License seems to be with Gallant Knight Games (at least they are apparently planning a second edition of OpenD6 - see this reply to my comment on Twitter). I'd doubt they have the money for the license, though. If anything, a 5e version of Star Wars seems more likely to me (I would personally...

Yeah, that one is the best 5e version I'm aware of. I have another one that says it's a d20 game, but I don't remember from where I got it.

I think I still would not be super enthusiastic because of the 5e rules as a foundation, but if they e.g. did an official adaptation of Mass Effect or a 5e version of Gamma World, I would probably check it out.

Not excited (1). And by that I don't mean that I think it will be bad. Yet given that this will be essentially a cleaned up version of 5e and I have already closed the books on 5e, there's nothing to be excited about. I would get way more excited, or at least interested, if it was a new edition...

Thanks! Things do seem to be better today. So maybe it was an intermediate issue.

The design of hit points in D&D is a clear indication that Gary Gygax was indeed a Great Old One - thus the constant sanity loss when you think about them too hard 🙃

It started a day or two back, but especially today, ENWorld seems to load rather slowly, especially in threads that contain images - e.g. if I load People make amazing D&D Art, it takes multiple minutes until the thread is fully displayed (on a 100MBit/s connection). Is there maintenance work...

I would agree here. In the groups I play in, we try to avoid the super rail-roady modules, but when we play longer pre-made adventures, the consensus is indeed: the GM tries to give the players as much freedom as possible within the constraints of the adventure, but the players also do not stray...

They are slightly better over here (in Germany) thanks to a thing we call "Buchpreisbindung", meaning you have a fixed book price and Amazon cannot just discount smaller book shops out of business. But looking at my own purchases, ever since I moved to a small town, most of my orders are from...

About a decade. I think it was 2012, but it might also have been 2014 (I was a PhD student back then and lucky enough to have a conference paper at a top-level conference, so my professor/department sponsored the trip - otherwise trips to the US are always a bit pricey).

Visiting a book store never hurts, but I think you should be fine with any large book store that sells fantasy or history books - there's probably particularly great B&N stores (the Americans here can probably shed more light on this), but the one I visited (in Bellevue near Seattle) was lovely...

An American book store chain (largest one in the US if we believe Wikipedia).

Web forums are IMO a medium for "old" people, meaning older Gen Y and Gen X. If you weren't around when they were "the thing" for discussion on the Internet, you are, in my experience, less likely to join a forum and more likely to resort to social media, Discord or Youtube (or sometimes groups...

I joined in 2017 when the 5e hype train was running full steam. I probably visited a bit earlier, but I don’t think I consciously came here before 2016 (the Internet was not too important for my roleplaying endeavours for the first 20 years, at least not beyond character management software and...
