    D&D General D&D Loyalty?

    D&D is just a name (or an acronym). It's different editions and incarnations are quite different from each other. PF1 was far closer to 3.5 than 4e. So which game was I supposed to feel loyalty to? It's the same issue with settings. Ravenloft, Dragonlance or the Realms changed a lot over the...

    D&D 5E (2014) When did you last buy a WotC D&D5e product? (not a third party or DM Guild)

    I stopped buying them after the OGL debacle, but their last product I really enjoyed was 5e Eberron, so I should have stopped buying their books sooner.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    WotC is probably betting on people to forget about the other SRDs. How many people still care about the 3.5 SRD? Pathfinder Remastered severed its remaining ties. The most interesting part of it would be the monsters as many iconic D&D specific monsters are in it. But most folks are far more...

    D&D General Tech in DnD; What should be included and how much is too much? (+)

    To be fair, many modern people and societies don't understand inflation, either. I have no problems with firearms in fantasy, historically, they were used alongside melee weapons for centuries. The printing press was a far more disruptive technology, even though it used combined several earlier...

    D&D 5E (2024) What would be the path between Wildshape Templates and Use an Beast statblock?

    Why not do what PF1 did? Modify stats based on the size of the creature and add all the creatures abilities that your level allows. Alternatively, do something similar to 3.5 Astral Constructs to emulate the beast in question. Similar to templates, but more flexible. At least there's no longer a...

    D&D General D&D Book Prices Are Going Up

    I guess "being inclusive" doesn't include including the poor. Money is the ultimate gatekeeper, after all. It's not like they couldn't release A5 softcover versions of the books like Paizo or other publishers do.

    Pathfinder Abomination Vaults Hack & Slash Game Coming To Kickstarter

    I'm not sure how well Abomination Vaults translates to that subgenre, considering it has a huge amounts of somewhat neutral encounters. But I liked the original BG: Dark Alliance and especially Dark Alliance 2. If that's the direction they are going, I'm somewhat optimistic. I'm less interested...

    D&D 5E (2014) Keith Baker Presents Closing Doors On Eberron

    What are they supposed to say? That they are excited to reenvision the setting for a new audience and how everybody won? We got lucky that Keith worked on 5e Eberron and it turned out great, but he relinquished the rights to the setting nearly 20 years ago. So it's far better for him to let go...

    D&D 5E (2024) They butchered the warlock in the new packet

    Stuff like this makes me glad I switched to another system. With these changes the game formerly known as 1D&D becomes even less like the 3.5/PF(/4E) I liked with different classes using different subsystems.

    D&D 5E (2014) When Did 5E Peak Quality Wise?

    Eberron. Most later books, especially classic campaign settings, have been underwhelming and disappointing.

    D&D 5E (2014) Upcoming D&D Tidbits: Phandelver, Book of Many Things, Venger, & More!

    Comet, ? ,Key, Fool (or Jester), Fates, Rogue?

    D&D General Yes, You Can Get D&D Boxer Shorts Now

    Could have used one of those "Warning! Content is intended for mature audiences only." labels the Book of Vile Darkness and the Book of Exalted Deeds had.

    Pathfinder 2E Paizo announced Tian Xia World Guide, Character Guide, and the Season of Ghosts adventure path.

    Tengu are already in the APG and Nagaji in Impossible Lands, so I wouldn't expect them to repeat the info on those Ancestries.

    WOTC "Dungeon" CD: old dungeon generator

    Well, here's a photo of the CD with the Dungeon Issue in question. It ran fine on Wine without any issues. I used to have two copies of the CD, one from Dungeon #87 and one from Dragon #284, but I might have given one away. The menu makes me think that it was also included with Top Deck and Star...

    WOTC "Dungeon" CD: old dungeon generator

    It's from Dungeon #87. I own the issue and the CD, but I'm currently in the process of moving, so I can't check it out easily. I'll take a look, later. https://paizo.com/products/btpy7tq5?Dungeon-Issue-87 It was actually the first issue of Dungeon I purchased when I got into D&D from other systems.

    WotC So it seems D&D has picked a side on the AI art debate.

    Exactly, how dare those stock photos to copy Marvel's art?
