I think you are being intentionally obtuse and argumentative. Do you happen to work for Hasbro?

Hasbro gave a very small team the task of a do or die edition of 5E. Because they weren't very important they were able to look at DnD's history, the OSR (which makes a LOT of money), and then playtest it publicly. Once it hit really big Hasbro took notice. It hit big because the people who made...

I hadn't realized 4E's development had been started that soon. I wonder how much of it intersected with Book of 9 Swords & Star Wars Saga Edition

That is a really good question. I don't think Hasbro cared at that point. They bought WotC for the Pokémon TCG and the fact that Magic came with it was icing on the cake. It also let them find a home for Avalon Hill. Adkinson was still in charge when the decision to develop 3.5 was made. 4E...

I'm not sure I give credit to Hasbro for 3.5 though. Monte Cook has said that as soon as 3E was out the door they started working on it. Just my 2 cents.

There was a fight within the board late last year or early this year where an "activist group" tried to force WotC to spin off from Hasbro but it died. I love DnD but if we could raise the billions needed to buy WotC we'd be better paying off providing human rights to people who need it. My...

Hasbro bought WotC in 1999. DnD 3E & the OGL launched in 2000. I agree though, this is just another round of Hasbro/WotC Layoffs and it just feels worse because of everything Hasbro has been doing this past year with WotC. However, as someone who runs 2 comic & game stores and is an action...

The Laundry 2nd Edition RPG from Cubicle 7 https://cubicle7games.com/blog/the-laundry-needs-you

I run 2 comic & game stores in Kentucky. One of the things I've noticed from publisher, manufacturers, and even other retailers is that quite a few of them didn't realize the 2020 & 2021 spikes were due to extra time people had and the extra money people had. It was a wonderful aberration but it...

Didn't they change the die type right before publication to d6? Are thy going to keep the TN 7s? LOL Shadowrun is its own monster.

Thanks for the update. I always look forward to it. Props to you for working toward an employee owned company.

Switching "chaos" for "madness" or "insanity" is an interesting choice as "Chaos" is a big part of DnD and I think for some DMs it's not the best word. As someone who is mentally ill I think having a mad or insane antagonist can suggest they can be helped. However, if it the words are hurting...

Sadly, I don't think Hasbro will allow them to push anything back. Didn't Crawford already talk about their printing window?

Kromm and David Culver, IMO, are part of the problem. GURPS has had the same vision for close to 30 years and sometimes that is a bad thing. We won't ever know if it could be more than that as long as Steve is alive & Kromm is in charge of the line. Steve's focus on TFT shows us that yes he...

Dragonbane or Drachar och Demoner from Free League https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1192053011/drakar-och-demoner-dragonbane Shadowdark RPG from The Arcane Tower https://www.thearcanelibrary.com/pages/shadowdark

Thanks for tackling the many moving parts of the projects within this setting. I completely understand making campaigns for these older settings but their charm, IMO, was a published setting with smaller adventures. However, it's really hard to lean into nostalgia and make things accessible. I...

I think people should realize we need a full version of One D&D as a set of rules before we can get an SRD.

With Hasbro's current state I'm uncertain what WotC will be allowed to do, but I'd have to think that the passive revenue from DnD Classics and the DM's Guild are enough to let those continue. I'm sure many people make good money off or 5E stuff, but in my experience as a very, very small...

I think this KS's success will be more about a statement of Free League than of Walking Dead.

What boggles me is that I'm fairly certain the M:tG team was already using sensitivity consultants and I'd have thought the DnD team would too.
