I’ve been itching to do Worlds Without Number. I had already shared the free download version with all my players letting them get prepared. It’s D&D-imitative in an enough of mechanical ways to get running. Compatible with B/X adventures. Can even borrow the psionic classes from Stars Without...

Atlas games released an update to their Planegea Kickstarter with a statement about OGL 1.1, Planegea: The Prehistoric 5th Edition Campaign Setting. They will not use 1.1 as it has been described in leaks.

Be aware you’re going to get the people taking your calls lower NPS scores when people who aren’t wise to this campaign call in. Hope for discipline all you want. Those other people calling in will reduce their ratings, affecting reviews later.

You have worked on a far more functional call center than I do. I‘ve never seen a high call load result in near-term introspection by the legal or product teams.

Strong disagree. Not a good idea. Non-believable assumption that in this hoped for high call volume event that any caller that has waited a long time to get through will behave anything definable as polite. Extremely likely such a person will leave a dump review based on the call wait time...

If the version we have seen in leaked excerpts is the actual final OGL 1.1 to be publicly released next week, it seems to me remarkable that WotC incinerating fan good will over on the MtG line didn’t dissuade them from doing the same with D&D’s fan base. But I have been itching for an excuse...

That’s fair, but in a defense it was turned into a [+] thread in an update after I posted.

I agree. I also think the only voices that matter to bean counters and shareholder-capitalists at Hasbro are the responses of major 3rd party publishers.

What we know is way down the chain of a game of telephone. People confirming they have seen the leaked version. No evidence the leaked version is the one that will be presented on the 13th.

Last night I read it was still a version from early December, not a confirmed final.

The final OGL 1.1 hasn’t been released and there’s already a petition it needs change?

Worlds Without Number didn’t have the OGL in it last I checked. There’s a lot in WWN that people who have played D&D will recognize. It was designed with the core of B/X in mind with a skill system based on Traveller. Heck the core rules are freely available to download.

I agree. I’ve swapped in these versions at my table and each one my players have loved. But the minion rules have been such a great spice to add. But the new vampire in packet 4, finally feels CR13.

The Beedle and Grimm editions were delivered with the errata this past month.

I appreciated that there was a Players version of the booklet with the character rules. Having a separate book to hand out is going to be handy.

I also got the platinum Spelljammer. It’s my first Beedle and Grimm set. Burnside has summarized it well. My biggest wish is that there was some improved way to store everything rather than inside the foam-filled box it came in because it would improve getting at it!

I got it finally. I like this iteration a lot. (I bought the platinum Beedle and Grimm’s version, which was printed with the errata!) My first intro to AD&D was playing Spelljammer. I know people say it is a setting in its own, but I never felt that. As a player I always felt it was a way to...

I like this as an option in a toolbox for trying to add some of a survival horror style that early D&D editions evoked. I can think of more to for such a play style toolbox too.

And only things that reward shareholders by being obviously profitable, not marginally hopefully profitable despite a history otherwise.

It is curious how the Great Man Theory of leadership finds new ways to be reasserted.
