I have used 3rd party stuff from Kobold Press extensively. I have most of the pdfs and a lot of the material for Roll20, so absolutely yes. They are also my first choice for the Black Flag system, although I am sure that is a long way out from actually being published.

I can't imagine what is going through the heads of Hasbro corporate right now. They want to save face AND save money and put this debacle behind them, but are probably second guessing every decision they make at this point because it seems to be the wrong ones.

No, I will continue playing. I really want to dip into Spelljammer for a while and already have it prepped in Roll20. Down the road when Kobold or some other company releases their new game I will reevaluate. I have been kinda bored with 5e for a while and wanted something new, but also didn't...

That was my main concern; you get 5-6 publishers putting out 5-6 different fantasy games, there's no way the public can keep up. In an ideal world they could co-create a core game and all SHARE supplementing it, but I don't know if such a thing is even possible. It would be unprecedented.

For me, I think what will come from this is the actual "6e" I wanted, not the slightly 5.5 updated version D&D that WotC planned, but it will come from one (or more) of the other extremely talented developers. EDIT: And I would be perfectly happy is a core PHB focused on levels 1-10 and left...

Whoa. Now that would be something special. EDIT: And that is the kind of modular game D&D SHOULD be, or rather, whatever version of D&D springs from this new era. If you want an Ars Magica magic system, there is a mod you can plug in.

yeah, I tried PF2, it is definitely not for me. I am curious about what Kobold comes out with and some of the other big hitters.

I have two groups, one is casual (Strahd), the other is far more advanced (Margreve) and the latter we have discussed internally the OGL 1.1 and its implications. I had already for a long while been planning to incorporate Level Up material into my next campaign, whenever that might be...

Yeah, if Paizo and Kobold and another big one worked together, that would be amazing.

You can't go wrong with Masks. Which version are you using? They came out with a truly massive, massive expansion version of Masks a few years ago. If interested, you can read the recap on my blog here: https://jmhauser.com/roleplaying-games/the-complete-masks-of-nyarlathotep/ This is the...

I have been running Tales from the Old Margreve for 3 years now, with healthy doses of other KP products and my own ideas, so the original module has been bastardized into something unrecognizable, but it is still mostly Kobold ideas and themes. I think their material is even better than WotC...

I don't know for SURE if I will bail on 6e yet. I am not a developer, but it disgusts me how they're crushing the competition and putting down small businesses, and reaping huge profits from the bigger guys. I have used Kobold Press extensively the past three years, and honestly I think their...

That's what happened to me at the beginning of the pandemic. I was forced to play online, and I had vehemently avoided Roll20 for years, didn't want to deal with the learning curve or "subpar online play". I had thousands invested in minis and terrain, BUT, when I got into the swing of online...

Of my readers, what do you think of the changes I've done?

So, ironically, my OTHER actual Strahd group campaign is 77 sessions into Strahd and I am reusing these maps and massively changing them for the Margreve campaign.

I wouldn't mind seeing actual scores utilized more. Such as, "You need a 17 Strength to lift that table, no roll needed." or, "You need a combined 30 Strength to roll the boulder aside."
