mixed in with a ton of stuff that throws it off when actually generating something for D&D

because WotC won’t tell you that it is AI, I also expect that AI is only some baseline a designer then refines rather than going straight into the product, because only WotC’s AI can be trained on 50 years of D&D data

so close, clearly it was ‘Hammer to fall’

did not have that on my Bingo card

‘we are the champions’? ;)

no one stops you from using crafting in it, but since it is for everyone there will also be people who are not big fans of it

full ship going to Europe, empty ship coming back...

I believe that interest was ‘always’ there, GG created it and CSIO either did not change it or had a negative impact (tbd) whereas CSIO had a positive impact for JG, even if small and without them being able to exploit it (also tbd). So, GG 0 : JG 1

I assume that was just Goodman not considering that there were two version in the KS, rather than this being an intentional decision

The GG campaign made the CSIO more of a known entity imo, and with its limited run and potentially renewed interest, JG could try to meet that demand. From Bledsaw’s post it sounded like they wanted to release their own version this year (I doubt that is realistic…). They could also release...

is that the same KS? then I would not expect a distinction between who ordered which version

yes, he benefits, but the point was pretty much that Bledsaw is getting paid them being JG / Bledsaw

Since the UA generally isn't about balance they will not learn it from an UA. I also hope / expect that the people at WotC have some idea of what they are doing, esp. when it comes to balancing things, without having to ask their fans each and every time

the backers are not legally owed anything, the fees are used to reimburse them so (ideally) Bledsaw does not get any money directly

yes it can, it is a 5e class

much riskier than just licensing it. Well, they already own several studios from my understanding, so let’s see if it is more than a waste of money

or they just license it to various studios. There is something Warhammer related being released every month (ok, slight exaggeration) and yet GW is neither a publisher nor studio owner

and they still turn a profit on them, so they are not loss leaders. They are their most profitable D&D products due to volume. In addition, this was about the digital DDB copy too, where there is no relevant cost difference between a 200 page ‘book’ and a 400 page one at the same price. So this...

not really, if you look at the list… the first seven OAR had no crowdfunding, and it beat the Dark Tower but not Caverns of Thracia, most of the others were smaller projects to begin with

no, it is not a loss leader, far from it and if I buy it on DTRPG they get those $5 / 30%, doesn’t mean that every class there costs $15. $15 for a single class is a lot either way, that is half of what the PHB costs. I would be much more inclined to spend $50 on the entire Valda book than $15...
