The story they told in this article sounds like fun. The one about a bunch of evil Wizards trying to steal a powerful sacred text that turns out to be completely powerless. If you tried to publish an adventure based on this story under the new "O"GL, would the Wizards be able to shut you down...

We should pay attention to their eyes during the interview--to see if they're trying to send any coded messages in their blink patterns.

I'll see it when I believe it. 🙃

Hmm, what's that on my shoe? Did I just step in something? 🙃

True, but I think it depends less on the Dungeon Master and more on the idiosyncratic culture of the Table of gamers. In my experience, Tables develop a culture of gameplay (an unspoken set of house rules, to say it another way) together, without really thinking about it.

Wouldn't 3z7 make it less swingy and more predictable? Maybe I misunderstand what swingy means.

You're talking about the spell's they get from progressing in their class, right? Rather than the spell's they get from spell's books and schools they've collected and copied. Ever table is different. And I'd rather not put more stuff on the Dungeon Master's shoulders. No, I'm referring to...

It's nice because different tables like different things. Depending on what you like your table can just ignore them outright, make them so ubiquitous that they simply represent a number on paper , or you can search for and collect them as you go adventuring.

With this system we would rarely get a critical hit or a critical fumble. It would be much rarer than getting a1 or 20 on a d20. Some might consider that a good thing.

I generally rule on the side of whatever interpretation makes it harder on the player characters. In this case it would take a whole 25gp flask of holy water. This approach in general i think helps to control outlandish combinations. Not perhaps specifically with this example but in general.

Spell compartments is actually one of my favorite parts of dungeons and dragons.

How about those for a house rule: Casting a spell without it's required material components raises the spell's level by 1. For example, casting Resurrection without the 1,000 gold piece diamond would raise the spell's level to 8th. If this would raise the spell's level above 9th then it is not...

In my opinion (and this opinion will be met with much opposition) is that they* done did this once before. They do not like the Open Gaming license. Last time they did this we used the License against them, and it hurt them. This time they're going** for the License itself. With their comments...

I don't know,...maybe 10 years of good behavior. They've admitted they think the OGL 1.0(a) is revocable. That is the very heart of the matter.

This is not enough. What I want to see is this convenient language from the "draft"* 1.1 OGL: "nonexclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, sub-licensable". Added to a new OGL 1.0(z). I didn't include the "royalty-free" part because I think they do deserve some royalties. I think 25% is...

Maybe it has been released, exactly as it's was leaked, and the above companies have already signed on to it. Maybe that's why they're not talking.

Is this the End of Days?

Let's face it. We all knew this would happen when Hasbro bought the game.

I can't wait to see a dramatic movie about this some day.
