    D&D 5E (2014) What I want from a more monetized D&D

    VTT also means being able to sell virtual minis, landscapes, premade dungeons, etc. There's a gold mine in VTT when it comes to potential microtransactions, which people probably won't mind as long as they can also build or import their own stuff to a degree. They can even build a player-driven...

    D&D 5E (2024) The Very Real Possibility and Impact of Microtransactions in One D&D

    With VTT, WotC can sell virtual minis as microtransactions, selling packs and individual pieces, using existing templates as well as new ones, avoiding the costs of physical production. Character builders can emulate to some extent how the character creators in RPG Maker engines work, with...

    D&D General Fantasy Equivalent of the Nuke

    Realmslore has Elven High Magic, which has groups of elven/drow mages collectively casting in a method that is allowed to surpass 9th level spells under the rules of Mystra's Ban. Elven high magic

    WotC What MTG/D&D crossover material would you want to see?

    I might end up writing such a product since I've been compiling planar lore for my series of deity lore pamphlets on DMsGuild. That said, I think Kamigawa Neon Dynasty would be an interesting crossover as cyber-mage-punk is one of the areas yet to be explored in official DnD settings (Eberron...

    D&D 5E (2014) Which D&D books currently scheduled for 2023 are you interested in?

    Planescape is going to be the most important one imo, as it may address the cosmology of the multiverse, and could fill in a huge gap that has been kept empty on DMsGuild, at least for lore projects. I've had to do a lot of research and gap-bridging for the planar lore in my deity lore...

    D&D General [CC SRD and OGL] Good OGL Product Full of 5e Spells?

    (Assuming this is for a campaign being prepared for the OP's group) There is also DMsGuild. I wrote a few books of magic spells with balance against the PHB spells in mind. THE GRIM: Spells of Necromancy (5e) - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild THE PRESTIGE: Spells of Illusion...

    WotC Backs Down: Original OGL To Be Left Untouched; Whole 5E Rules Released as Creative Commons

    This is a big drastic move, which they absolutely needed to salvage the situation. Some will probably say this was a publicity stunt, but if the OGL is left untouched and the SRD becomes future-proofed from future regimes with a CC license, the tabletop gaming industry will be able to breathe a...

    WotC Unveils Draft of New Open Gaming License

    An immortal can still die if slain with a magic blade. That might be how they are trying to frame the difference between [perpetual] and [irrevocable]. Eternal life versus invincibility.

    Looking For Research Recommendations In Tabletop RPG Crowdfunding

    Thanks Morrus! :love: I just remembered that Blade Runner had a mega successful campaign last year. I'll add the link to the original post for anyone reading this thread.

    WotC To Give Core D&D Mechanics To Community Via Creative Commons

    If I'm not mistaken, this looks like somebody at WotC has been keeping up with the discussions on forums and social media. Although game mechanics can't be copyrighted, the expression of them CAN be copyrighted. If I'm not mistaken, the CC for WotC's expression of DND core mechanics is to make...

    Looking For Research Recommendations In Tabletop RPG Crowdfunding

    As a small time community creator on DMsGuild, I'm having to prepare for the worst in case WotC offends the tabletop RPG community even more. I still have a couple of big projects in the works that I can't transfer to a different system due to being setting-related, so I'm possibly going to take...

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

    I got over-excited and tried to start a new thread on this without checking the news feed (sorry Morrus). I'll post here what I wrote as a suggestion though. Personally, I'd recommend that everyone taking the survey, if possible, demand the term "irrevocable" applied to the final draft (which...

    Kyle Brink, Executive Producer on D&D, has posted on DnDBeyond. A Working Conversation About the Open Game License (OGL) Another apology, which most will take with a grain of salt at this point. Some clarification on what is planned, and a draft document+survey coming up on January 20 or...

    D&D General Here we are again

    Based on what evidence? Has there been any leaked directive specifically authored by Chris Cocks from 12+ months ago? Chris Cocks may have agreed with Cynthia Williams that DnD was "under-monetized", but that can mean any number of things not having to do with the OGL, including Mr. Cocks'...

    D&D General Here we are again

    IMO, the WotC execs in charge of DnD brand and licensing would be the adversary for this particular conflict, not the Hasbro overlords. The Hasbro overlords are the ones who can replace and/or fire the WotC execs in charge of DnD brand and licensing. The Hasbro overlords care about profit...
