“Similarly, with more than 80% of DUNGEONS & DRAGONS fans having already played the game virtually in 2021, aided by online digital platforms such as D&D Beyond, this acquisition accelerates the game’s ability to penetrate new markets, gather valuable consumer insights and provide players with...

You cannot sell anything not OGL-based. So none of the WoTC material. That is what is happening now for Pathfinder 2 - now that official material is available the “free” material is going away. Foundry does not have a license from WoTC, so they cannot sell official materials. Do not confuse...

I occasionally convert items for Fantasy Grounds and sell them on their store. Usually because I am going to use the material in my own game and a little extra effort is all it takes. I did Tome of Horrors which is a large 5e monster book. The number of hours spent to the actual pay received is...

This is Fantasy Grounds, but click and add walls. And doors. And windows. Etc. Takes hours and hours for any decent sized adventure with a reasonable amount of maps. If a module with only one letter sized map then 30 minutes to an hour depending on all the features. You also need player maps...

I am waiting for the scraping of D&D Beyond to end as well.

You keep saying we fought and making sweeping statements. Who is “we”? What is not a not a “despotic tyranny”? Most of the good aligned political entities in the default D&D settings are well connected to the people and the government serves the people pretty well. Handwaving and complaining...

I really don’t understand the whole discussion on “lampshading” in context of this thread. Tekumel has built in many institutions and situations that are “bad” (slavery, explicit destruction done to local races by humans when they arrived). It also is pretty diverse in terms of human society...

AL room was 100%. I did not see anyone without a mask at any table I played at. I played in two games in Boardrooms. Those had 12 to 20 people playing at the big table. Maybe 50%. At the Traveller game table in Linwood, once the reminder came masks were on the rest of the time. No one...

The rules in WI do not require it. The Marriott I was at in downtown SF last week also does not require it. The Con could require masks in events areas but there never was a promise that the hotel would be masks only. The CDC guidelines say they are not required. Almost the entire country has...

He played in Professor Barker’s games for many years and did count him as a close friend. Another person that joined the games also played in that play group.

I played briefly in a campaign that Victor Raymond ran after an earlier online GaryCon. The campaign was really not for me (was billed as an intro to the world but I was the only one who had not played for years and the play sessions were deeply lore based in content and table discussion) but he...

Hotel staff was not reminding people - was GaryCon volunteers. AL room was 100% compliant and no need for reminders. I would say in any of the open rooms other than AL (I did not go into the Pathfinder Society room) it was 80%+ and 100% after a reminder was given. Dealer room was 100%...

The book addresses that as well. The training is made tough because it is meant to dissuade people trying for an easy ride to voting. Plus, they are actually in the military. Johnny also picked the MI which is one of the physically toughest choices. He was a star athlete, he felt up to the...

I disagree. His father (who later joined up when there was an actual war going on and his wife had been killed so was at least being consistent) was arguing that voting was not worth it and he was wasting his time joining the military as it interrupted his father’s plans for him to go to...

Yes. Federal service, actually, with military service being the prime one, but did not have to be military service. Also made it clear in the book that the protections of freedom applied to everyone regardless of if they completed federal service and the service to vote was available to...

It was an attempt at a scathing satire that unfortunately used a book that is completely anti-Fascist (was really a democracy / libertarian society vs. communists story) as the foundation. What happened is that you had really good looking actors saying well thought out dialog from the book with...

This is just the person who was leading the project marketing it under the conditions they pitched it and ran the project under. I don’t see any issue with what they set out to do and will let the work itself speak for itself when I see it. I can nitpick the advertising and the words (my...

I registered for events last week. I am a forever DM so I play only at GaryCon. Have a very nice mix of 5e, ASSH, DCC, Traveller and Call of Cthulhu games set up. If you are a silver badge holder, I see the that there is space in some Empire of the Petal Throne games being run by players from...

Yes. There is a small cadre of Magic players in the fund universe in the NYC area. And fairly common for CFOs to play board games or D&D. Looking at the Board slate, you can see that.
