There must be a very strong appetite for this kind of material as there was just a $2M KS with similar themes

The book indicates the Unscene as an ultimate example of this dynamic, but applies the writers room and cinematic gameplay dynamic to the whole game. Personally, I dont really have an opinion about whether the writers room concept applies, except that it’s clearly a concept that at least some...

That last creature looks ferocious. Probably has a really high CR

Re: "writer's rooms," there are pbta games that describe themselves that way. For example, The Between p. 35

I nominate Mausritter. For me, it's actually the perfect distillation of OSR principles, and it teaches GMs how to run a game but also how to prep a sandbox in an extremely succinct and economical way. If you follow it's suggestions and tables you'll easily have enough material for a campaign...

This is a problem even in material plane world games. Like, why are the PCs the only ones to solve the problem of the evil cult or the army of dragons, or whatever? Aside from it simply being a trope in fantasy literature. This is exacerbated in planescape. For me I've found the better...

I predict there will be a lot of 3rd party 5e stuff hitting eBay in the coming years as people realize they are never going to play all their kickstarted content

I feel that to play AD&D by the book you would need to keep track of things in a detailed spreadsheet. And nothing kills weirdness like spreadsheets.

That's your opinion. Good for you! Other people who are enthusiasts in the hobby are more skeptical/suspicious of what Hasbro will do to the game in the pursuit of monetization and maximum growth. Still other people have decided to continue support 3rd party but never go back to 5e. etc...

It's been less than a year. The OGL fiasco ended up delaying a bunch of kickstarters many of which have yet to fulfill. It's one thing to say that the OGL was only an issue among enthusiasts, like the people who populate these boards--that the general customer base of wotc did not and does not...

Reminds me of this article: Playing D&D Can Save Your Life

Thank you and my thoughts exactly. Do we need yet another houseruled b/x created by yet another OSR chud? No, we do not. Mod Edit: link removed. ~Umbran

Ask your group, not enworld.

From what people have posted, this adventure seems to be adding a bespoke mechanic (though with mostly cosmetic effects). From the player's point of view, they've signed up to play the game according to the mechanics in the PHB. If you want to add supplemental rules, it seems to make sense to...

It's ok for there to be different types of games, and not all of those games have to put mechanics first. John Harper said it well (Blades in the Dark, p. 161) (And, without getting into it, I think this approach can be applied to the way someone might run a traditional game like dnd):

What do you mean "accused"? He straightforwardly was the CEO of a rightwing media company. If you like ACKS, fine, but there's nothing "alleged" about his associations

Divinity Original Sin 2 had a GM mode where you could create your own scenarios. Here is Matt Mercer showing it off 6 years ago Aside from that, I think the point is that a potential 3d vtt from wotc isn't going to be as visually impressive as BG3 for those that want that. For other people...

Interesting video from Dungeon Craft about the potential impact of BG3 on Wotc's new VTT. The argument is that the proposed VTT sits awkwardly between a videogame like BG3 and the tabletop experience. The result is that it might not have much of an audience. In other words, if you want...
