I am glad I have a stack of old board games that I have not used and can fall back on for a long while if necessary, but this is terrible, terrible news for small publishers. It could take years for the repercussions of this to balance out again.

I thought it was a great product. I got the digital version. I introduced a Deck to my Spelljammer game, but the players never used it and I eventually phased it out, and ultimately used nothing from the Book. I would have integrated some side plots if they actually utilized it (the Donjon...

I bought 1e too. They're good, but the game was a little more complex than what we wanted. Mothership would probably tell the same kind of story just as well if not better. I won't be getting 2nd edition, but from the little I've seen it looks better.

The only way this could have succeeded long term was to to sell module packages with bundled 3D maps and minis. I guess the cost to produce such products and the time needed was way beyond their projected returns.

I ran a Powered by the Apocalypse Dungeon World mini-campaign (9 sessions) and I had a really hard time wrapping my head around the flow of the game. I didn't particularly enjoy it, and didn't have a desire to run it again.

Lost Mine of Phandelver qualifies as classic. If you can combine it with Stormspire, you have a whole campaign in the region.

I think eventually they will have a full campaign rolled out for purchase, but they need to iron this thing out first, establish price points and how they're going to do microtransactions. Fully painted 3D model monsters is too rich a resource to ignore.

I guess they might offer a bundle discount on the two digital products, but the print one will remain its own thing. I also imagine they want to move away from print books and transition to digital. If they can sell maps and models like they did plastic miniatures and plastic props and grids...

Down the road, post-beta, if you can buy an adventure module for $50 and it has all the 3D maps and assets built in, that would be incentive to switch to this VTT.

Does it say how big the install is? I don't have much space.

I tried to install this on PC but...nothing happened. I couldn't tell anything installed at all.

I find balancing fights to be interesting are so much harder when the PCs are demi-gods. Even by 10th level I am pretty much done with D&D. It becomes more "work" than I enjoy doing. At lower levels I can eyeball a battle on the fly and it will work out. Not so with 15th level PCs.

Yeah, that one. Hadn't heard anything in quite some time. It looked....interesting.

Has there been any update on the Wizards VTT in a while?

It's Flee Mortals. There's an option to set to SRD ogre, but it defaulted to Flee Mortals in the google search.

I took a closer look: it's pulling from the Flee Mortals sourcebook! That explains it. So yes, 3PP.

The hit points are low until Defiant Anger kicks in, then all your little low level guys are doing half damage from their mundane weapons.

I don't know how it is linked to the Roll20 page though. I thought that sourced official 5e material.

For what it's worth, that is an awesome awesome ogre stat block and very thematic. I just don't know where it's sourced from.

I just googled 5e ogre and the Roll20 link popped up and THAT was it
