A Closed Letter to WotC Dear MERLS, WotC, and the d05 team, Thank you for bringing us the d05 edition of Dungeons and Dragons! I was greatly looking forward to this new edition, but am now filled with trepidation. At first, I considered writing an open letter. But given the criticality of...

Only have tim for this Q. Very simpl logic. Only dance listed is Otto's. It is irressistor, so only dance you chan chose. Hence other dances are impossble. No Lambata, no macaroni, no gangnam style. Not even chicken dance. See how MERLS ruins evrhtng chicken!

This is good point. After reading you remarks I am much clamer now. BUt your logic is still faulty like the San Andreas. Schroder was peanuts, not high energy particle physicist. You are thinking of Hindenburg. This very important, distinction! When you throw chicken, you can knw speed and...

Eggsactly! THank you fir seeing mmy point! Chicken is not in MM so is not monstr. Is alive so is not obbject. Is not PC. Chicken muost be DMPC! But everyone knowses DMPC is bad. Is badl like Sword of Tooth evil chicken. Chicken is not object, but if you throw chicken, I must use...

My hat of d05 know no limit! It fails in every aspect that is possible, and fails in som not possible. It is more of a bored game than a boar game. I can't even grill cheese sanwitch,! Boned accurcy means you never get better at anything. THere is no way of avoiding it. I mean not matt er...

Hmm. Don't you mean fire pellet?

That was my initial reaction as well. But it's possible if you consider the pdf of the monster book only. Overall formatting and descriptive text can be done in advance. Formatting for monsters can be taken from the starter set and basic. THey wait till MM is published in Sept. to check...

I'll make a thread about this later in the OGL section rather than derail this thread, which should be about the fact that it cool that Wizards Amulet is released for 5e!

Mythmere, thanks for the quick explanation. I was probably vaguely recalling some explanation long ago from Clark about why the Section 15 requirement was the way it is, but yeah now I see that this is done under the Necromancer Games rather than Frog God Games imprint, and that wouldn't apply...

'an abbreviated Section 15 entry has been approved.' How would you do that? Get permission from each contributor?

Sometimes I think Hypersmurf's legacy was a net negative. The most vicious arguments in the 3e days were almost always at base about what the rules represented and how to approach interpretation. This led to the dismissive "That would be a fine house rule" snub against anyone who didn't take...

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

[COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial] ​So, 'campaign style adventure' certainly sounds like an adventure path. If one bible is done and two more will be done by end of year, target is likely about 3-4 adventure paths per year. Could dovetail with Encounters. In terms of 'module' sales, on the one hand...

I'm so happy, I'm doing the neutron dance! Expecting to get the Starter Set for the youngen.

More seriously, different people do learn in different ways - for some a demonstration is good, others might absorb from reading. That said, my 8 year old regularly watches YouTube videos in order to learn how to do stuff in Minecraft. I think vidoe instructions would be completely normal if...

we din't have print. Or light. We had to feel out the cuneiform marks in the clay tablets that we were carrying uphill in a snowstorm in the darkness. If you got the rules wrong, Gary Gygax would sacrifice you at the top of a ziggurat. And we liked it that way.

I think that's a great summary. The clarification I would make is that I have heard two versions of the network externality argument. The first argument is that the presence of a variety of support materials, e.g., adventures, settings, monster books, directly drives sales of the core rule...

Some random thoughts -This gives a six month window where only the adventure content is from WotC. Those adventures better be good. -They probably want to avoid having folks release crunch that would just duplicate rule modules that they are going to put in the DMG. -The first day of winter is...

Trial in the lawsuit between Hasbro and Sweetpea was originally scheduled for April IIRC, but has been delayed until July 1. It is certainly likely that the parties have been in settlement negotiations, but there's no sign of a settlement entered yet on the court docket.

My strong impression is that (i) there remains internal disagreement within WotC/Hasbro regarding whether and how much D&D should be open, and (ii) WotC feels burned from the the 4e situation where early announcements indicated there would be an OGL but there was a lot of bad will from how it...
