The Foundry Virtual Tabletop folks are not pleased with 1.2. Is that the target for Wizard's monetization drive? I would have thought it was the many million Dollar Kickstarters who did not pay royalties to Wizards. But royalties have been removed from OGL 1.2 now. Honestly, I thought we would...

Is this coincidence that the most anticipated game of 2022 gets a nice review in 2023 when the hobby is looking for Not-D&D options? I will give this a go still. Free League is popular.

How many petitions do we need to nudge Hasbro? But this is Ryan Dancey, the original OGL creator. So yes sir, sign up folks.

Great news to hear. Bad news for me since I sold my Level Up 5e some days back when the OGL 1.1 news broke. Good news is that I can purchase a new Level Up 5e core set that is de-OGL-ified without the taint of Hasbro. EN Publishing could become the Paizo for 5e to Wizard of the Coasts 6e come 2024.

I have over ten years of campaign material, and that is just official books from Wizards of the Coast. Then I have many third party publisher books, including many from Kobold Press. So I can keep playing 5th Edition for ten or twenty more years without purchasing anything new. I am not the...

Are memes allowed, or this is just for serious discussions? Being a player, I have less skin in the game. The stages of denialism when confronted by the dreadful OGL 1.1 that Hasbro is still silent about.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enworld/level-up-a5e-gate-pass-gazette-annual-2022 The Kickstarter is running for 5e compatible products right now. I have not posted the Level Up 5e books my buyer paid for yesterday, but it would be rude to cancel. If EN Publishing survives OGL 1.1, I think...

Good news for EN Publishing and bad for me, a buyer already paid for my books yesterday. But a new Level Up 5e Kickstarter is running. So EN Publishing found a providable way out of the OGL disaster. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/enworld/level-up-a5e-gate-pass-gazette-annual-2022

In Ryan Dancey's thread, I hastily mentioned selling my Level Up 5e books and got a ready buyer who already paid up yesterday. Probably that premature sale was a bad idea. I see EN Publishing seems not to be affected by OGL 1.1 so the new Kickstarter that launched looks safe for 29 days. But in...

Reading all the debates about the legal standing of the OGL 1.0 versus the OGL 1.1 is just giving common folk mental trauma. Sorry for the all questions below, but the hobby is in chaos in 2023 now. For simplicity, what effect will the OGL 1.1 have on projects like EN Publishing's Level Up 5e...

Not everybody who enjoys Robert E. Howards Conan is over 40. Many fans, though still a niche set, read their parent's books and comics or even just that popular collected omnibus of a book. Modiphius did a great run in 5 years publishing about 22 sourcebooks all from just 900 pages of stories...

And here is the thing, I get a bit depressed, because I cannot afford this, a working adult, and many kids will struggle from lower income families. Toys are so expensive now though really good quality.

This is wonderful. I love LEGO and many players do too I guess. Sadly, a lot of the big new LEGO sets, especially specialty sets, are very expensive to purchase. Easily, about $100 at the low end and usually average about $200, with lots of specialty pieces. If such a set is purchased for a...

I think 5th Planescape is probably the first true One D&D book. Hence, my initial excitement for it, turned to disappointment when I read it would follow 5th Spelljammer format, considering I got 5th Spelljammer, and only two books are rules and lore.

So I was excited to hear Planescape makes a return, having never played the original, but totally loved the computer game form childhood. Excitement turned to disappointment that the format will be be that three book set like 5th Spelljammer (mine arrived, and only the first two books are...

My group ran Rogue Trader for years, and we had secondary characters for the away team missions when those characters made sense. Each Player had a primary character for ship and another away, so a Navigator who may not do much on the surface, had another character. The Rogue Trader had a a...

Absolute joy! For those who missed out on Adventures in Middle-Earth, this is a welcome addition. And the fact this is a pre-order, not a Kickstarter, will avoid the unhealthy comparisons of D&D 5th Edition Kickstarter funding versus original system funding, especially for this same franchise.

Excuse my pedantry, I am proud to be an owner of the original Black Industries' Dark Heresy role playing game books, including the super rare black artificial leather edition. that was all black with just the Inquisitorial "I" embossed in golden outline, and the book also had gold leaf edges...
