@SlyFlourish I was able to thread together my first clear connection that WotC/Hasbro's push toward digitalization IS indeed influencing the design of the 2024 TTRPG. At least this is the clearest connection I've heard about. First, a strong caveat: This could turn out to be false, if the...

Ah, apologies, that wasn't clear to me.

He's extremely gracious.

I highly recommend watching Jorphdan's latest video summarizing his experience with getting his video copyright striked. He's thorough and, from my perspective very understanding and forgiving. edit: Apparently, you'll need to hop over to YouTube to watch it. 13 minutes.

What on earth? I was trying to be as clear as possible that the poll was directed to a niche of folks not interested in purchasing D&D. I say as much. It's not about assuming anything about overall purchasing trends. I say as much. I cite the previous poll that we had on ENWorld. Whatever...

You either die a GM, or live long enough to see yourself become a designer. ;)

Saudi Public Investment Fund? That's a trip... Not to go all the way down the majority shareholder rabbit hole, but having BlackRock own 7 million shares of your company (Hasbro) is bad news. At least in my humble view. I know this stuff is rampant and also circular (e.g. Bank of America...

Alack, I cannot edit existing questions in a poll, apologies! Your point is well taken.

Same thing happens 10 times in a row, unless a player character intervenes.

I'm curious about ENWorlders who are currently not interested in purchasing 2024 D&D, and your reasons for that. We previously had a poll with 172 respondents (as of today, 8-11-2024) which revealed that about half of the survey-responding ENWorlders plan to purchase 2024 D&D (48.2%), about...

You all are great. This is 100% the way. I bequeathed core books to my local library, a bunch of old books to my friend's younger bro, and most of my 5e books to my nephew. Edit: And I still have the Rules Cyclopedia and Mines of Bloodstone that were bequeathed to me by my friend's older brother.

That's true. There's a difference between short-term/onboarding and long-term/longevity. For short-term/onboarding, I agree with you. Class+Species is enough to go on, and Background can be a charop thing (or dropped entirely). Honestly, if new PHB is intended to onboard folks like you say, I...

Hey Kobold! I hope to hear more about the games you run in 2024! Always like reading your thoughts. Based on what I've seen so far of the new PHB, I think there are slight changes that are going to have a big long-term impact on how players engage with the game. I believe one impact will be...

I'm pretty much just running one 5e game now (Rime of the Frostmaiden, play-by-post), and am mostly phasing out of GMing 5e. For RotF, I have a bunch of my own resources I've created and then I've referenced the following non-D&D books... A mountain/alpine survival guide, can't recall name...

The same thing happens.

No sooner has the magical bonfire sprung to life, than the weep-holes in the engraved likeness of dwarven face around the door's arch begin to glow bright white. A staccato sound echoes the corridor as four blurred streaks careen from the archway to strike the flagstones beneath the bonfire.

Heh. If there's one word that lets you know you've entered OSR territory, it's psychedelic.
