    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    We've used one. It's not hours. It's really not so bad. But yes it needs to be done in advance.

    I've used Talespire, and it's pretty good

    Wizards of the Coast Is Sunsetting Sigil's Active Development

    This being free in DDB will be handy sometimes. They're not the only 3d VTT though. But this will be the one I can use for free (because I already pay for DDB) to pull up when we could really use it. For example, were in the final battle of Tomb of Annihilation. That involves: 1) a flight of...

    It's the center spot man.

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    To be clear, I like and enjoy most of what you have to say (even when I disagree sometimes). I was really just curious.

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    It's not a hobby though, it's a business owned by a publicly traded company. It's literally in their mandate to prioritize profit on behalf of shareholders. They have an actual legal obligation to their shareholders to do so. If you don't want to buy from someone which has that mandatory...

    No I just went through that math. Maximizing purchases isn't in fact what results in maximum profit. In the example given, if 100 units of customers each buy 2 books, and another 10 units of customers each buy 20 books, while each group of customers bought the same total number of books, the...

    The only metric of concern is total profit. The big cost is printing and distribution, not setup. However, setup is roughly fixed for each book, so fewer books means fewer setup costs, and also means less total overhead as you require fewer total employees to setup 2 books than 20. Each...

    Yes, sure. So after one complaint TO THE MANAGEMENT AND NOT THEIR CUSTOMERS, you go find another restaurant you do like. You don't return, not buy anything, but sit down next to their current customers and complain about how much you liked their old menu and think this new menu stinks every day...

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    If A is composed of 100 units of people who buy 2 books each for a total of 200 units sold, and B is composed of 10 units of people buy 20 books each for a total of 200 units sold, A is substantially more valuable to the book company than B. Not only does it cost less in setup (writing, art...

    D&D General Why did you have to cancel/reschedule your most recent session?

    1) hilarious, our DM's name is Todd. He's awesome though and has never forgotten it was gameday. 2) We have 6 players, and will play with 4 present, so games only get canceled if 3 people are out or the DM is out.

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    I've never once seen someone say or imply that you are obligated to buy RPG products you dislike in order to prop up Hasbro. There is little we all agree on here, but I think it's pretty universal that people encourage you to buy and play whatever brings you joy.

    The thing is, I can't think of a single edition where the art direction was really good. I think this art direction is better than most, and it's still not good. But it's at least better than the halflings we got in the last version.

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    It's worse really than that. They are not even harassing the wait staff. They don't even contact the restaurant or wait staff beyond maybe a yearly survey or something. Instead they choose to harass the customers every day about liking what the restaurant sells, and loudly declaring that they...

    D&D 5E (2024) Wargamer Takes Shot At WotC for Not Respecting Forgotten Realms Canon.

    I don't know what happened with the quote function. It's an exact quote but looks like it's attributable to someone else, though embedded in a quote with your name, which is weird. Sorry about that

    Sigil, Wizards of the Coast's VTT, Officially Launches

    I don't recall them mentioning microtransactions in that at all. I recall people jumping to that conclusion. My memory is not infallible though.

    D&D 5E (2024) Wargamer Takes Shot At WotC for Not Respecting Forgotten Realms Canon.

    The relevant quote from you was, "they are making it a bad mount subclass. If you want to make a mount subclass, use the cavalier." I am saying it is a great mount subclass. What misquote? This is incorrect. "Otherwise, you can perform a 1-hour ceremony to resurrect the dragon; this ceremony...

    D&D 5E (2024) Wargamer Takes Shot At WotC for Not Respecting Forgotten Realms Canon.

    It's a GREAT mount class. If that's your issue with it, I recommend this video. I think it's would be an exceptionally powerful mount subclass.

    D&D 5E (2024) Wargamer Takes Shot At WotC for Not Respecting Forgotten Realms Canon.

    Claims that the Purple Dragon Knight was an important part of the Forgotten Realms setting ring false to me. Yes, I am saying as a fan of FR that it is in fact pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things and I think you claiming your view represents "those of us who are really into...
