agreed on DS, I see success with a negative side effect as a degree of success too however. It is not automatically 90 degrees off, the number of degrees is defined by that side effect, and any negative side effect is worse than no negative effect, so it still establishes degrees of success...

no, I disagreed with it ;) DH has four tiers of success / failure, not two like D&D. Saying success is still binary because either you fail or you succeed, there just are additional consequences is just semantics. There still are four tiers, DS in comparison has three, so also tiered, and not...

sure it does, complete failure, fail with hope, succeed with fear, full success, or whatever it calls them 4 levels, not 2 like D&D. DS in turn has 3, but is more descriptive about them, not narrative

rolling 2 dice gives you a curve where the extremes are not as likely, like DH. Depending on your roll it is not just success or failure (like D&D) but varying degrees (like DH) Not sure DS is crunchier than 5e, I expect it to be more tactical though sure, I just consider the similarity to 4e...

and you have varying levels of success / failure, not just fail or succeed, like D&D

nvm

From what little I have seen, It's a crunchier and more tactical Daggerheart. You roll 2d10 (+ ability) and your result falls into one of three categories, depending on how well you rolled (<= 11, 12 - 16, >= 17)

they wrote one in a week when Target asked for a new starter set… they had plenty of opportunity

the magnitude, sure, but how many D&D computer games are there in any given month? It’s not like they were so busy doing stuff for all the others… it was clear for a long time that BG3 would be the biggest D&D computer game of the year, even if that would have meant 5M copies sold rather than 50...

I could, but I would still pay for them. I am not ruling that out, but the less content of a book I actually am interested in, the less likely it is that I will get it. Will have to wait and see...

that is the last thing I am looking for, 2024 already went too far for me, I might have been interested in an updated and expanded FR setting (compared to SCAG), but this is a clear warning sign for me

Not sure how you came to that conclusion… If the people were in favor of gambling, I doubt they would object to D&D themed gambling. You kinda have to start opposed to it to complain about D&D joining in.

that is how I understood @Morrus posts

the data being taken every 15 minutes and then averaged should cover that. The only thing missing is a longer timeframe to see the actual development better

that was not a sustained bump, that was people looking at their new PHB / DMG. If outside of looking at that (for a week or so) there is no uptick in D&D for months to several years but instead we see a continuing decline, then there was no bump - unless for you the short term of a week or two...

on average at any given time, not total per day

nothing definitive, we will need a longer timeframe for that not sure anyone said it was falling, only that this is not trending in the right direction for WotC looks like it did not even do that though

it was in the context of DDB and how many users that now has, so I assume it was D&D Beyond sales. Maybe all direct sales, including print, through their website

according to WotC's quarterly statements, digital is now about 60% of sales I believe

must be all the people checking how this thing counts :D
