it’s not really debt though, they are not obligated to refund a failed KS. JG has the same amount of money either way, the difference is that their backers have a little more

I want GG to keep the money and refund directly, not trusting the Bledsaws to actually do so

it is more likely to do so than not boycotting them…

or they underestimated the backlash by backtracking their announcement / plan (referring to the OGL here), let’s see if GG does that

which system, DCC or 5e? DCC has a whole Lankhmar line, and it’s not like 5e is lacking content

because there are no other city settings readily available already…

weren’t the of Everything books rules expansions too (just at full price / page count)?

as I said repeatedly, these mistakes are unrelated to the edition, and while 2e did not manage to overcome the incompetence of TSR management, it kept them alive longer than 1e would have. So no, it did not fail. TSR went bankrupt, the cause was not 2e though, it just happened during 2e. Your...

the statement was from 2020, supposedly they have been working on CSIO for 3 years, in which case they did not take long to change their minds

don’t think we got the results of that, just listened to the podcast and Teos said that D&D was about 71M in Q1, which is 10M more than a year ago, which would make the growth rate around 15%. It’s basically just one sentence at around 25:00 (slightly after that)

I mean, you could argue that wearing masks during a pandemic is not really a political statement, so recommending doing so is not either.

conveniently ignoring the 'but I am far from certain on that' part. It was specifically not an option because they printed too much and did not price stuff properly, selling things at a loss. That would have happened with 1e just as well as with 2e, this is not something that is due to the...

If you play a WotC campaign, there are companions for that which add some side-stuff too https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?keywords=eventyr++complete+DM%27s+bundle https://www.dmsguild.com/browse.php?keywords=Ultimate+DM%27s+Bundle There also are plenty of small adventure bundles which get...

while the DM might be able to scale it down, that does not really work well for APs that have all kinds of higher level challenges and monsters at the later levels, because they assume / expect a certain party level for them. You are better off adding more content in each chapter than slowing...

no we don’t, the idea was to have longer adventures at a limited level range, so you do not progress in level every other session and speed through the campaign

they are releasing under an OGL-alike and a Shadowdark-alike, so depending in what you wanted to do, you should be covered. From my (rough) understanding, the one case that is not is creating a new game or expansion and not releasing your stuff under the OGL-alike license

as I said, what killed them is having 400 staff and sales for 10 of them. The only way to survive with 1e sales is to fire 95% and eeke out a meager living. Maybe that way they could have gone on longer than they actually did, but I am far from certain on that eh, they could have done that...

I hope they do, at least that way they finally have to make some I am interested in ;)

no, it would have caved much sooner because 1e sales were close to nonexistent it was having several hundred people on the payroll when stuff was not selling that did. That would still have been true without 2e. Had they downsized to a handful of people fast enough, then maybe TSR could have...

yeah, there are only so many options
