I feel that we diverge somewhat from the topic ar hand. Would you care to start a new thread? 🤔

This is a statement other than true. And I see that you have three people that agree with you! Truly, a salutary lesson. No, you wrote stuff that mistook me (at best) for other people and which you have no evidence for. Thanks for the tip!

Sir: there are literal fascists walking the streets of the USA. Please do not attribute words to me that I am not using. PC: I have gone back and checked. You should too. PC: Sir, monopolistic and market-distorting effects can be seen with as little as 1/8th of the market share. PC: A strict...

I have always said that DMs are players too but I think this episode revealed unspoken assumptions that include they're not the same sort of player and how deep that goes. 😀

If they're gonna drop 2k damage they clearly spent resources to do it! In the final session of a Dark Heresy campaign I was in, a Chaos Space Marine showed up. I burnt through 3 points of my 26 Toughness and then rolled quite well, 66 points of damage, through armour, to head and chest...

Good to know!

If people mistake me for Daniel Kwan I shall be very flattered.

This is growing tedious. I never said they're evil. Greedy and short-termist yes. Woefully misinformed about TTRPG versus computer game culture yes. Evil, pah. There's real evil in the world right now. I didn't compare them to Windows. Go argue with the person who said that. What they will...

They and DTRPG takes 50%. DTRPG when exclusive takes 30%. Itch.io varies. I expect when they "open it up" and take 25% in the first year, you'll hail it as a great victory. I expect they'll probably aim closer to 45% which will reward DMG developers. 😉 I mean, I know what decisions I...

From the finished article, Daniel Kwan wrote: • The encounter mode seen in the existing marketing videos automatically rolls and tracks initiative. • When selecting an attack or spell, the system automatically highlights valid targets. This is a nice accessibility feature. The system similarly...

Is it not very obvious Dave? What incentive does Hasbro have to allow 3pp to develop for its proprietary platform? I mean, if you were in charge and wanted to monetise the game more what would you do? Hasbro clearly doesn't feel it needs the 3pp market anymore and honestly with its own success...

I don't know. It would be on the nose to be able to pay for magic items and advantage on your rolls. And yet, it would also be extremely foolish to use NDAs in an attempt to secure a fait accompli. If you need the NDAs you need the people and if you don't catch the largest independent...

Well Dave, the article does have the author's name on, so I consider that a clue. 😉 My website is Homebrew and Hacking which if you have a read round you'll notice is written in a certain style and doesn't provide financial support to substack.

Oh! I hope no one thinks I'm claiming authorship of the article! :(

Summary: Minor technical issues but nothing that time and money can't sort. However, the QoL improvements which WoTC/ Hasbro are baking in are also means to restrict homebrew settings and "Hacks" such as 3rd party content. If you're heavily invested in running RAW, don't worry about it...

I like that they don't hold with bigotry. That's really good.

It's quite pretty and I'm very pleased with it. :) https://homebrewandhacking.com/2023/06/22/nymphs-alseids-dryads-naiads-and-oreads/

I used to quite like him then I asked him if he would like a review copy of Level Up and he responded with a level of anger I found extreme. Apparently he backed a Kickstarter to keep EnWorld running and then managed to get himself a ban for his behaviour. No offence but that must have been...

Never played them. Give 'em a miss?

😀 you should probably have a bit of another look at my website in fairness. 😀 But I thought you did a really great job and hit all the main points really well!
