    Wizards of the Coast Hiring New Lead Designer and Head of Game Ecosystem for D&D

    I doubt they have a plan for 203x (schedule for playtests to get to a 2034 release, or a plan for an update then in the first place). They might do something because it then is 60 years of D&D, but not because it is 20 years of 5e. I would not be surprised if we see a second revision before...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    same, life continues just like before, the only thing that has changed is my stance on Goodman. Saves me some money

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    given that none of these threads would exist without GG printing CSIO, the platforming of Bledsaw is a direct consequence of Goodman’s decision I’d also argue that making people aware of something is not the same as platforming it

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    I assume the latter, given that the project is happening at all it could also be the former everyone can decide that for themselves, I have made my decision

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    no idea, apparently he was able to mention / confirm that he was under a confidentiality agreement at least, that is not always the case either. I assume that in that case he probably could have said a little more too, but as you wrote, I see no duress here anyway, just Goodman valuing the...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    If I tell the public that there will be no future projects based on JG material, then I check whether I can get out of all existing contracts first, or I hedge it and say that I will not enter any new ones and am looking into terminating all existing ones. The contract dispute still happens...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    the limit is to not pay license fees to JG directly, the short window probably serves the same purpose. The only thing that might be due to JG is that you do not get a PDF with the printed book, but even that could be about limiting the licensing fees. Also, if Goodman knew he had a contract...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    say one thing, do another when it makes you some money. You are not really a supporter of disenfranchised communities when you only offer words of solidarity while it is convenient and drop that pretense as soon as it gets in the way of you making a buck. GG quite literally sold out their...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    I assume these are multiple PDFs, just like there are multiple books. So think of it as 4 PDFs of $30 each plus some smaller ones

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    the original KS made 85k, JG gets around 10% of this KS. The number of products available is limited at the cut-off point so JG should never get money due to too many sales. The one variable is whether all the backers of the JG version now, over 10 years later, hear about the option to /...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    the price for PDFs is pretty arbitrary, I am used to them being around 50% of the print price, but then there are 50% off sales and sometimes bundles that are 80-90% off. So I see this as following the print price again, except that they went with 65% which is pretty high. You do get 800 pages...

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    So this contains the CSIO itself a Wilderlands Gazetteer of the surrounding area with details on 100 cities and villages, so a decent chunk of area Thunderhold, a dwarven citadel Wraith Overlord, the dungeons for CSIO No wonder this will be their last JG project, there is nothing left after...

    jeez, $200 for the print was kinda expected, but $130 for some pdfs? Well, was not gonna back this anyway ;)

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    it’s also a lot harder to live without a phone or electricity than it is to do without a new version of CSIO. I don’t buy into the whole ‘if you tolerate one not so great thing you might as well jump fully into the cesspool’ narrative, it is an excuse to do nothing

    Goodman Games: Our Efforts Have Been Mischaracterized

    Guilty of what though? Guilty of being bigots? no, most are not saying that. Guilty of making bad decisions that affect their reputation and some people prefer they would not have made? definitely. Just saying 'but we are the good guys and are for inclusion' is not enough, practice what you preach.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    10% discount is generous already, that money went to JG who blew it, not to GG. You are basically asking GG to give their product away for free to some random people who happened to ‘buy’ a product GG had nothing to do with, makes about as much sense as giving a copy to people who stayed at a...
