that resolves the % values. works for me, makes calculating the D&D...

    which is pretty similar to my 'it helps WotC to avoid real duds, but not to improve the game'
