    D&D 5E (2014) Foundry Gets Official D&D Support

    Doesn't the 'favorites' on the left side do that for you? Just drag and drop.

    On Kickstarter There Are More Successful Projects But Creators Earning 30% Less

    I mostly backed a few projects from CMON on backerkit, that were not really crowdfunding, but more preorders. That was very straightforward. But looking at Mementomori on Backerkit makes me understand why some say it's less userfriendly then KS. But I have to wonder how much is the fault of the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Foundry Gets Official D&D Support

    I'm not doing that structurally yet, but I intend to. I even intend to store all the different releases of Foundry VTT on my NAS and eventually backup to MDISC (longterm strorage on blue ray) with a ton of parity files. The same for all the modules I've bought and probably for a LOT of free...

    D&D 5E (2014) Foundry Gets Official D&D Support

    You could rewatch it here: Still available for a while. My question was more related to how long they would be able to create official products and if WotC could stop the license deal if they decided their VTT would be the only D&D platform. What you're asking is something else. Foundry VTT...

    D&D 5E (2014) Foundry Gets Official D&D Support

    It needs a bit of getting used to, playing around with it helps a lot watching a ton of the right videos helps a lot too. What I've done is the week before the session is to setup meetings with everyone one-on-one and go through how things work. You can completely go their speed, answer their...

    D&D 5E (2014) Foundry Gets Official D&D Support

    I'm extremely happy with official D&D support for Foundry VTT! Especially when the folks running Foundry VTT are actually doing the official supplements instead of WotC. I bought their two 5E modules and those are very impressive, I also bought a couple of PF2E modules, including Kingmaker...

    On Kickstarter There Are More Successful Projects But Creators Earning 30% Less

    Many of those projects wouldn't stand a chance in hell if you were to publish through the traditional method. These numbers mean very little, just that consumers spend less on TTRPGs then in the previous 4 years, what a surprise... They only indicate revenue, not profit, the really important...

    AI is stealing writers’ words and jobs…

    But saying that you care about other people doesn't make it so. If people actually cared as much about other people as they say or act like, they wouldn't be here posting as much as they are, they wouldn't be 'wasting' their time with RPGs. They would dedicated their live helping people in...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    Author is not some sort of label of quality, it is a writer of a book, article, or document. Regardless of quality. But let me ask you something uncomfortable: IF an author can be replaced by a LLM, what does that say about that author? And with IF I don't mean some higher up deciding that...

    AI is stealing writers’ words and jobs…

    I absolutely support this tech. That there are crappy people out there that screw people over is not a new thing introduced by this tech. Are some people going to lose their job over this tech? Absolutely! That matters greatly to those individuals that lose their jobs, as it does every...

    D&D 5E (2014) Sell me on 5th…

    I'm not going to sell you on 5E, looking at your preferences, I think you would be less happy with the amount of options IF you stick to the official, physical books (compared to 3E/3.5E). Back in the day of 3(.5)E we had official WotC D&D stuff, we had D20 stuff, we had OGL stuff and we had fan...

    D&D General Would you buy an AI-generated Castle Greyhawk "by" Gary Gygax?" Should you?

    I'm pretty sure you could get a LLM to produce better adventures the 90% of the garbage that's on DTRPG. But what people seem to forget is that it also depends heavily on the one providing the prompts. Just like with googling, the quality of the search results depends heavily on the google-fu...

    D&D 5E (2014) 5E economics -The Peasants are revolting!

    I don't know if you've read it, but Expeditious Retreat Press published 20 years ago "A Magical Medieval Society" (Western Europe): https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/2018/a-magical-medieval-society-western-europe There's even a third edition of it with more material in it...

    Spoilers Rebel Moon-my spoiler review

    Until you realize that the Evil(tm) Han Solo is actually a pretty good bounty hunter (helper?) and finds these kinds of people for a living. He just gave her a list where he expected to just join up with such a hopeless cause, he was right. Except for the unknown farmer that killed him... He...

    D&D General Does D&D (and RPGs in general) Need Edition Resets?

    Please don't take this the wrong way, but in how far are you now repeating WotCs marketing department? In other words is this what we know or what they say? I tend to look at actions rather then words, unless I know I can depend on someones Word. In the case of big companies, you can't really...

    D&D General Does D&D (and RPGs in general) Need Edition Resets?

    I was actually wondering something in a similar vain, when does an RPG need a new edition and when is it a mechanism to sell you the same thing over and over again. A bit of context: I've been playing RPGs since ~1987, started with the Dutch version of The Dark Eye (Oog des Meesters), moved to...

    Spoilers Rebel Moon-my spoiler review

    A lot of folks are missing all the stuff that was 'inspired' by 40k (as in Warhammer 40,000), which in turn had 'borrowed' a lot from other sources, just like most of the IPs this movie was 'inspired' by... Which I kinda find ironic. ;) Is it a great movie? No! But it was interesting, like the...

    Paranoia: Happiness is Mandatory Video Game Released on Steam

    Cyanide/Nacon has often very cool IPs, but very sucky implementations. If their actions are no deterrent, you should just look at their old catalogue and see how well those were received and how well they were supported long term...

    Reaper Minis debuts its own OGL-based RPG system: Dungeon Delvers

    @teitan If it's a superior material depends on your perspective. I agree the first bones were not great. They don't use SIOcast on the large models due to the limitations of the SIOcast machine and process (mold material vs. pressure). My main issue is that they are not very clear on the...
