    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    possibly if $30 unlocked all content, and new books automatically went to you without having to buy them, maybe it would get to that sort of value, but I can only see that for one person in a group. I'm one currently not planning to stop using DNDBeyond, as the content sharing and characters...

    What are you reading in 2023?

    Reading 2 series at the moment - rereading the main series from the Aeon 14 books by M D Cooper, and going back through the Horus Heresy to catch up to where I got to years ago, and then have the fun of reading after Legacies of Betrayal for the first time. Will take a while, only up to Nemesis...

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    Re Vtt, their press release says the OGL won't cover VTT, so not sure that lines up. Outside of that, if they do their own VTT, they don't need to kill the OGL to prevent other content on there, they can just not allow it on there. If you meant they didn't want other VTTs out there with...

    D&D Beyond Twitter Account says OGL will be addressed soon

    Oh I agree, but their statement had that feel nonetheless.

    D&D Beyond Twitter Account says OGL will be addressed soon

    I don't know, probably used to everything in the gaming space, especially with the Soon TM stuff, but I'm used to soon being easily a few weeks.....

    What's All This About The OGL Going Away?

    My view is probably coloured by only getting D&D news from Enworld, and reading community posts there. So what I saw initially was this: https://www.enworld.org/threads/rumor-ogl-will-not-be-supported-starting-with-one-d-d.693091/ From 11th November, with a lot of speculation as to whether...

    What's All This About The OGL Going Away?

    I could be wrong, but didn't it start more or less out of nowhere, with a youtuber saying they heard the OGL was going away, before any time of questions being raised to WOTC for them to dodge - it was only after the video came out that people started asking WOTC questions.

    What's All This About The OGL Going Away?

    Wondering if it may be first step in either reducing content in something like DMs Guild (You can only publish stuff here if under 1.1 or the like) - or opening up DND Beyond to more parties, but only if using 1.1 OGL or the like.

    WotC WotC needs an Elon Musk

    But it wasn't perfectly managed by Doctor Strange, hence what happened near the end of the movie - and regarding Wandavision - perhaps the people expressing the opinions didn't pay much attention to / see the post credit scene of Wandavision. . It is a tricky area though, and part of the...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is positive?

    I don't know, I don't know what evidence they may be using, a lot of this may be going into prisoner's dilemna sort of such, where it may just be fear of what others may do that drive it. Why has Cluedo / Clue changed names of characters / locations over time? Why has Monopoly changed it's...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is positive?

    If people can't bring 2014 5e PHB to table using 2024 PHB, then yes there is an issue - I guess from what I have seen of the playtests thus far, I don't think this holds true. It may require slight tweaks here and there (like getting class ability at different level, not getting stat score from...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is positive?

    Fair enough if doesn't hold water for you, but for me it is like when a company may change it's branding, up to and including brand name, even with companies that are gradually losing market share and continue to do so post brand change, so why go to that expense? As they believe they would...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is positive?

    Well, depends on how well they can define metrics, but yes, I think if the books continue to sell as well as they are today, having the PHB still strongly up in the book ratings on Amazon etc, I think they could consider that a success. If they can determine who is buying the books, if they can...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is positive?

    I think they want people to buy the books, but I think it is new customers they want to continue buying the books, with some degree of existing customers. They want it to be a game that the likes of Critical Role and such will continue to play / stream, and might be looking to make changes they...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is positive?

    I think they are taking the opportunity to further refine the game, to make sure it still appeals to a large audience going forward as it does today - they fear that perhaps if they left it as it was with only minor errata, they could get left behind. So trying to keep main focus of game going...

    D&D 5E (2024) What is positive?

    I will say - I don't know it is a new edition or half edition - so I don't think saying 'we all know it's a new edition' is correct. Will further elaborate my thoughts in reply to one of your other posts.

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Philosophy thread

    I don't know, discussion I was having with @Levistus's_Leviathan earlier seemed to be heading towards an objective sort of view, albeit hard to prove - science can be used to objectively measure what is good or bad for people's health and wellbeing - whether through foods, medicines...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Philosophy thread

    Problem of portrayal of the Gods, and all the other species in Dragonlance, is that they are still presented has having very human behaviours (and for the other species, thoughts for the most part - the Kender having some differences here in their fearlessness / naivety but that is called out as...

    Dragonlance Dragonlance Philosophy thread

    That I can get behind / agree with, and is interesting to think that there is an objective good / evil, and that we are still learning the extent of it - some stuff we clearly define as evil today, well canvassed previously, but some items people in the past didn't consider evil, but always were...
