    Sure. That's what Cyberdyne Systems wants you to think.

    WotC Talks OGL... Again! Draft Coming Jan 20th With Feedback Survey; v1 De-Auth Still On

    Guys can we not call people who disagree with us 'shills'? WotC produces D&D, a game which we all love or at least tolerate enough to comment endlessly about it. Some people do not care about the OGL (or do not consider it a deal breaker) and just want to have their game. Some people want some...

    WotC Talks OGL... Again! Draft Coming Jan 20th With Feedback Survey; v1 De-Auth Still On

    I am skipping a bunch of pages of discussion here... Apologies if I missed some of the debate over definitions of lying, cyberstalking, and gaslighting. I see we are conflating two separate issues there is broad dislikefor in the community. Problem the first, revoking a contract unilaterally...

    Paizo Announces New Irrevocable Open RPG License To Replace the OGL

    Yay Paizo! I feel a goblin song about to burst from my lips. I am not a fan of Pathfinder rules wise but I will be grabbing a beginners box to show solidarity for keeping Open Gaming development alive.

    OGL: Kobold Press 'Raising Our Flag' For New Open RPG

    I am happy to see KP and MCDM looking to a world without needing OGL 1.1. Even if their discussions lead to keeping OGL 1.0a, the conversation and brainstorming could lead down interesting paths. I will be watching with great interest and signed up for notification about Black Flag. Also, thank...

    D&D General what is the difference between magic and psionics?

    The trap is baited... I can not resist. Psionics are an internal supernatural power. Previous incarnations of psionics in D&D have been an add-on for liars or the exceptionally lucky (AD&D), a spell point system with wildly unbalanced elements (2E), a spell point system that was similar to...

    Going Nuclear:1D&D

    I will wait until the 13th to decide when WotC releases to the public. IF it is close to what has been reported/leaked, I will not spend another dime on WotC/Hasbro products, including the movie. I will finish my DM duties to a couple on-going public campaigns at the local library and will pack...

    WotC WotC Cancels 5 Video Games

    Games take a while to produce. Any game developing now would be better focused on Next Gen systems, so Playstation 6 rather than 5. I wonder if the development timeline was looking poor for these 5 games. So far we only have the new Dark Alliance as an example of what WotC digital efforts are...

    WotC Announces OGL 1.1 -- Revised Terms, Royalties, and Annual Revenue Reporting

    They are offering nothing new other than taking a cut of profits and a badge? This isn't a huge revenue bonus to Hasbro and just seems like it would piss off the biggest producers who expand D&D's audience. Short sighted and foolish.

    WotC Hasbro Bets Big on D&D

    Ahhh the sky is falling DOOM! Doom, I say! D&D will be a bigger presence in toy stores, apparel, and breakfast cereals. There is gold in them thar hills or at least electrum. D&D will likely start to have diversification of product offerings in DDB/Digital. DMs are the bulk of purchasers so we...

    Modiphius' Conan TTRPG Is Ending

    Conan as an IP still has legs. FunCom has leased the digital rights for a long time. From the Age of Conan MMO to Conan Exiles (which just got an update yesterday), to the bizarre but fun retro Conan Chop Chop. The R.E. Howard stories are still in print. There is a new show coming out for...

    D&D General Deities in D&D: Gods as Tulpas versus Gods as Progenitors

    Good topic. I have used all of these in different settings over the years. Apotheosis is fun. Especially with long-lived and immortal races, having people who knew a god before their ascension would be fascinating. Imagine an ancient elven seer who talks about Grognar, hero-god of competition...

    D&D General Is Spelljammer really that bad?

    To start, I love Spelljammer. I love the 2E box Set. I even loved the 3E Spider Moon write-up in Dragon. There is a lot of good in the 5E set, but there are some negatives. SJ5E has fewer pages than comparable products. Spelljammer has 192. Von Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, Ravnica, and Theros...

    D&D General How Weird Do You Like Your D&D

    Well, the WiSC is not a savage. You need something to be an appetizer before the main dish. Prior to this, the WiSC used the salad course to attract the rabbit. Economy of motion.

    D&D Movie/TV New Footage & Poster For D&D: Honor Among Thieves Movie

    The movie poster with the full cast is always disappointing. The teaser poster with the gold dragon ampersand and the silhouettes of the party is a much more iconic poster than this. I still prefer the early teaser focusing on the monsters. Honor Among Thieves Monster Poster

    D&D Movie/TV New Footage & Poster For D&D: Honor Among Thieves Movie

    The Red is Themberchaud so his Rubenesque physique is part of the character. I am pleased that we are not getting Smaug 2.0 for the red. The black dragon design is, for good or bad, the iconic black dragon for D&D now. Hopefully, there is depth to the dragon to overcome your dislike of the...
