Since 5.2 doesn't have "Between Adventures" nor Bastions it means creators start from the beginning while developing 4th pillar materials, rather than have a crutch to lean on. As a player/DM I like this because it encourages more ideation. As a creator I like this because I have more space to...

These are new. The Free Rules of 2024 didn't include as many species yesterday

I would consult with a lawyer before assuming public domain. Others abusing a trope is not a sign of generification.

For the general public I use the year, but if I'm talking to other designers I will use the SRD designation for clarity especially as they say they will use 5.2.X for errata tracking

From the FAQ Can SRD 5.2 ever be revoked or changed? No. Once a document is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC-BY-4.0), it is permanently available under those terms. Wizards of the Coast cannot revoke or alter SRD 5.2 or remove it from Creative...

You aren't an investor either. You gain no equity, nor benefit from the company's success.

Are any games ever actually dead? 9-man Morris grew back. there are groups playing ulama again. An RPG that was once 'dead' may rise again, because humans have a habit of bringing things back from the dead.

In situations where there would be an obvious victory by the players, but it still might take significant time at the table I ask the players if they want to go through the many, many dice rolls or if they'd prefer to move along Usually they opt for the dice

This is a big part of what makes City of Arches different than those other cities. It's a framework for adventures that the table would own. Focusing on being inspirational and table-owned rather than canon or an encyclopedia I'm enjoying reading it because it shows a streamlined way to craft a...

My goblins are smog-punk, think even dirtier than steampunk. For the most part that shows up as Artifice flavored differently. Little packets of smoke-sand, tar-tree oils, springs and gears, etc.

If you are pondering a multi-license situation consult a lawyer, hire a great layout person. Be clear what is under which license (this is basically the guidance from CC when you mix their licenses -- which is rather common).

Yeah, the guidance about not rolling if there's no chance of failure/success means walking around in the open doesn't require a check

Do you know what 3pp for A5E are using the most?

This is one of my favorite things Morrus does -- pay those who work

Errata is published as part of this too https://www.dndbeyond.com/changelog#2024CoreRulesErrata

LaTia you could pin this on every forum. I can't imagine your internal conflicts between openness and planning, but you are threading that needle to the best of your ability and I appreciate it.

The countersuit was that the items were already in CC, including the trademark. That judgment came from a judge. It was in fact a case of a party attempting to withdraw from the Commons. A judge ruled in favor of that not being permitted. The case is there to research for anyone who wants to...

Let's say you started play in a realm where there are tornadoes or hailstorms. Your characters level up to 5th level. Do those weather conditions get more severe because the group is now Tier 2? What would that mean for the town or village where they are? Would your heroes help the commoners...
