This is not it never getting printed, which is the only alternative to digital-only you were willing to accept in your hypothetical. You may consider such a wait an unacceptable alternative to digital-only, but I do not, hence my objection to your insistence on such a dichotomy. I don’t know...

Some of his original characters are partly inspired by people he knows in real life. In this way, he is just like every author ever.

I will reiterate that I don’t believe that dichotomy exists beyond your imagination, but since you insist on me answering that specific hypothetical, yeah, I’d rather it not get released. As for other forms of media, I used to subscribe to streaming services. Don’t any more, because I got tired...

Varric writes original erotica, not fan fiction.

It doesn’t really make a difference. If it does or doesn’t contain player options, I still don’t like that it’s digital only, and I still don’t think that not printing whatever content is going to be in it is the only economically feasible alternative to it being digital only.

For dwarves, maybe something that plays on their new limited-time Tremorsense? An action that lets them detect hidden creatures within a limited radius and maybe gain advantage on an attack? For gnomes, I feel like turning briefly invisible would be the obvious choice. Alternatively, maybe a...

Yeah, I think you and I are very much of one mind on the d20 book.

And you know this how?

Oh, boy… You’re not going to like this, but a lot of critical rules are in the glossary. It’s not just a reference section, it’s where the specifics of the rules being referenced actually “live.” Most of the new PHB is written like a learn to play guide, with specific rules terms pointing...

There was a lot to love about that book. Unfortunately, the system was… well, it was just 3.5 with a coat of Lovecraftian paint, unfortunately. The adventures, the lore, and the GMing advice were excellent. The rules were disappointing.

Wait, so is this also digital only? I can’t even right now…

We’ve had small digital-only releases before. We do not know that these are the same thing, and given this new “digital DLC” branding, I don’t think it’s safe to assume they’re going to be.

Yeah, all of these subclasses sound sick as hell, and mythos monsters for D&D are always useful to have!

The notion that they’ll just contain short adventures and will be free is also unprovable supposition. My actual point that their contents being digital only is bad, and that we can’t assume the only alternative to a digital only release is no release at all, holds true regardless of what the...

It’s also highly speculative to assume they’ll be free and contain short adventures. The fact of the matter is, we don’t know their contents or pricing. We just know that they’re digital only, which I strongly dislike for the reasons we’ve been discussing. And I think people who say “well if it...

I’m reminded of this old gem: d20 was probably a bad system for Call of Cthulhu, but the introductory adventures that came in this book were excellent, and playing through them remains among my fondest gaming memories. This product does seem like kind of the inverse, though.

Nowhere does it say these “DLCs” will be free. Indeed, I will be shocked if they are.

Yes, and that’s just part of the creative process. I am comfortable with cut content actually being cut instead of being repackaged and sold digitally. Unless you have some inside information the rest of us don’t, this is pure speculation. All that has been publicly said is that they are...
