    Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set Price Point Revealed

    People have a lot more patience and price flexibility for indie box sets than effin Hasbro which has an entirely different supply chain and overhead to you. (e.g. Mothership and the like)

    EU Vice-president says once a video game is sold, it is owned by the customer.

    Please replace "UE Vice-President" with "Vice-President of the European Parliament/EP" please. The European Union has no vice-president.

    Heroes of the Borderlands Starter Set Price Point Revealed

    I think it's going to do reasonably well if the adventure is not castastrophically bad. People buy more expensive board games than this to let rot on the shelf all the time. The brand is powerful and this might draw back some people who have been out of the loop for a while. But just like all...

    D&D 5E (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands trailer.

    Yikes To be fair it does look like they put in a lot of physical stuff in there, but as an enfranchised player that's probably going to be a hard pass. Compare to what DoSI sells for at my LGS ...

    D&D General Did 5e 2024 Not meet the economic goals set, and if not, why not?

    You would be normally correct that Bookscan could still serve as a proxy to compare comparable products, but I think DDB is special. I think DND Beyond is a lot more essential to how Casual gamers interact with the game rather than just an electronic storefront for books. It's fair to say that...

    What RPGs genres are lacking?

    I think SWAT/or R6-likes would be interesting. In the game Ready or Not, players lead a police tactical unit to respond to emergency situations. The players are given the 911 distress call, intelligence about the culprit(s) (giving information about what tactics or arms they might use and...

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    Yeah no I agree. Diamond definitely would know that not signing these forms is 100% in their favor. It's most definitely a scumbag (even if legal) move. Especially considering that a lot of their business partners are very small and don't have specialized legal teams for this. I don't think...

    Diamond Distributors Asks Bankruptcy Court For Ownership of Publishers' Consignment Inventory [UPDATED]

    I guess the legal theory is that this is some really unintuitive and backwards way to assure new investors or creditors to Diamond that this stock is not really theirs.

    LLMs as a GM

    You can actually GM for a party of ChatGPT players, its really fun. Kinda stops working after a few hours though.

    Optimization and optimizers...

    I am very sorry if it came across as disruptive, but I think the term optimization is exactly unclear, maybe I am not in the RPG scene long enough, but for me there are two different kind of optimizations. I play what is best for maximum utility. (e.g. picking the best class/race options...

    Optimization and optimizers...

    Optimized for me means Optimized within the confines of the entire game, not just a class. I.e. you play Bugbear Polearm Master Sentinel Opportunity Attack Fighter because it is broken because there is a 0% chance this happens naturally without browsing Reddit.

    Optimization and optimizers...

    If optimizing wasn't encouraged behavior by default the game shouldn't make optimizing good. Case in point: Swords & Wizardry Complete Revised Does having high dex matter? Yes. Does it matter all that much above a 14? Also no. Here's 5e Do higher ability scores matter? Yes. Do they ever...
