Literally the first time anyone has used the words "Green Lantern" in a DCEU context that has even given me a hint of interest. But if it's Hal Jordan solving mysteries I'm back out again. DC needs to stop trying to convince people that Hal Jordan is interesting. He's such a charisma sink of a...

I mean, if they're going all in on the actual Damian Wayne from comics, you don't have to worry about it because there's no way it's going to be a "semi-realistic superhero story". Damian is the cloned son of Bruce Waye and Talia al'Ghul who has been trained to be an assassin since he could...

I mean, on the one had I'll take them at their word that it's a coding error. The "Settings ever published by Wizards/TSR" field crossed with the "Settings Wizards allows third parties to publish for on DM's Guild" in a bad way. On the other hand, what are Kingdom's of Kalamar and Wilderlands...

I mean, as soon as your predicted 50th anniversary Greyhawk release happens it'll happen :) (I'm curious to see if Greyhawk would get a massive uptake on DM's Guild or if the intersection of "folks who want to publish Greyhawk stuff" and "folks who want to publish for 5e" is too small to make...

That was the plan when they were eliminating the OGL 1.0a and moving to a new OGL. Adding older edition material to the CC-BY license made sense from their perspective to make people happy because it the OGL 1.0a was going away. From their perspective, backing off the OGL deauth serves the same...

This is all true, and there are a lot of examples of companies basically using the OGL as if it had no sharealike clause. However I will say that the OGL makes it a lot easier to share material than a CC-BY license does because with the OGL it's an "opt out" on what you're sharing, whereas with...

No because that wouldn't have ended the maelstrom of bad PR. It probably would have made it worse and would have muddied up any goodwill they got from the CC-BY release of the core rules. As to why they didn't just release the 3e SRD to CC - they have memory holed the 3e SRD as much as they...

I suspect that's because that's all they care about. Also they are more concerned about not blowing up their relationship with the folks whose 3pp publishing directly supports them rather than caring about their relationship with folks whose 3pp publishing is supporting an older edition or a...

I honestly want to see the product that Wizards decides to go after just because they included a carrion crawler in it. Years later I still don't understand why they included the Carrion Crawler on their list of Product Identity.

My father in law made beautiful wooden dice towers for all of his grandkids and kids (and some of their spouses :) ) because he's both a retired shop teacher and a huge Settlers of Catan fanatic. And when he played Catan with his grandkids (and kids. And some of their spouses) he got tired of...

So at this point I'm back to "probably going to buy them all eventually, because I know who I am" :) But the ones I voted for are "Keys from the Golden Vault' (love anthologies and love heists, so this one feels made for me), "Glory of the Giants" (because I love monster books), and...

Could you imagine the risk of actually playing 4d chess as a company like that? "Oh we're going to intentionally tank our brand so that we can turn around and look like heroes so it will make our brand even stronger" is a ridiculous risk to take. (I mean, there was a lot of cocaine in the 80s...

Yes. A whole lot of "we do no editing we just publish clickbait" websites have used the $45M figure in their articles and so it's spread through the internet as fact. But it's actually the figure from the 2000 movie, and articles of a less clickbaity nature attribute it correctly and say...

They really do want to make that & branding happen, don't they? I noticed that with the 1.2 OGL stuff too - the new badges they were putting out there had the dragon & on them prominently, rather than saying D&D or Dungeons & Dragons. I guess it works - it did get me to discover the D&D...

I have a strong suspicion that this is tied up in the licensing agreements between Paramount and Hasbro and how much of a cut Paramount gets on explicit movie tie-in products. Having to share a percentage on Starter Sets branded with the actors' faces might be less attractive than just assuming...

Need to pick up your D&D branded Yahtzee and D&D branded Monopoly while you're at it: https://theop.games/products/yahtzee-dungeons-dragons https://theop.games/products/monopoly-dungeons-dragons (Not direct movie tie-ins. Yet.)

Is that block of rules trying to say that 3d6=6d6? It's almost Lovecraftian in it's twisted mathematics...

Yes. This is part of why I don't think 1dnd will be very different. And also if Wizards truly is pursuing a digital strategy then the changes have to be within the bounds of what ddb can get online by roll out. And from what folks have told me, ddb is already slow to get existing sourcebook...

This suggests that Zargon isn't already in 5e and that can't be right. Zargon is in every edition whether you see them there or not.
