I am a CFO who regularly attends investment conferences and I talk to my fellow CFOs. That a good enough source? Been a CFO for almost 20 years now.

There are a lot of CFOs who played D&D in High School and a reasonable number of CEOs as well. GenX is more and more coming into ther age and experience where they end up on public company Boards and the number of them that played D&D is pretty high.

Flawless victory!

" Wizards of the Coast, which includes Dungeons and Dragons, Magic: The Gathering and digital gaming, will remain a bright spot, the toymaker said. The company expects the division to have generated $339 million in revenue during the fourth quarter, up 22% compared to last year, and reach $1.33...

Looking for images to use for tokens that are public domain, I stumbled across this at rawpixel.com: " 4. You cannot use our images in any ways that do not meet our basic Standards: You must not use our images in connection with any communication, document or material which: is defamatory of...

I am not sure why people are using emotional arguments against what pemerton is saying. If he says that the FAQ does not say and the license does not say that it will be offered forever, take that at face value. If he is wrong, point him to the text that WoTC put forth otherwise. If you read...

D&D Beyond has solid subscription revenue and digital sales. Very scalable and Curse did all the initial software spending outlay while WoTC made license revenue at low risk. WoTC put the hammer down on competition on DMs Guild and then scooped it up when it was a proven success. Most...

Going from memory from the latest investor presentations I think they said that D&D passed $100M in revenue.

To be clear, I think this is a Trojan horse to attack 1.0a with. However, if they were allowing their trademark and brand trade dress in a license then I think they would be remarkably foolish to not require people using it to obey a code of conduct with real teeth in the agreement. There is...

Funny enough, that is exactly what my post said. I said there is no support to remove 1.0a because of the reasons they stated and they could use the branding permission as a big carrot if hate speech was the only issue and drag people that way without touching 1.0a. That does not remove the...

I am pretty sure they vastly outsell any competition even with their more poorly received products. It may be lower than their internal expectations but they still sell a lot. And they own the core rulebook market. Players Handbook is needed by everyone.

pemerton is giving straightforward answers. There is a huge thread with multiple lawyers discussing the OGL and many answers were similar to what he has said here. I think that many people are mistaking the arguments a litigator would be making vs. a lawyer that is reading contract clauses. A...

(Reposting from another thread) Adding the the branding with the trademark ampersand does mean that the case for a morality clause is stronger with this license. But it is not needed for 1.0a as the use of WoTC brands and trademarks is already forbidden. The only reason they cite is the need...

I think most “hardcore” players know lots of “casual” players and will spread the word. Hardcore and engaged players tend to be active in local stores as well. As an example, the leaders of the main AL group in the East Bay of SF where I live publicly have said they are evaluating future...

My point is the refute the arguments used hiding behind the need for the morality clause for the greater good of gaming to the point that 1.0a has to die.

Adding the the branding with the trademark ampersand does mean that the case for a morality clause is stronger with this license. But it is not needed for 1.0a as the use of WoTC brands and trademarks is already forbidden. The only reason they cite is the need to deauthorize the old license is...

Other than being an over reach of describing Foundry as the only solution that adds in extra graphic and sound triggers (Fantasy Grounds has pretty detailed sound triggers before Foundry was out and there is reasonable amount of animation built in now and the system is certainly capable of what...

I have RGB strips around my gaming table that I can trigger to make the table red orange and yellow like flames and shoot from my to the person with initiative. That "cannot be done at the table top" is weak wording. Plus, most leading VTT have flickering lights, rain, and other animations...

Oh look, first they trying to fight against the bad non-inclusiveness people. Bad bad. See, they fixed their own issue but they have the hammer to completely destroy others when they just fixed it in new printings but they can terminate the license which make those other guys, not the Slave...

Slave Space Monkies. Yep. all is good here. Just trust those guys on the west coast and how they view the world. How about, no. How about not tarring people that do not trust WoTC as racists and being less inclusive when 20 years ago Thirsty Sword Lesbians might have been offensive enough that...
