I’d be willing to try my hand. Acid sounds like a fun challenge, although I’m not certain I’d have the time for it, so I might sign up for something more limited. Have you spoken to someone at ENWorld already to confirm a necromancer-type situation, or is this proposal as much to them as it is...

What is "other"?

An already-existing RPG I’m quite fond of is EZD6. Rules-light, but with enough crunch to satisfy.

https://www.enworld.org/threads/en-publishing-launches-advanced-5e-srd.694878/#post-8919875 The link to a website with the A5e SRD is in that thread. You can download the current SRD, read what is available to use (under the terms of the OGL), and then look up the other SRDs that are going to...

While WotC has made some key steps just to repair completely avoidable damage, they have in no way earned goodwill or trust yet. That's a long road to walk, and they shouldn't expect most customers who left to return any time soon. That said, I hope people who were planning on returning if this...

And in other good news, Level Up has received a sales boost from this debacle, so hopefully we get a lot of fresh blood in this forum before too long.

There's a lot of discussion going down with this fairly recent news, and I'm sure a fair amount of you are already tracking this information in other forums or news sites. I still think it's worth stating here: we won! WotC/Hasbro has completely backed down on their plans with the new OGL and...

Is that true? Correct me if I’m wrong, but Elites don’t actually change a monster’s CR, they just make it count as double when calculating an encounter’s approximate difficulty. Making Elite forms of Beasts that aren’t already CR 4 or higher doesn’t actually fit the issue. Creating “dire”...

Jersey devil. Drop bear. Jackalope (except I think that’s already in there).

I personally don’t mind more “dire” variants being added, even if higher levels, despite precedent. Also, maybe more dinosaurs—some dinos definitely deserve higher CRs, and there are a ton unrepresented. Are cave bears already in the MM? If not, maybe cave/ancient versions of some beasts...

This is a big part of how you dig in your heels—it's how most people will be most effective. Just simply go away, to where the fields are greener, and if WotC ever comes pining, just say "OGL 1.0(a)." Regardless of how likely this strategy (and others) are to save the OGL 1.0(a), it still...

4e is a good example of the misfortune of restrictive license. Rather than have a decade and a half of people building off of it, it's just been locked in a tomb.

I actually don't see any dissonance between this response and not giving an inch. I'm largely in total agreement with everything you just shared. WotC probably isn't persuadable on the non-negotiable stuff for the community, but that doesn't mean we need to stand outside WotC offices with...

Don’t give in. Don’t back down. Don’t give WotC an inch. The TTRPG community, to my knowledge, has never been more unified than when WotC made a sneak attack on the OGL 1.0(a), in the process directly attacking 3PP large and small, trying to buy off other parties, and hoping to shove everything...

I think this is a great idea and I have friends that would kill for something like this. For me, I next to never use settings or setpieces other than my own long-running homebrewed ones, so I'd be unlikely to buy such a product if it did not have great exploration challenges, spells, and...

Like, for pact of the chain warlock, or in general? You’re still using the senses of another creature, not your own, so I would rule it the same way. No conflict. But it’s also your table. If your player chooses to play a blind character and then to use class features to allow herself to “see”...

I don’t know if that’s the intent of the rules, but it makes sense to me. As for the abilities you quoted, they let the Oracle use the other creature’s senses, while the ability you quoted doesn’t allow the oracle herself to gain sight through magic or whatever. By my reading, these don’t...

I don’t know if you are running this already, but as a Narrator I would allow any ability that relies on sight to be used with any version of sight, including blindsight. As a result, the range for some things might be decreased to match the range of the blindsight (provided this DDG feature...

The free-form magic and the way die resolution is handled was a big draw for me - I like giving the “referee” more wiggle room for making things harder and easier rather than, like some systems, basically having flat difficulty for everything. I like micro-RPGs in concept, and I’ve had fun with...

I've been off the DnD bandwagon for years—the closest I've been to playing DnD in the past few months is Level Up. So I just chuckled when I first started following the OGL debacle.
