We have a back-up game for times when the party is smaller due to scheduling conflicts.

I guess I'm in a very, very, very small minority who isn't interested in this. I'm glad its doing well and I hope its a lot of fun.

Watching what WotC has done with M:tG I think we'll see more products fairly soon in 1 DnD's life cycle. Probably something about every 6 weeks. And WotC has already shown they could prioritize purchase directly through them. The Dragonlance Digital + Physical bundle gets you access to the...

Sometimes the DM chooses to limit some things. I think that approach is okay and I think "its all D&D so you can choose any class or race" is also okay.

Exactly! It was the Best of D&D times & the Worst of D&D times.

But they have that and it appears they are phasing it out, I'm assuming, due to a cost benefit analysis and that is what I find so confusing. I spend time on Transformer boards and the word on there is that Hasbro is moving away from eOne because they couldn't achieve a MCU like universe for its...

Yeah, its possible after the next Transformers and the D&D movie eOne won't exist anymore and this is par for the course with Hasbro. I deal with them & WotC as both a game store owner and a toy fan and the WotC profits are hiding a lot of other divisions within the company's sins.

My main concern is that some of the M:tG POD products are close to a year into being unfulfilled. WotC had a distribution center for years but either shut it down or uses it to service big box stores. I appreciate that they are trying to aim for the sky but lets get a good movie before its...

And immediately those two men disagreed on rules and spent more time arguing than playing LOL

Respectfully, my reply was about DnD 4E.

Character gen could be done online.

The issue is how Hasbro/WotC is making that money. Magic has spent the last 2 years focusing on high ticket items to a much smaller audience and it is working but the game itself is hurting. There are quality control issues and even well produced sets like Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty and Dominaria...

The OSR doesn't exist without Dancey and the OGL and 5E was designed to capitalize upon it.

Can you comment on if the MotU RPG is still going forward?

I think both Arneson & Gygax benefitted from this and that's okay. Both ended up being dumped in the end anyway.

I actually prefer digital products but I'm in the minority within my group. If it were digital only I'd just stick with the material I own for 5E on DnD Beyond and be perfectly happy.

I and my group are fully invested in D&D Beyond and if the material isn't better we might stick with 5E. I don't think we will but I'm almost 50 and I'd rather play games I know really well and don't have as much time for mastering a new version of something.

Thanks for the breakdown :)

Hasbro knows nostalgia sells but they don't seem to realize that even a little effort to support that nostalgia goes a long way.

I ran a 13th Age Campaign for about 6 months and never used the Relationship dice. Worked fine without it.
