    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I truly can't imagine it. Absolutely ludicrous.

    D&D General Time to divide loot, treasure, items….

    Typically, the group discusses any items that are going to be immediately equipped, or need to parceled out like healing potions, and it's never been unnecessarily protracted. Art objects/loot as treasure, or anything else that doesn't have a purpose at the moment, gets written down by one...

    Yep, thanks for that catch, fixed.

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I think the 'leak' there is limited to the number of subscriptions, not the proposed cost/constraints. Nope

    Player Engagement Outside of Session Time

    It's a bit funny to me that this specific one was mentioned, as when a group of my friends last attempted to play this, the second edition I believe, it was abandoned when all but two of us gave up out of exhaustion.

    Mapping software

    This is what I've used and will second. Excellent at generating a basis that you can then tweak as inspired, and has a whole host of downstream attributes like biomes and nation boundaries that populate based on what "makes sense" for that world and the variables you set. Definitely a learning...

    Week 2: DEATH 8. The Forgotten Battlefield - Defensive fortifications line either side of this large cavern. What was once an opening to the west has been intentionally destroyed. 9. Combatants' Cache - A small stockpile of supplies left behind, meant to bolster the frontlines. Several small...

    Player Engagement Outside of Session Time

    I like knowing the rules before showing up, I like building characters that fit in the world, and I like the confidence that comes from knowing what someone who exists in this universe would know, but even so, I know my approach is generally both unnecessary and overkill. :p I would love to...

    Player Engagement Outside of Session Time

    For a one-shot I played on Saturday of Cyberpunk Red*, I read the entire rulebook, with an especial focus on any world-building and history sections. I've never met another player who does that sort of thing unprompted. The most I've seen is mechanically minded folk doing the research to make an...

    The WotC OGL Release on DDB today was edited in real time!

    The obviously correct answer is: synthetic 20.

    The WotC OGL Release on DDB today was edited in real time!

    Probably a good 50% of my posts here go through this.

    Critical Role Issues Statement

    This is when I'd look for them to actually issue any "statement" of import that they would on this topic.

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    You know, this reminds me just how long it has been since I've heard about any sort of NFT, and that's honestly a really nice realization.

    D&D 5E (2014) How will the recent OGL developments affect your D&D spending?

    This actually sums up my position better, I wasn't thinking about how I'd intentionally be looking at ORC stuff.

    D&D General #Dungeon23

    I think I'm only going to post here on the weekends, given that my room writeups are pretty short, in part inspired by system neutrality, but I've actually been keeping up this week!

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    No, nothing so absolute. I started on the side of this was a bad move from WotC/Hasbro, and have only moved further in that direction thanks to well thought out and argued posts here about the history/intention/value of the OGL. However, when someone is both advocating for that side, and mixing...

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    People who want to do business with them, based on written assurances.

    WotC Walks Back Some OGL Changes, But Not All

    Well, let's wait to see what the actual text of the new OGL says, but there are some good words in there.

    D&D 5E (2014) How will the recent OGL developments affect your D&D spending?

    I have only bought one official product since the core 3 when I started running games, and even that most recent purchase was second hand. So, likely no change.
