    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    You can, you can also donate directly. How many people do you think know of that and of that know actually do that every time? Edit: I did some math, and the people that adjust the pledge in favor of the charity, it's probably less then 20% of the people. Also keep in mind that Humble will...

    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    That's just a whole lot of marketing, by default divider is: Default Donation (€27.65): €13.82 to Alchemy RPG €1.39 to Direct Relief €12.44 to Humble So most of the money go to Alchemy (and I suspect to FL via license fees) and Humble (Bundle) itself. It might act like a charity...

    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    Yes that's on FL. What's on Alchemy is that FL even has this option on the Alchemy platform. They could of course pull product licenses, that should stop new sales, but shouldn't impact existing sales to customers. What if FL changes their policies again and ask Alchemy to completely pull their...

    D&D General Huge Equipment Lists: Good, Bad, or Ugly?

    It's either that or the DM forks over a Bag of Holding, as they quickly get tired of me going: "I don't trust the neighborhood here to park my mule! Let's go somewhere else..." or "The parking is insufficient at that dungeon for my horse and wagon, let's move on..." ;)

    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    Of course, you can download beforehand. But for most consumers, that don't have a backup strategy, when they accidentally delete their pdfs, loose their phone, burn their HDD/SSD, etc. They were expecting to re-download that pdf in case of failure. I expected to do that with my Humble Bundle...

    Free League forcing Alchemy VTT to remove PDFs - Anti-consumer behaviour?

    Many folks just bought that Humble Bundle with Free League stuff just for the PDFs. I find it interesting that they can remove things you already 'own' without your consent. Are they also able to do that on services like Humble Bundle itself, Bundle of Holding, or DriveThruRPG, etc? Or is this...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    I don't disagree, but your last paragraph is making way too light of the situation or the underlying issue. IF it's an individual that does something on it's own that doesn't have the authority to do so, internal processes need to be adjusted. Hasbro owns WotC now for 25+ years, if this isn't...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    Well, I watched that partly before you mentioned it and that was actually what motivated my post/perspective. And imho there can be a significant difference between what people say and what they do. Or even what people belief they are doing and what they are actually doing. He (and you) can...

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    If it is, could you instead of giving your interpretation, quote each step from the new PHB (with page number)? I've strung the separate rules together and that leaves a LOT of interpretation and making pretty big leaps between each rule. For example the Hide Action talks about 'finding', that...

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    Where is that action listed? ;) If things were that simple, we wouldn't be having a 1200+ reaction discussion... I have a LOT of issues with these rules, parts of it are scattered all over the PHB and it's up to us to assemble that in a working whole? And I have this sneaking suspicion that...

    Possible copyright strike on YouTube (have three of those and you're out!)? This behavior might influence other (potential) partners from ever working with him in the future. And whether or not he views himself a WOTC partner or not, he effectively is by accepting the early access to PHB and...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    Maybe because a pdf for the whole PHB 2024 showed up online stamped across each spread with: (c) Wizards of The Coast FOR USE ONLY BY DnDShorts

    Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive TTRPG Makes $1M In Under An Hour

    At a certain point you could take some initiative and read some blurbs on GoodReads for example: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/38550.Brandon_Sanderson I'm not a fan, I think I tried reading one of his books once and that didn't stick at the time (no clue which one to be honest)...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB/DMG/MM art/layout: like or dislike?

    From other threads I'm seeing some people expressing either positive or negative views on the 2024 D&D PHB/DMG/MM art, but I often don't see a reason why. From what I've seen from the PHB and the previews of the other books I can say I dislike the art/layout of the 2024 D&D PHB/DMG/MM as a...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    About $4.67 Billion to get 51% of Hasbro... (at the moment). You just need another 75 million like minded people with $62.50 in their pocket... Yeah... Getting a consensus in that amount of people... Good luck! ;) Jaywalking is also illegal... Have you never done that? When a cop sees that...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    These extreme actions by WotC/Hasbro legal and management tend to come from people that don't (want to) understand how piracy works. The moment they release the book on DDB, it's going to be ripped to a pdf, the moment they sell one of the books, ship one of the books to reviewers, etc. There...

    Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive TTRPG Makes $1M In Under An Hour

    This just hit $2 million, Brotherwise Games has never done an RPG before, just board games and minis for the BS universe. Don't know how much trust I would put into that. But it's BS, so it's gonna sell extremely well! I think they'll blow past that $10 million mark. Especially with a $385...
