    Imagine Reflections #2

    It's always tough with the things Gygax said because, despite being the president of the company, the big financial backing in the company came from other people who expected to have a say in things. So you had two Gary's (at least): Gary "Here's how I play but do whatever you want" Gygax and...

    D&D General Hasbro activist begins proxy fight, urges Dungeons & Dragons spinoff

    I see zero chance that WotC would be spun off. Looking at Hasbro's share valuation since 1985, it's largest gains have been after 2010. That hedge fund is also wrong, Hasbro stock is worth more now than 5 years ago. It's worth 97.98 right now and in Feb. 2017 is was barely over 85. There was...

    TTRPGS, Blockchains, and NFTs

    It's totally a scam because there is zero inherent value to it. It's not even a license. The closest equivalency that I can think of is an Internet link. I can make an internet link to any webpage I want whether or not I'm involved in the website. I then sell that link for $5 a pop. The...

    AD&D 1E Do you miss Demons and Devils?

    The introduction of Challenge Ratings has really changed things, IMO. From 3E on, the expectation is generally going to be that anything you encounter will be "balanced". That certainly wasn't true in many of the older modules where the safest approach to something could be to avoid it. It...

    D&D 5E (2014) Multiverse Theory and you

    Not recently. Back in the 2E days, I did a homebrew/Greyhawk/Brittania (from the Ultima video games) crossover that I thought was interesting.

    D&D 5E (2014) What 3 Settings did you pick in the Survey

    I voted: 1. Homebrew (created from scratch) 2. Greyhawk 3. Dragonlance The weird thing about Dragonlance/Krynn is there are conflicting canon sources. The original modules were fairly standard 1E fare. There were some differences - no Orcs, Kender instead of ½lings, etc. but was otherwise...

    D&D General Lorraine Williams: Is it Time for a Reevaluation?

    No, it is not time for a reevaluation - she was terrible. A lot of cool stuff came out during her tenure, but she didn't create any of that. She didn't create anything. Almost none of the upper management at TSR under her were people who created anything or, in fact, even gamed at all. Het...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Beyond Cancels Competition

    I do work for a patent/IP law firm. First of all, let me say that "law" is very complex; that's why you have lawyers and firms making crazy amount of money. Ownership law is particularly complex and very particular and "art" is it's own subsection of that. This is the kind of contest that...

    Wheel of Time November Launch. The next GOT or the next Shannara Chronicles?

    By the time I started reading WoT, the first 4 books were already out and Book 5 came out soon after. For the most part, I enjoyed the first 6 books. There were some very weird pacing issues prior but Book 7 drove me nuts. That was '96 or '97 and I didn't touch the series again until 2018...

    Check Out The Cover of the Upcoming Doctor Who: Second Edition RPG!

    One thing with licensing Doctor Who is that the BBC requires that the current Doctor always be front and center of any product. The game originally came in a box that had Tennant on the cover. In less than a year, they had to change it to Matt Smith on the cover as he was the current Doctor...

    Planescape Casting off Planescape Part 2: Beginning the Quest

    Which experience table you use might depend on how long your campaigns run. A wizard starts advancing faster than a priest at the mid to upper levels.

    4e rules will make some games much harder to run

    More true for 3.5 than 3.0. We never used a battlemat until 3.5. We had played D&D for 20+ years without a battlemat and saw no need in 3.0. The rules for things like AoO's and such in 3.0 were so poorly written that you were pretty much guessing your way through it half the time anyway (and...
