    D&D General D&D Beyond's Users Online Over Last Year

    Yeah, my thoughts exactly. This seems to 'only' get the data of the forum usage, and not the total amount of paid subscribers (I have an account so I can get the UA and post on the forums, but am not an active subscriber), or the amount of users/time were using/accessing the paid DNDBeyond...

    Really ? Although it doesn't have to be PbtA, 'rules lighter, fiction first, high fantasy' sure seems to fit the bill. Guess I'll have to look into Daggerheart now as well. And on a side-note: it now seems that perhaps I did not derail this thread as much as I thought I did. ;)

    Got it. So although our group likes longer campaigns better than one-shots, I might still suggest 'Monster of the Week' to our group as a try out/introduction to the game engine (with the expectation that if we like it we would switch to something more campaign oriented.) Thanks people, I think...

    Ok. So would that be (iirc, it's been a while) Buffy like 'the first few seasons, where there literally was a new monster every episode', or more Buffy like 'the last few seasons, where there was a single BBEG throughout the entire season' ? Or in other words: Is 'Monster of the Week' designed...

    Thanks for the info. I guess that what I am looking for the most, is something 'high fantasy'-ish. So I took a look at the 'Powered by the Apocalypse' entry on Wikipedia, and 'Fantasy World' (or perhaps 'Dungeon World') seem to fit that genre the best ?

    Thanks for the heads-up.

    Alright. So I did an (admittedly very limited) look-up of the things mentioned so far (in random order) : Blades in the Dark 13th Age Fate Core / Dresden Files Fate Core / Fate of Cthulhu Atomic Robo And I think that considering that since I am someone who only has experience with D&D 5e, both...

    Thanks. So, do I understand correctly that if I got the 'Fate Core System' and something like 'Fate Worlds Volume One: Worlds on Fire' I would have the core ruleset and a few pre-written 'stories' to try it out ? Also, I have no experience with Daggerheart, but am all for 'more...

    Ivan Van Norman Leaves Darrington Press

    Hey, thanks for the response ! I have never heard of it, so will have to look into it. Is there something like 'adventure modules' (pre-written stories using the FATE ruleset) or 'campaign settings' out there ? Sorry if I get it all wrong, I'm pretty much just used to D&D 5e, but have some...

    Just out of curiosity (and not really related) but : what would some of the better known 'narrative gaming' TTRPG's (that I probably should have been aware of already) out there be ? You mentioned 'Powered by the Apocalypse'; would that mean basically any game that uses that engine ?

    But does this mean that he will now be moving to and hired by WotC ?

    D&D General Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford Join Darrington Press

    I think you are right, but still feel that Perkins and Crawford have been public facing figures for D&D / WotC in promotional material for long enough that people will at least still easily strongly associate them with the D&D brand.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC released 5.1 SRD to 5.2.1 SRD conversion doc for creators

    I'm surprised I did not see an article about this on the front page of the website (or did I miss that ?), because I completely missed this news. Thanks for the post & link. - edit - Perhaps this is because it might not be immediately obvious that it is a D&D 2014 to D&D 2024 conversion guide ?

    Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.2 Is Officially Live

    I get that, but I also get why you state that explicitly. Thanks, that corresponds with how I understand things to be. Yeah, the whole DM's Guild thing seems to be a whole thing unto it's own. I think I also heard that when you publish on DM's Guild, you cannot publish anywhere else...

    Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.2 Is Officially Live

    Thanks for the response. But, do I understand correctly that you literally cannot use any of WotC's IP in your SRD-based content ? So for example, you cannot use the 'Forgotten Realms' setting (or anything in it), and you would have to make it either 'setting-agnostic' or create your own setting ?

    Dungeons & Dragons SRD 5.2 Is Officially Live

    Now that I have seen the question of trademarked/copyrighted IP mentioned here quite a few times, I have a question : What if I chose to use the 5.2 SRD to create new IP, would that make it my IP, or WotC's IP ? For example, if I chose to use the 5.2 SRD to publish new material, but included an...

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    I'm not sure, but I vaguely seem to recall Jeremy Crawford stating that he definitely considered it a new edition, as he personally had to rewrite all the statblocks in the monster manual. But I may be mistaken.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Announces April 22 Release For 2024 System Reference Documents

    Perhaps you are correct. I do get the impression that the claim was that previous adventures remained compatible with the new rules. But now they announce a 'conversion guide'. It's just getting confusing at this point. Perhaps we will have to wait and see what this conversion guide will...

    Apparently, you came here to have an argument. ;)
