    What WotC licenses remain?

    AEG produces the Rokugan setting which is Legend of the Five Rings done in D20 mode. They will likely have to stop using D&D mechanics and go back to their proprietary mechanics. The most recent Rokugan books came out with details for both game systems.

    Geisha: Defunct Dragon Article Submission

    Great. I didn't think you would mind, but I wanted to make sure. My spring college course load is nearing the end so I may have a couple of weeks before my summer batch of classes begins. I will try to revisit this and other projects then.

    Now WotC has taken Dragonlance (merged)

    WotC's activities lately are shameful (IMO). We will probably see Oriental Adventures join the ranks of 'license not renewed', although personally I would like to see a new treatment of that material (especially if revamped for Kara-Tur).

    Geisha: Defunct Dragon Article Submission

    I was prepping this topic for possible submission to Dragon Magazine, but with the recent news I do not think this will be going anywhere. You may have seen the class in previous threads but I was preparing a gussied-up version (and edited) for the visual impact (with some images gleaned from...

    Humor - OotS #443

    So, not only Dragon and Dungeon, but OotS as well?!

    Implications of Dragon being sold [2002 Thread]

    Sounds like back then, folks said, "huh, wonder how this will pan out." & "hope they keep 'x' comic on board". No real outrage there. I guess this time around is something different? A lot of people barking up a storm (me included).

    WotC Replies: Statements by WotC employees regarding Dragon/Dungeon going online

    Nightfall, just kidding around but, are you getting paid for all these responses? ;) :uhoh:

    WotC Replies: Statements by WotC employees regarding Dragon/Dungeon going online

    FYI I would love to see another online outlet to compete with WotC, maybe something started by ENWorld. I would support it initially just for spite of WotC, then continuation would based on content/quality.

    WotC Replies: Statements by WotC employees regarding Dragon/Dungeon going online

    Yes, I find it odd that they are so excited for their online version of Dragon/Dungeon content, yet are dumbfounded and afraid to deal with this online reaction. :uhoh: They have a lot to prove to impress me.

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    I didn't say that I don't agree with maintaining a civil discussion. My post was rather even-keeled and non-confrontational, and the comment was really a positive plug for the behavior of most here on ENWorld. Things are way nicer here. I think you took my response a little out of context...

    Pathfinder 1E Paizo no longer publishing Dungeon and Dragon

    I don't really understand the stance of the mods here. I just went over to WotC forums to see how civil and understanding their actual customer base is.... not. The vitriol and resounding descriptions of their pain is played over and over again, with the occasional sycophantic response and...

    [Star Frontiers] Shotguns on the Frontier

    Make the neo/future-style shotgun have a cone shape area of effect. Have some serious damage dice at point-blank/adjacent, then substract damage dice for each square (or whatever unit is used - my StarFrontiers-fu is weak, it has been a long time). Sathar rule.

    What Game Rules should be my alternate for WotC products?

    I really didn't ask for snotty remarks. I really am hashing out a move away from this material, so if you don't have constructive suggestions, please refrain from posting. The intent here, is to compile realistic alternatives, no harm there. Additionally, you will note that I am not trying to...

    Could the Death of Dragon actually drive you from the Hobby?

    It sucks not to have the magazines. They are something that I look forward to 2x per month (1 dragon, 1 dungeon). Even if I don't use material from the magazine, it always is a good read and something that stimulates the imagination. Without the subscription, looks like I can go out movie and...

    Do you tell player's what the DC is for a check?

    I might say that this looks like a slim chance, or 'you are attempting a really difficult maneuver', but I seldom say the actual number. Saying the DC leads to Players who judge whether they will attempt things based upon results from others at the table.

    What Game Rules should be my alternate for WotC products?

    Popular concensus will usually locate both the highest population of support (larger fanbase/player base/etc) and most likely, the most competent rule-set (as non-competent rule-sets will not gain/keep popular support over time). I have been a relatively dedicated fanboy until now, not...

    Could Kenzer takeover Dragon?

    I am sure that their particular license agreement states specifically the types of products that they may produce, and since there was already Dragon & Dungeon being produced elsewhere, they most likely excluded that type of product (to prevent unnecessary competition amongst their licensees).

    What Game Rules should be my alternate for WotC products?

    Although I have fondness for D20 stuff, I feel that purchasing more of that does prop up WotC products (in an indirect way), and will forever tempt me with picking up something from said company. Additionally, since I DM at times, others may be influenced by my choice of game; If I support D20...

    New McFarlane Dragons!

    Those are some nice dragons. I especially like the Ice Clan one.
