    I certainly not here to praise Lovecraft the person. But there is no denying that his writing and its influence is as relevant and visible as it has ever been.

    WotC Hasbro CEO Chris Cox, "I would say that the underlying thesis of our D&D business is all about digital,”

    Digital has been the strategy for years now, except a brief interlude, were 5e became a huge success. Many past forays, many of no or limited success. In the end, its books that make the most money for them. But finally having a huge AAA video game could finally change that.

    D&D 5E (2024) Class spell lists and pact magic are back!

    And thank the WotC for coming to their senses---or at least looking at the surveys. Also, there are plenty of other changes. Weapon mastery is clearly the big one, but when all is said and done, there will be lots of differences. Right now its looking like they will mostly be for the better.

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    Digital compatibility and laying the foundations for online play was also a 3.0 design goal. The ability to do this was largely lost when Hasbro bought WotC for too much--over valuing Pokemon--and licensed out a lot of the digital rights to make up for it. In the end all we got were the e-tools.

    Well, if you replace 5e with 3e then you can invent Pathfinder.

    3.0 really bugs me. It felt close...so close. But 3.5 (and PF) did not move it in the direction it needed to move.

    D&D 4E Ben Riggs' "What the Heck Happened with 4th Edition?" seminar at Gen Con 2023

    People who played WoW did try 4e, I remember them. They did not tend to stick. (The next gen did with 5e, but of course this is all anecdotal). The 3d VTT was clearly the centerpiece of this counter offensive. I saw it debuted to the public the first time I played 4e (and liked it). It just...

    He put the gnome--and the gnome illusionist--into (A)D&D. No other "gamer" did that.

    If you were going to build a Studio Ghibli/Zelda-flavored campaign, what elements would you include?

    For Ghibli: flight. There are a few exceptions for the particular movies, but being able to fly through some means is very important to be ghibliesque.

    Definitely an affinity for 4e ringing throughout the video...even if not a clone.
