    Pathfinder, Cthulhu, Level Up: D&D Competitors Start To Sell Out

    It is very much from the author's POV and autobiographical, not really a history book, but does contain some historical just by way of telling his story. I found it mostly entertaining, though there were times it meanders, mostly because Flint meandered in his career. It is great how Flint...

    Pathfinder, Cthulhu, Level Up: D&D Competitors Start To Sell Out

    Is that a mid-1980s Gary Gygax joke? ;-) Flint Dille's The Gamemaster memoir touches on his relationship with Gary and Gary's time in LA. Edit spelling: it is Dille, not Dillie.

    Pathfinder, Cthulhu, Level Up: D&D Competitors Start To Sell Out

    Wonder if itch.io is seeing an uptick for indie RPGs as well. Edit: itch.io, not .com

    Don't Give Ground

    Is it a heartbreaker if people actually buy and play the product? Likely not, based on Ryan's definition. You would have to ask Ryan for more clarification.

    Don't Give Ground

    I like Ryan Dancey's take on 4e, it was the world largest fantasy heartbreaker.

    Why We Should Work With WotC

    Before we can compromise we need to a) understand what WotC's goals are in stirring the pot as they are the ones who rocked the boat; b) remember that the current regime at WotC has a history of not playing nicely once contracts are signed (see; Gale Force 9, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, et...

    D&D General Has the OGL/WotC debacle motivated you to create your own Fantasy Heartbreaker or homebrew?

    Like many, had started something before this mess. It will be for personal consumption with zero plans to publish at this time.

    Hasbro should have asked Chat GPT, I did:

    Keep in mind, ChatGPT was last trained in 2021 and has information about current events.

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    You kidding, this attempts to make that gang out as the bad guys.

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    Anyone else noticing they are trying to frame the OGL as "for the fans?" That is disengenuous.

    OGL-Gate & Mainstream Media: The Guardian Weighs In

    According to the message sent by someone claiming to work at D&D Beyond, the top brass are waiting for the fans to calm down. That poured even more fuel on the cancelation of D&D Beyond accounts and now has spilled over into non-gaming and business news. One day, this whole thing will be a...

    One person at Paizo who is not a spokesperson said a thing. Looking at the copyright list at the end of the OGL at the back of the book seems to tell a different story. Edit: correction, Paizo says some in the official statement on ORC.
