if you live in Canada, US tariffs should not matter to you, unless the book gets imported to the US first and then sent to Canada, something I would expect any sane person to avoid

these days yes, in 2e it was more the Paladin or Cleric of a Sorcerer-King

nothing, they have no idea what it is and lack the tools to make use of it ;)

DCC, with its funky dice and spell mishap tables? Did you mean OSE?

that would explain groups not switching, but games at conventions? I expected those to almost exclusively use the current version as they either try to onboard new people or sell new products that are presumably made with the latest version in mind Personally I agree that 2024 changed too...

maybe in the US, no idea, today is certainly the first time I heard of that as being a DS theme. That idea is also contradicted by basically every metric in the real world… I always saw greed, corruption and environmental destruction as the main theme, and they are more relevant than ever

and yet both are up, just like your play time, so there is that ;)

the answer might be that at that point it is entirely / mostly recycled material that many have already, reducing the number of people interested in it.

licensing was basically flat, so it did not drop a lot, not sure what % of overall D&D it is however

yeah, SD was timed perfectly to benefit from it. Not sure anyone else managed to catch that window at all though, rather than just a generally slightly elevated level of resentment towards WotC

keep in mind that the brand is not the same as actual D&D book sales…

did he put a date on the prediction? The thing might still be ahead. The premise of ‘as D&D goes, so does the hobby’ is one I see in this forum repeatedly, so not sure he was wrong about that. What he probably is wrong about is how much harm the OGL debacle did to WotC / D&D, and as a...

yeah, no surprise there. I don’t think anyone was expecting WotC to release a new edition and sales of the core books to drop as a result of that. The real question is how long they can sustain that, ie is D&D actually growing faster as a result or are the increased sales solely due to upgrades...

sounds like Sweden’s version of Sigil ;)

yes, and bundles generally should be cheaper than buying the individual items, so whether you call it overcharging or not, it disincentivizes going with the digital bundle, and I can see why that might get you to question the whole thing and how much you want / need it too

it will take more than 7 species to justify the $20 price tag… if it contains the MotM ones, would they not say that it includes more than 7?

I don’t know, on the one hand 5e was an outlier, but at the same time you would not release a new edition that you expect to have worse sales than you would expect to get from simply staying with the current edition The verdict on this one will still be out for a while in either case

try Google, this was one of the top results but does not go into much detail about that movie https://thewertzone.blogspot.com/2018/02/dungeons-and-dragons-movie-switches.html?m=1 also https://www.enworld.org/threads/d-d-movie-takes-cues-from-guardians-of-the-galaxy.663630/

sounds like you are giving Cosmere more of a chance than Daggerheart got. Where did DH go wrong?

I agree with both, I kinda like the ToV changes over the 5.5 ones tho, but ultimately neither went far enough imo. The OGL accelerated at a minimum several of the games, including ToV, SD, and SotWW, probably also Draw Steel. They were all in the works before WotC decided to blow up their fanbase
