    D&D 5E (2024) RPG Evolution: The Fox in the Henhouse

    Well whatever WotC's corporate strategy is. I have a customer stratgey as well. It is called undermonetizing their "brand".

    Paizo Announces New Irrevocable Open RPG License To Replace the OGL

    Now the official statement from Ulisses on their homepage https://ulisses-spiele.de/offizielle-ankuendigung-ulisses-und-die-orc/ It so far only in German language but google translate always helps. I found that part highly interesting (translated by google): "Ulisses Spiele has also decided...

    Paizo Announces New Irrevocable Open RPG License To Replace the OGL

    Well it looks like that a number of games will might join the ORC. Ulisse Spiele just announced in their twitch stream that they are talking with their lawyers for a way to make the ORC compatible with German laws so that the can bring their lines into it. We are talking here about Torg, Fading...

    WotC Talks OGL... Again! Draft Coming Jan 20th With Feedback Survey; v1 De-Auth Still On

    What the difference between a OGL draft like the title says and a "OGL documentation" that WotC uses ?

    Paizo Announces New Irrevocable Open RPG License To Replace the OGL

    Paizo's statement to the OGL and ORC is also heard a foreign shores so to speak. Ulisses Spiele who does the German translation of Pathfinder 1 + 2 for example put a German translation of the announcement on their homepage. https://ulisses-spiele.de/paizo-statement-zur-ogl-und-die-orc/ Just...

    OGL: Kobold Press 'Raising Our Flag' For New Open RPG

    Theoretically is the word here given how WotC bungled for example German translations for several D&D editions. 3E lol bad. 4 lol bad. 5E ? They needed Gale Force 9 and Ulisses Spiele to finally have actually a line of German language books and not just maybe the Core Books. And now that WotC...

    I think that might be what I remembered. Thanks.

    OGL: Kobold Press 'Raising Our Flag' For New Open RPG

    Didn't KenzerCo actually win a legal fight with WotC back in the 3E days ? Some Kingdom of Kalamar Books had even the offical D&D logo on them because of this. Or do I misremember this. :unsure:

    Kickstarter's Director of Games on Why The Platform Attracts Lower OGL v1.1 Royalties

    I am kind of interested what the response of EU based platform like for example gameontabletop is here. EU laws are different then US ones and have different customer protections. The "We have money and so can sue anybody to the ground even before there is court date" game isn't as easy in the EU.

    Roll20 & DTRPG Are Teaming Up

    The second sentence is the problem The customer experience got far worse. Not to make Roll20 look bad. The could also add good stuff to drivethru. Or at least keep it as good as it is. But there is always the possibility that they could make it worse like Amazon did. Time will tell. I just...

    Roll20 & DTRPG Are Teaming Up

    @Jer What you say might well be the case. But then I remember that I used to buy comics at a company called Comixology and stuff can go bad quickly. So very much wait and see on that one.

    Roll20 & DTRPG Are Teaming Up

    I don't really about VTTs. They are more work then I want to invest as GM. So roll 20 doesn't interest me at all. The only thing that is important for me is that they don't do any stupid stuff with drivethru rpg. I just want a place where I can buy PDFs that update themselves with no nonsense...

    Pathfinder Roleplaying Game for Savage Worlds Adventure Edition: Advanced Player’s Guide, A Review

    Nice to see that there is a follow up to the first kickstarter. Pathfinder and Savage Worlds is as combination interesting enough that it even gets translated in other languages. For example Ulisses Spiele the German company that does the German translation for both game lines said why not and...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Batman, Torg Eternity, Exalted, and more

    Well if I go at the English version of the F-Shop I immediately find Orrorsh under the "New products" header. https://www.ulissesf-shop.com/new-products/ But to be fair I check the German version of the f-shop quite often given how big Ulisses in Germany and how many game lines they make or...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Batman, Torg Eternity, Exalted, and more

    Might very well be the case. Being from Germany I also back a lot of German language Ulisses CFs. I personally don't think of them being that bad in backer communication. They are about on par with Free League the only other European RPG company I back often. They mostly only give you updates...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Batman, Torg Eternity, Exalted, and more

    Ah Torg. Seven boxes already on my shelves and now on the way to a eight one. What a preposterous crazy ass ride of crowdfundings these where so far....:D That those Torg crowdfundings still are that successful is a testament to how hardcore the Torg fans are.

    Steamforged Games Apologizes & Reprints Dark Souls Books

    Well 5E like with d20 glut back then is so popular that you can just slap that 5E sign on almost anything and still make money. Save on writing and playtest cost because the licence was expensive. It has 5E on the cover and will sell. If Dark Souls wouldn't be such a beloved IP with a hardcore...

    Steamforged Games Apologizes & Reprints Dark Souls Books

    So instead of a game that actually works like and respects the source game they made a D&D game with Dark Souls trappings. And that was so badly done that they need to print a replacement immediately ? Anyone else getting d20 shovelware flashbacks......:ROFLMAO: I will stay away from...

    D&D 5E (2014) Doctors & Daleks - Cubicle 7 Brings Doctor Who to D&D 5E

    I hope for that as well. Not to get a retro clone of the game. But given me a game with 4E's structure an chassis but with powers that aren't miniature depended but instead use abstract or zone positioning. I would throw money at that so hard.... I miss the 4E Fighter so much. Looking back...

    D&D 5E (2014) Doctors & Daleks - Cubicle 7 Brings Doctor Who to D&D 5E

    Yep. Accessibility at least at the player side is among 5E's greatest strengths. To gather really large numbers you need a game that casual players can deal with. From a rules mechanics perspective 5E is unimpressive and has some strange quirks that you can easily solve in a potential 6E. 3E...
