I remember Mongoose mostly from their D20 shuffle ware (sorry Matt!) and their licenses. Their Slaine, their Judge Dredd, Babylon 5, Noble Armada (Fading Suns spaceship miniature game), etc. I'm not a Traveller fan, but got a bunch of the Humble Bundle and Bundle of Holding pdf collections...

shrugs I don't care about the drama the writers/creators have/made, I'm more interested in the product. Dungeon World never attracted me. But a nice DW2e might... I've started to become interested in games like Blades in the Dark and Spire/Heart, part of it is the interesting setting/campaign...

That's not true either... Roll20, Fantasy Grounds, Foundry all sell official 5e D&D products (some more then others) and are already full VTTs. OneBookshelf sells 5e D&D compatible products for that in PDF and in VTT form. Heck, OneBookshelf also sells D&D products, from old editions and for 5e...

OneBookShelf didn't need Hasbro or even WotC money to become successful, I would say that they became successful despite WotC/Hasbro. And when WotC/Hasbro backtracked on their (old edition) pdf policy, they still went for the industry leaders instead of doing their own thing... And OneBookShelf...

That's not completely true either. Shadowdark had a $250 pledge which contained a lot more then just the 'game'. And Coyote & Crow had a $400 pledge with art prints (and a $160 pledge with the books + a Roll20 version). Both did 13k and 16k backers respectively, Cosmere is doing almost 40k...

I do like most of the art shown here...

I don't have a problem saying your naughty word smells, when it does. And funny that you just happen to mention Morrus => EN Publishing. A5E existed well before the OGL shenanigans began. Their latest (D&D) 5e product is from the first of July this year (what I could find via DTRPG)... I'm also pretty...

No they won't get slaughtered because they have red skin and big noses, you'll need to slaughter them because they follow the wrong god... ;)

Not just for sub money, but I'm pretty sure that they also take a piece of the cake of the product being sold on DDB. Looking at Industry standards, 30% sounds like the industry 'standard'... And publishers might have to pay for their product conversion to DDB... WotC/Hasbro is just utilizing...

Weird, companies (and the people running them) actually prefer bigger profits, it's not just WotC/Hasbro... And that's also why the whole 'OGL revolution' stunk to high heaven. It was just companies (and the people running them) riding public opinion to make a quick profit. Them getting back to...

To be fair, we've been getting D&D boxed sets for years at this point... Beadle and Grimms 'Legendary' editions cost from €150 to almost €500... And I have to admit, they do look premium...

He didn't 'make' $40 million, that's what he 'sold'. Minus KS costs, credit card transaction costs, actual products that were sold, people paid, offices run, etc. Which is a LOT when you talk about almost 189k backers, they shipped 1,605,465 lbs worth of packaged product... It wasn't just...

shrugs That's what they are willing to give someone, it's up to someone else to say yes or no. What I mean is that if you have a job for longer then next Christmas, it might be better then the job till Christmas. Depending on the situation, you might not even have a Starbucks shift supervisor...

I don't see it as grievances, that's Dan Dillon territory... ;) But when some of us see the unbased positivity of fanboyism rearing it's ugly head, that Lemmings (Oh no! Splat!) behavior isn't healthy and many just point out the mess WotC made the past 20 years. It's of course not all a mess...

But that might have a longer term advantage... The issue with the mentioned tech companies is a different one from WotC/Hasbro. Most of those tech companies ballooned with employee numbers during the pandemic. That's mostly because there were unnatural demands on that tech industry during the...

Of course, just as people over glorify things when the reality is different. On the other hand: Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. We've been around long enough that we're way, way beyond the 'twice' point with WotC/Hasbro... For example the stocks of Hasbro were at an all...

Is that maybe because WotC/Hasbro have been doing scummy things for 20+ years? They make products I sometimes like, but that's it. WotC isn't our friend, it's not the friend of the people that work there. To many people act like blind WotC fanboys/girls and not looking at the trackrecord, not...

Oh yeah, let's compare firing someone (a perfectly legal action) with raping someone (a horrible crime)... That's healthy! He's not a victim, he's a worker that's no longer needed and was let go. Was it done at a horrible time at a horrible scale? Absolutely! If you walk into the lions den...

On the other hand, how long has WotC/Hasbro been doing nasty firings, often around the holidays? 20 years? Dan Dillon knew what he was getting into when he signed up with WotC/Hasbro in 2019 or he didn't do his due diligence, but every fanboy wants to work for WotC and work on D&D... Getting...

That you get hired or that you won't get fired anytime soon after you're hired? Sidenote: Many, many comments made by people on Twitter aren't the most tactical, they are often emotional and posting something stupid on Twitter has a really low threshold...
