    D&D General [rant]The conservatism of D&D fans is exhausting.

    It's really not; there have been far, far worse classes in the history of D&D. Just look at AD&D 2E's DMGR8 Sages & Specialists.

    What is/are your most recent TTRPG purchase(s)?

    I just picked up Far Distant Future's latest publication (released earlier today), Awesome Ancestries: Two-to-One, Vol. 4 - Athamaru (affiliate link) for PF1, and I'm rather intrigued by what's going on here. Now, as the product's title makes clear, this is a back-conversion, taking PF2's...

    4E got started even earlier than that. Page 8 of Wizards Presents: Races and Classes (affiliate link) says: Despite ending on a joke, the next entry notes that the first instances of "design workshop" began in May of 2005.

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    No worries, I wasn't expecting an immediate answer. Also, happy belated birthday! :) I'm just happy the answer isn't a hard "no." I'll hang onto hope for now!

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I just finished reading a beat up first printing of Poul Anderson's 1961 novel Three Hearts and Three Lions. I purchased this several years ago, as part of an effort to read more of D&D's famous Appendix N. What ended up happening is that I instead started reading more nonfiction about D&D in...

    I've read Jeffro's book. At his best, he has an infectious enthusiasm and some very engaging insights, but when he's wrong he's very, very wrong, and rather off-putting in the process.

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    So I've been told that the Switch release of Metal Gear Solid: Master Collection has some performance/frame rate issues. But I've also seen some things to suggest that this either got a patch or wasn't as bad as has been said (i.e. that the game can still be enjoyed at 30 FPS). Anyone have any...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    No, no judgment came from a judge. The "countersuit" was a request for a declaratory judgment, and nothing on that page says they got it, since as I told you before the court declared that they (the court) lacked subject matter jurisdiction. No judgment was made. No, no ruling was made. Go read...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    That's in no way relevant, as the plaintiff alleged trademark infringement, unfair competition, and civil conspiracy. The hypothetical is an issue of copyright infringement due to publishing under content that was alleged to have been withdrawn. Moreover, the court declared (for most of those...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    No, it doesn't. Hence why that term isn't used. Which says nothing about the publisher withdrawing it at a later date. That's for a judge to decide, is the point. The "reality of the language" is what a judge says it is. More importantly, until such a judicial declaration is made, you're not...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    Again, that doesn't speak to "withdraw" as a concept.

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    What happened to you being done with this? Clearly. Because if WotC makes a statement about "withdrawing" the 5.1 SRD from the CC as of X date (i.e. they'll file suit against anyone who publishes under it after that date), and some publisher does then publish after that date, and WotC follows...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    Oh, the irony. Thanks for such substantive and well thought-out contributions. :P

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    Right, because they publish so much 5.1 SRD material via the CC. :rolleyes:

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    This nonsense again? Yeah, no. It's funny how people seem to think that there's some magic way the "biggest software companies" can just make something they don't like end, despite not having standing to participate in a case as per what was outlined.

    I saw the part that said: But with Chris Cao also stepping away, and Mike Mearls having left not too long ago, it really feels like there's something larger going on. Maybe it's all just a coincidence, or maybe the explanation is entirely benign, but I can't help but be suspicious.
