This thread was started by a lawyer that feels that they can just revoke/terminate it. The other lawyers in this this thread had not argued against the general right to terminate / revoke a license. Yes, there might be things that would block it, but those are theories and there is a feeling...

One theory is that they terminate all previous licenses leaving only the new one. They revoke them.

Any talk or speculation of selling out is pointless. First, selling out what? Is someone strongly on the record promoting open gaming content and then switched or went silent because Hasbro paid them to? If a business makes a business decision, that is not selling out. Second, the story is...

It would be incredibly hard to prove intent to fraud if they were going to release the new license and entered into the agreement in good faith. Why a DA would ever take that up if they cared about their win percentages (and they do) escapes me. A civil case would have to show damages.

There is a certain amount of hyperbole about the ability to go completely nuclear in this type of lawsuit. Federal lawsuits do not allow you to blindly select a location. Usually there needs to be a nexus and a reason. So many 3PP are in the greater Seattle area as is WoTC that any defense...

As a “suit” and specifically a public company finance professional, I can easily see where Hasbro is coming from. The tangible benefit to them is hard to measure. Royalty payments are sweet, sweet profits that boosts their investor relations (I am a Hasbro shareholder even). They pay a ton of...

I enjoy Cavill as an actor. I did not like the murdering Superman (nor the gun crazy Batman) that came from the last grouping of DC movies. So I agree that a change is needed.

Dynamics 365 is ERP software, not Office or Azure. They made the guy that ran the accounting software division the new D&D head.

For all the protecting Perkins on this in the thread, if this was Mearls there would be pages calling for his head. Perkins posts a good game on Twitter, but if this was his work and was so racist, maybe not ignore who did it? It also is a new 5e invention, none of that fluff was in the...

I would expect that Rol20 and FG would quickly have something that scrapes D&D Beyond or integrates. They will lose the revenue stream of the actual modules but will survive.

About the best that KS could do is to hold shipping funds until the project is ready to ship. So many no longer collect that via KS these days. Otherwise the people raising the money need it and once KS gives it to them they have little ability to do anything to get it back. They can ban people...

And no digital savings for the various bundles. Amazon prices probably will make the physical part the same as any bundle. So not sure why I would bother with the bundles.

What other topic that I want to paint them with? A tossed in aside about the latest of a long list of examples of why I don’t like the emphasis on the presenters instead of the content?

Make my own thread about my comment directly about the topic of this thread? That makes no sense. I don’t like the focus on who is presenting and making a big deal about it instead of what will be presented.

I note that WoTC is making a big deal about the hosts/influencers presenting. As if GenCon was not another example of the toxic news that regularly bubbles out from that part of the industry. I am waiting for teasers or the actual content. Not whatever person is reading the script.

I view that as the author's issue. They had a word count target and failed to deliver a cohesive product in that wordcount. Since we do not have the actual submisison, all we have is a complant that it was much better than what appeared. I doubt it. I increasingly feel that WoTC books are out...

When I looked at the characteristic grid and the flow of how it worked at a basic level, they looked very similar. They certainly are not that same but I can see the sword world lineage in the goblin slayer rules. I do not speak Japanese and the fan translation project is so so, but I could see...

The character sheets flow in very similar ways. Main characteristics flowing into a grid where each influences the others. I have only had time to skim the book so far, but interesting system and certainly not a D20 system.
