Since it is being released for free on a Mystara fansite, it would seem to me that the target audience is built into the announcement. Sure, it would be nice if it got broader attention and led to some official revival. But I don't think there's anything in what's happening to suggest that...

It is worth noting (and maybe it already was in this long thread; my apologies if so), that WotC has dipped a toe in Greyhawk waters with their Ghosts of Saltmarsh product. I've suspected they have some future plans for it (explaining the lack of movement on DM's Guild), but they tend to work...

So I looked through the Book of Cylinders, which looks like a fun adventure. First, I think it is completely understandable that the author is disappointed that his vision was changed, that he feels the grippli he introduced haven't been done justice, and that he'd rather his name wasn't on the...

Which means it's totally well suited to match the Hollywood economy? AD

I think mostly it's a good sign that they are willing to spend money on well known actors (A list or not) and that those actors (some of whom presumably don't feel the need to accept any job they're offered) are willing to attach themselves to it. Does that guarantee a good movie? Absolutely...

I was responding to that link being evidence for "Wizards gets most of the price of the digital books, and at least a piece of the subscription fees" So, yes, the latter is true from that thread. But it had to be. The subscription allows one to share WotC material among lots of friends, so I...

True enough. But it does match up with Adam saying that DDB have done better than they ever anticipated. But, since that's just a general statement, I figured the fact that they are expanding is a better indication that they are indeed doing well enough to risk expanding their team. But yeah...

So, eh, as far as I can tell no one in that thread works for the company. I don't know why they are so confident about how the revenues are split, but I'd be stunned if DDB had ever shared the details of their licensing agreement. I'm pretty sure that's just speculation. Sure, it's reasonable...

I don't disagree with that. Which is why it might be nice to have more options for swapping out ability score increases for other abilities. But still leave the ability score increase as an option for the person who wants the strong half orc etc. AD

Hm. I am surprised by some of the reaction here. I find that using lineages and getting rid of ability scores as defining characteristics opens a much more fun and creative design space. I'd much rather focus on cool abilities than on whether one race is stronger or smarter than another. I also...

DDB are clearly under pretty strict guidelines about how they do anything with WotC material. If I had to guess, they are doing what WotC told them to do. But you could probably ask and find out. AD

For $1, I should also get a pdf. AD

So, I'm definitely not going to disagree that the differences between FR and GH are not stark enough from a marketing perspective to give GH any 'leverage' over, say, Dark Sun as an opportunity for WotC to explore something really different. I think they are very different settings in feel. But...

I am a big Greyhawk fan. And I really liked how they handled it in Saltmarsh. It's understandable that people have different opinions, but I suspect WotC is well aware that internet messageboard arguments are not necessarily a good gauge of the actual opinion of fandom as a whole. I don't know...

It's not very informative, but did you guys catch the hint dropped today? It's a discord thing, but here's an article that describes it: https://comicbook.com/gaming/news/dungeons-dragons-hideous-laughter-teaser/

Hey, no worries about going on! I get that you're feeling pretty strongly about this as a prediction, and I-- unintentionally-- keep poking you by responding. And I will stop doing so! I'm a usual lurker on these messageboards because, in the end, while I enjoy in person debates, I don't so much...

Well, the ebook version on DDB does largely retain the physical book format, with the art, covers, content etc. The 'listings' that let you search individual elements is a separate interface. The ebook just lacks the same page numbers and count. Kind of the same way a kindle or other ebook...

Do you mean the tens of millions in video games? Because I'll buy that there are 10's of millions to be made there hypothetically, which is why I suspect they've started buying and setting up video game studios. But in the 'character and campaign management' space? Seems like for the tabletop...

An interest, yes. That they wanted to create their own tools and start a new edition, no. It was a detailed survey about how we are playing the game and what tools we are using. It's information I'd want to know regardless of whether I was planning a new edition or deciding to make my own...

That's all fair enough. Though I don't get the same impression from the survey at all. I guess we'll see! AD
