We aren't talking about most companies, we are talking about Wizards of the Coast. They just screwed the pooch and have mortally wounded their cash cow - M:TG. Moreover, we can guess exactly why this happened, too. With M:TG, execs at WotC who are compensated, in part, on increases in sales...

They don't allow that now. Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds purchases are unique to those platforms. Foundry VTT avoids that by letting a community member's patreon importer just import it all directly from DDB without additional cost (well, other than to that patreon's modest monthly cost $3 or $6 a...

I don't know how "lucky" that will be. I am just as likely to have had her balk at the cost of the deluxe edition (over $200 in $CAD) and have her explain that "I'll have to wait until March" for that. My SotDQ Session 0 was yesterday. We play every other week, but as that puts our game on Xmas...

It will depend on the quality of their tools. As I indicated earlier on this thread, what WotC really has is brand recognition and top-of-mind. There are lots of competitors out there, and some of them make products that are high in quality and are substitute goods. If their tools aren't good...

It would be a tool that I and a group of people worked on from 2008-2010 before the project ended and was left in largely vaporware state. That VTT could use a 2d map, scanned or otherwise imported. It would attempt to recognize objects and then prompt for user input to flag make changes in...

It does, and it is the only way for spells, items, abilities, etc. not in the SRD to be imported into Foundry VTT, automatically. But it isn't Foundry which does this, it is the work of a particular patreon, run by "Mr. Primate" that permits it. Foundry on its own does not and cannot. Anybody...

That makes sense. And I do have some issues with some of the matters they still refer to in Dragons of Deceit which are not helpful from a 5e game perspective (No Gurlz Aloud in the KoS, say). So yes, that makes sense. Thanks.

I have them and find them useful, but to be candid, more crunch and 5e stat blocks for the encounters in the classic DL campaign for the WotL is what I am still missing. There are some community efforts already aimed at that -- and of course, I can do them as well. Still, that would be my...

Yup. It's even worse for me as I was dumb enough to mention WoK as one of my two gift requests from my wife. So now I have to wait - and only on Xmas morn will I know if she managed to find one, else, I will then have to. I didn't realize it would be a problem when I made the suggestion on the...

Is it? I have no idea of the contract terms WotC has with Random House. [ Edit: Ah. The license was granted to the authors. Got it. ] Your post prompted me to look at the cover for Dragons of Deciet (I have it on audiobook; it's... okay I guess) and this logo is on the cover. I have never seen...

Likely is a DM's Guild licensing issue. I'll end up using it, but the modifications to DL1 in DoA - especially with Haven - is a must have addition imo. There's not a great deal of difference in any event, so it's not a big deal. Just borg the two together and off you go.

I'm jelly of the boardgame! Quite frustrated about the availability of that one. sigh

The number of employees and sheer cost it takes to create sharing rules text is minor. And to be blunt, those employees don't cost NEARLY as much as competent programmers, environmental & texture artists, 3d creature artists and technical artists and tech designers. On average, those employees...

That's true. But if I am planning on finally leveraging the D&D Brand to make World of Warcraft money, I need to sell subscriptions to not just DMs, but players, too. They want to bill every member of every gaming group monthly. Make no mistake, that's the plan. MMO money. That's the goal. It...

No they didn't. I am not sure what was behind that, but given delays in manufacturing and the logistics of Xmas shipments from China, that may explain a great deal. Still, Hasbro doesn't have to wait in the "general" line when it comes to mftring. They are a historically valued client with...

The one that comes from DDB. I don't buy physical books anymore.

If WotC is serious about this, they will have to create a toolset similar to the Aurora toolset for NWN1 -- and ideally, just as easy to use by Trent Oster's grandmother as the Aurora toolset was -- based on the Unreal 5 engine (their stated licensed game/lighting engine). And then, they have to...

I don't know yet. Warriors of Krynn was available as part of the Deluxe Pre-order -- and I only got the digital version of the book. Worse, I made the mistake of mentioning it as a potential Xmas gift to my wife so now I'm stuck not being able to get it right now. If I don't get it as a gift, I...
