    D&D 5E (2014) How much should it cost to use a permanent teleportation circle?

    The underlying problem with this question is that high level characters in 5E typically have so much gold that costs are irrelevant.

    D&D 5E (2014) Don't Throw 5e Away Because of Hasbro

    For that reason above, WoTC and D&D have nothing to worry about. Folks here are the exception. 98% of D&D players don't care about all of the various WoTC controversies, and will continue playing D&D no matter what. WoTC doesn't really even need to create a walled garden to maintain its market...

    D&D General "I'd like to run (or play in) an all ___________ campaign." (+)

    My current PF2 game is an all dwarf party, by coincidence. I asked everyone to create a character, and they swear that they didn't get together and plan it.

    How well do you predict non-OGL/CC games will do?

    The ultimate factor that will determine if a non D&D TTRPG will be successful is if people can find other people to play with. It may be a great game, but if your circle of friends isn't interested, or if you don't have a reliable way of recruiting non local folks online, the game will not...

    Ben Riggs: 'The Golden Age of TTRPGs is Dead'

    It's the end of a golden age for WoTC, not for TTRPGs. But you don't need a golden age to be successful/profitable. They will likely find ways to extract more dollars per capita from existing players Whether people will tolerate that in the long run remains to be seen.

    D&D 5E (2014) Predictions for D&D 2024?

    I predict that WoTC will lobby for a new law that gives personhood to AI. They will then forcefully remove all of their artist with assistance from the Pinkertons, and hire an AI to do the illustrations (that can now be legally regarded as a person), allowing them to technically keep their...

    Pathfinder 2E PF2 Remastered - Does attack of opportunity still exist, or was it replaced by reactive strike?

    During our last game a player wanted to take an attack of opportunity, but I couldn't find it referenced in the remastered rules. I know about reactive strike, but as far as I can tell, it is a fighter-only feature. So, if attack of opportunity still exists in the remastered rules, where is it...

    WotC [Updated!] Hasbro Laying Off 1,100 Employees

    I agree. People tend to focuse on the income statement, but really should be paying attention to the statement of cash flows.

    How Do You Coordinate Your Gaming Sessions?

    We coordinate through texting or email. The group is pretty good with responding (seconds to a couple of days). We have a set time and day of the week, and we just indicate whether we're available to play. There are 6 of us in total (1 GM, 5 players), and as long as 4 players are available...

    Disney to reboot X-Files (Disney owns an insane amount of Fantasy/Sci Fi IP)

    They extracted every last ounce of interest in the series with 11 seasons and a movie. There already was an attempt at a reboot a few years ago. I don't think it lasted more than 2 episodes.

    WotC WotC - why are we still shocked with layoffs?

    I worked for a venture capitalist firm for 3 years. Deeply buried in my spreadsheets, I was mostly insulated from the reality of the impact, but on one assignment I was told to meet the boss on-site. I watched as the HR rep handed out pink slips to many of the men on the shop floor. This was a...

    WotC WotC - why are we still shocked with layoffs?

    It may have been to the people who were laid off.... People are often laid off often due to the poor planning of the Execs who (rarely) have to face any material consequences for their decisions.

    WotC WotC - why are we still shocked with layoffs?

    Yea, I know why corps do it. But people who say "oh it's just what corps do. "Corps will be corps after all" sound like they are saying it's no big deal if you read between the lines.

    WotC WotC - why are we still shocked with layoffs?

    Strawman.... I didn't say that. I said shocked at people either defending WoTC or acting like it's no big deal.

    I'm not shocked by the layoffs. I'm shocked by the people either defending WoTC, or acting like it's no big deal.

    WotC WotC - why are we still shocked with layoffs?

    The Ethisphere award. It was Hasbro, not WoTC that purchased it. However, given that WoTC is their most profitable subsidiary, and considering WoTC's bad press over the past year or so, I'd say it was likely a move to benefit WoTC (essentially good will by association)
