    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    Probably not. I just like to get the core products and build out from there.

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    Folks, not sure how we got on to a debate about whether the MM will be better than Level Ups equivalent. 78% of people asked on the forum… this forum… said they would be getting it. I’m sure that will change but my gosh it’s a big vote of confidence. Art is stunning, monsters look more...

    D&D 5E (2024) DMG 2024: Is The Sandbox Campaign Dead?

    Currently running the sandbox campaign Dungeons of Drakkenheim for D&D 2024. Finished the second day long session today. Absolutely loving it and the players seem to be feeling that too. I do think there are a few reasons it’s very strong and not all Sandboxes have that. A really strong theme...

    D&D 5E (2024) Have You Pre-Ordered The 2024 MM?

    I will probably pre-order later this evening. Thanks for the reminder. Really looking forward to seeing the new book and some updates. Everything that has come out for 2024 has been great so far. Two sessions in as a DM and two sessions in as a player in a different campaign and no complaints...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    I wasn’t wrong - I was talking about your original video. In the follow up (your words) “The Story Behind WotCs Blurring of D&D 2024 Videos”. “I happen to be launching a Kickstarter on the following Tuesday. I bet this would be a good video to bring attention to my site and to my Kickstarter...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    It’s not really about not wanting to build a community. I’m sure everyone wants to play the best games they can play. I also have no problem people making money doing what they do. I just think people should be very wary about the appearance of being independent when instead they have a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    I’d like to see two things happen. 1./ Anyone selling products/kickstarters etc should have to have this tagline attached to their posts or read at the start of their videos. “I make and sell alternative products to those I am discussing and therefore I may have a financial interest in what I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    So basically your issue with this is that they contracted someone you didn’t like the reputation of. It wasn’t that they did anything wrong per se, or that the person was badly treated. Just the reputation alone? I’m not sure this is the burning injustice you think it is.

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    You’re describing a fantasy image of the Pinkertons straight out of urban myth. This is 2025 not Red Dead. I’ve known many people who work in security and your associating them with leg-breaking goons is also pretty unpleasant. In his video the streamer described them as very nice and polite. So...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    I’m sorry but whether something is important or not is always going to be a matter of opinion. The idea that the people attacking WotC are displaying nuance is frankly mind boggling. There is little evidence of attempts to understand or give the benefit of the doubt in the statements involved...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    I didn’t say they were perfect, I said they corrected the mistake which is the right thing to do and means I find the way it handled not at all objectionable. I actually brought it up as a little levity in an otherwise bleak thread of fairly constant negging on WotC. You just seized on it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    What do you mean ‘just’! 😉 Were you under the impression that there was some objective standard of truth on the boards? Every opinion posted here is informed by perspective. Yours, mine, everybody’s. It’s why I tend to tenth-man it here about corporations because I think I have a perspective...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    Sure it is as long as I don’t stop anyone else reaching their own conclusion. Sure but it isn’t important right? It shouldn’t be ignored or conveniently forgotten. There’s a substantial difference. By adding ‘anyone could find’ you seem to want to lower the bar for what is objectionable in any...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    I really aren’t. To supplement AIVikings point. You don’t send an employee/manager round to peoples houses. It isn’t safe, you could walk into any situation. It’s totally normal to use a security company. Securitas etc. Also worth noting that if the guy had just kept the cards and enjoyed them...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    With respect, I didn’t say no one could have an issue with it. Sly Flourish had his Saturday afternoon spoiled. The streamer who got a knock on the door had to give something back that he thought he’d lucked onto. The point is these things are not unpleasant or offensive. Certainly not looking...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    Sorry, who is being belittled here? The listed issues were massive at the time and were all across the boards. Some of them were far more substantial than some of things on the recent list. I specifically didn’t include the OGL and said ‘since the OGL’. We all know the OGL was a substantial...

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    I had made the point that changing things is as much a risk as creating new things and AIViking was specifically responding to the person who claimed WotC didn’t offend anyone by changing things. I thought he was pretty on point. It wasn’t misinformation it wasn’t belittling anything. It was...

    It’s because the content creator is driven more by views than they are about passion for the subject. That’s a problem with the content creator and their goals. Not the product they choose to discuss instead.
