That is a quick turnaround time. But they have lots of 5e content that they can quickly leverage into a full game. I'd expect to see lots of AiME in the new C7d20 RPG... While in the short term a balkanization of competing 5E-alikes will happen. Eventually one will emerge on top. The hobby...

I find the corporate logic of that entirely persuasive. It would not surprise me in the least if those rumors all come true.

I do not see any scenario where that will happen. They have spent far too much money acquiring D&D beyond, and creating the OneVTT to back down now.

It would still be very expensive and painful for Pazio as well. Just slightly less so than it would be for others. And wotc could drag things out in court for years... Exactly. Pazio is going to do what is best for Pazio. If removing trademarked terms and using ORC is enough to keep them...

Absolutely true. That is also the entire reason that wotc is going all-in on the D&D OneVTT. WotC wants what Diablo Immortal has. They are hoping to convert their current player network into a VTT money making machine. And the haters can all eat cake...

But is it ? 4e was still the #1 RPG for years in spite of all the backlash. Even now there are posts on enworld defending aspects of the 1.2 OGL draft... I would not bet against the inherent impulse of the majority of D&D players to consume the new hotness on release regardless of any current...

They don’t need four of a kind, when two pair will do nicely. WOTC doesn’t need a mega hit like WOW. They’d be just tickled pink with a Diablo Immortal... A game utterly reviled by Diablo fandom; Yet it's still a multimillion dollar micro transaction money maker, that brings in that fat...

It's the network effect. Most videgames, and even mmo's can be played solo, and are plug and play. Instant gratification. RPG's require at least one other person. Thus in RPG land the game that it's easiest to find that one other person to game with, has tended to dominate. Anything that...

So a Fantasy Heartbreaker by committee then. Totally different. ROTFL.:ROFLMAO: That being said I'm actually looking forward to the glut of fantasy heartbreakers coming out in the next few years. There should be some good D&D alternatives in there. Somewhere. Best counterargument against...

WotC is absolutely counting on this effect. Later in the video he does mention that people are likely conflating two different things. The $30.0 charge is for the top-tier access on the OneVTT. The $30.0 for D&D beyond has been debunked. Note that OneVTT, and D&D beyond are not the same...

Well, there are valid reasons to believe that WotC will not back down from "deauthorizing" the 1.0 OGL. ^This^ Wotc is what poker players call Pot-Invested on this. They have sunk so much money on the OneVTT initiative that they have to se it through in order to get a return on their...

I don't agree with everything said in the article. But this: He's not wrong... The vast swath of D&D players completely unwilling to even try another game is something unique to RPG's compared to the computer gaming industry. Most RPG players are not "gamers" in the general sense. Most RPG...

Everything from the dialogue, to actions shots, make this feel like a marvel avengers movie in a fantasy setting. In the movies defense: Past the early levels Official D&D has been fantasy superheroes for a while now...

As I read it; Yes. As the AD&D retro clones were based on reverse engineering from the original OGL/SRD I don't see how all they would survive without litigation if 1.2 goes into effect... Still revoking the 1.0a OGL. Poisoned Pill "morality clause" is still in effect. Sometimes there are...

Which will never happen. It would defeat the whole purpose of 1.2; Which is to give Wotc more control over their IP. I don't understand why anyone would be okay with strangers enforcing any kind of "Morality Clause". Because: Exactly. WotC = Literally the same people that recently put...

And if that organization takes a different stance from you on a hot-button political issue; would you still trust that organization deciding what's right and wrong then?? ^Poisoned. Pill.^ Wotc will not farm out enforcement of their "Morality Clause" when the whole point of all of this is to...

Whatever Wotc says it is. ^This is not hard.^ Any "Morality Clause" is a poisoned pill.

I'd do this to D&D… Roll 4d6 drop lowest for a 3-18 range to get the modifier at character creation. Use the modifier Only for the rest of the game. I like systems where the players have to make relevant choices for their characters. This is something I’d like to see D&D fully embrace. And I...

Lots of them if the OneVTT hits big enough. There was the whole Magic Gate/Quartering scandal about WOTC's MtG volunteer Judge program's lack of screening for pedophiles and sex offenders, and there were a lot of them in the volunteer MtG Judge program. A search for: The Quartering, Lou...
