MTG is another flagship product by the same company, and WotC has copied aspects of that model many times in the past. It’s silly to assume that they can’t or won’t again. It’s hardly conspiracy to speculate that they might use the same digital paywall tactics in Sigil as they’ve used in Arena...

EDIT: See below for my comments on monopoly What other VTTs have done is no barrier to what WotC can or will do with theirs. And no other VTT has had this level of investment or branding directly attached to it. It’s likely to be the biggest ever once it launches. You should be expecting that...

What’s nonsensical about it? WotC has implemented arbitrary restrictions on digital duplicates within multiple digital MTG platforms, because it enhances their revenue stream. Other games and platforms have done it too. Some folks here seem to have rose-coloured glasses about this platform...

This remains to be seen. It would trivially easy within the software to limit each instance of a mini to any arbitrary number at a time. Maybe the “common orc barbarian” mini lets you deploy three copies on the same map a simultaneously, but the “rare orc wizard” mini can only be used one at a...

1997–surely a typo?

…And now I’ve been quoted twice for my comment on grammar, and my own typos are like daggers to my eyes

I’m irrationally annoyed at the stray apostrophe in the text of the first image, “Orvly Bar and Pool, An Adventuring Hub for Low Level Campaign’s”. Campaign’s what?? Sloppy grammar in a title reflects very poorly on the content for me.

Awesome post! It’s a good reminder that these games are very abstract and we often forget how difficult the actual tasks involved really are

Exactly. It was another big digital project that promised the moon and went nowhere. In 2015 WotC’s defense, at least that time they had the wisdom to outsource so that it would be someone else’s problem when it inevitably failed. WotC has a long, terrible track record with this kind of thing...

I want to believe all of this, but I saw all this in 2008… and then in 2015… and my heart is still wounded. (Should I mention 3E’s promised “eTools” too?) Then again, the technology and market for VTTs has come a long way in 16 years… so MAYBE this time WotC won’t screw it up? Some good VTTs...

The kids don’t read books anymore, grandpa! 😋 There should probably be an Appendix T listing some inspirational TikToks though. /sarcasm

Cheers! Thanks. Lol you replied in the 10 seconds before I could correct my typo.

What’s “PB +7” in the CR line mean?

Exactly! Anything goes. The game promises no balance and doesn’t worry about it; every character is an experiment in natural selection anyway.

I love when it’s all DCC. There are other games I look for too, but the others I worry “How am I gonna incorporate this?” With DCC, it’s gonzo so I dont care, I throw everything into the soup.

I feel how I feel, can’t take that from me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Personally I just find this whole topic validating, considering that I still recall a certain prolific user on this forum implying that I was a liar and an idiot for thinking that this might be a new or revised edition of 5E and that WotC had been unclear on this. Evidently a large number of...

Thanks for the reply!

Anybody got a summary of who they’re displacing?

Amazing!
