    Critical Role Announces Two New RPGs

    I can sdee your point, but I was under the impression that it is somewhat difficult to publish rules online without an open license (and I definitely think they'll make the rules freely available in that manner), and I can see them wanting to play nice with fan homebrew due to the size of the...

    Critical Role Announces Two New RPGs

    There is a difference but especially if they're going to live stream the game, I don't see why they wouldn't do it, considering their past behaviour and the fact streaming would reveal most of the core mechanics regardless.

    Critical Role Announces Two New RPGs

    Why do you think that? My understanding is that Mercer and Darrington have released free and open content for different homebrew relevant to Critical Role; in edition, with the streams being as they are, a lot of this content is easily recreatable by anyone willing to scrub through the streams...

    Critical Role Announces Two New RPGs

    So they are apparently going to be at Gencon in August - a few months away. That leaves an interesting possibility - will they do a Jumpstart edition like Cyberpunk Red did, or something like a test edition like Pathfinder 2e?

    Critical Role Announces Two New RPGs

    Depending on how this goes, this could be a shakeup. Timing could be everything. If they think either system will sell really well, campaign 4 could easily be done in one or the other. And depending on timing, that could coincide with D&D's 2024 release. If campaign 3 doesn't adopt those books...

    Collectivism in Gaming

    I have a fairly high income compared to the vast majority of people, so I purchase anything. I think in many ways that is a form of collectivism due to the unfairness of the world and the distribution of resources. Those with more should cover for those who don't have much, because there's...

    D&D General D&D Creator Summit--VTT & One D&D

    'Abrasive' is a mild descriptor considering some of the things I've seen him said - but yes, that makes sense. For all his faults, Legend does tend to be outspoken about issues. It does feel from reading community sentiment that Warhammer 3 really turned about since the Immortal Empires...

    D&D General Kobold Press Going Down a Dark Road

    Consider the continuing popularity of high end / AAA video games, which can cost anywhere from 60 euro / dollars to 70 euro / dollars and the consoles to run them on, along with smaller games. Though the video game industry has changed a lot of the years, there are still a number of games where...

    D&D General Creating a Pride Flag for my D&D setting

    I am somewhat critical of that VA image. While I think the VA image you have linked is a good starting point / breakdown, putting 'transgender' as a middle option between 'boy/man' and 'girl/woman' on a scale of gender identity is inaccurate. Few (any?) would describe their gender identity...

    WotC So it seems D&D has picked a side on the AI art debate.

    Outsider art exists. As far as I am aware, outsider AI art is impossible now, and will probably stay impossible lalter.

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    I was under the impression that 40k's background originally wasn't just a thin veneer; it was a satire on facism, authoritarianism and extreme violence / support for war at all costs. You are correct with the rest of it though, but I think the reason GW put themselves in a tough spot is that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    Hogwarts Legacy is a really bad example, because that game ios basically the equiavlent of GAZ10 The Orcs of Thar when it comes to both how it treats Jewish people (and to some degree how it treats trans people), and directly supports a horrific bigot who wants me and others dead (and was...

    WotC WotC D&D Community Update

    Yes. Giving second chances to another person** makes someone a good person. WoTC aren't a person. They're a corporation. People don't need to be gracias to them. They can continue to complain* and not give money to them. Granted, they do seem to be being more transparent right now, that is...

    D&D Movie/TV What will be the end credits scene for the D&D Movie? (Wrong / silly answers only.)

    The party return to their homes, after the ending and credits. They find it dark, covered in magical darkness. James Jacobs reveals himself, clouded in the darkness "You think you're the only adventurers in the world? Mr Pine, you've become part of a bigger universe. You just don't know it...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    Yes. And they would literally be completely wrong, by any measure of evidence, history or empathy. I can go to extreme scenarios and win the argument simply by those examples. Anyone would be familiar with the scenarios I come up with. A defensive war against an aggressor can be easily...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    Violence, war and theft can be justified. Slavery can't. Granted, of course, war is in the vast majority of cases wrong, violence is very often wrong and theft can be quite wrong. But depending on the situation it can be justified. Slavery literally never can be, under pretty much zero...

    This is something I must have been subconciously thinking of but forgot to mention. I remember seeing the film Detroit when it was in the cinema in Ireland. 'Enjoy' is not the right word (I should have realised the film was going to be darker than I expected... my university friends and I were...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    Really the problem isn't problematic content. There are a lot of works and even games that include problematic content of all kinds. They find an audience. Some can be quite distasteful in my opinion - but that is my opinion, and something to criticise, etc. etc. I think the problem is that...

    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    Well, as far as I can tell Paizo still has their older products with slavery references in them up. I don't think they have ever unrelelased a PDF? But I might be misinformed. So while they will probably convert more Pathfinder 1e adventures to 2e, as far as I can tell they don't limit others...
