There is going to have to be a massive incentive to use this OGL over the previous one. Not giving a legal opinion here, even though IAL, the previous OGL cannot be revoked or changed and is safe. The language in their release about the intent of "the" OGL was amusing. Sorry folks that cat is...

I still run some 5e, but the thing that would get me to jump to 1D&D would be a massive adventure campaign going from level 1 to 20. I am fully aware I am very much on the minority on this one ;)

When I play, which is a fairly rare occurrence, I try to be an exemplary PC. I usually ask my GM what kind of PC would s/he find helpful for story hooks, tension, needed roles, etc. Much like DMing, I try to play in a way that adds to everyone's fun, and I try to invest in my PC and make it a...

All of my kids are young adults - 4 ranging in age from 23 to 17. We play games pretty much every night like Codenames, Exploding Kittens, Chronicles of Crime, Clank, etc. Between Christmas and the New Year we host a mini convention named for an old gaming buddy who lives out on the East Coast...

I agree it looks good. I might suggest changing "and any character that survives the adventure advances to 1st level." to if any character survives the adventure they can advance to first level. ;)

John Rogers used to post some very fun storyhours on this very site!

I push the action forward. I need to be more patient with player character to player character interactions.

Sure. It's a long term strategy to get more DMs going in the game. Like I said upthread, it is my impression there is a 5e DM shortage. Hasbro probably has the numbers, or at least a much better idea than I do. More DMs, means more games and players, and further spread of D&D. Long term that is...

I was thinking about the DMG and the alleged DM shortage for 5e. "Alleged" not because I doubt it, but because I don't know. What if we just get rid of the Dungeon Masters Guide? When we tell folks you need to read this book (DMG) in its entirety to run the game that seems like a barrier we can...

I would want to try it for my online group. I would have to be sold to use it long term. I'm not adverse to significant prep time, but the payoff has to be there. I am one of those guys that uses all the scenery and miniatures for my in-person game - Dwarven Forge, Hirst Arts, 3D Prints, etc. I...

As a guy who ran WFRP for years with no official support I reckon I'm probably a folk guy. However, I don't mind running official games for cons and Adventure League. However, I don't worry too much about Hasbro "destroying" the game. IMO gatekeepers are more dangerous to the hobby than a few...

I run D&D weekly on a tabletop. It's my preference because I love miniatures, terrain, and getting energy back from a live game. I can handle a big group at the table. I run other RPGs (currently DCC) remotely. I use it because I love connecting with my brother on the other side of the country...

Instant buys for me are high level 15+ adventures. I don't need adventures at levels 1-10 - those are easy to come up with and there are tons available.

Just finished running Diplomacy in my World History classes. ;)

Shockingly, I have not purchased any of the books this year. I kept up for the most part up until recently. I will be skipping DL too. I think part of this is I am waiting for D&D1 to drop officially. I might pick up an adventure in the meantime.

By the OP's definition of "die" - yes, I could see it happening. People will continue to play of course. I was running WFRP for a long time after GW/Flame stopped supporting it and it was picked up by Hogshead and them dropped again until 2e came out. Lots of people are playing "dead" games...

A friend of mine purchased a few of the Joytoy 40K figures and they are impressive. We are hoping to play a 1/18 scale Kill Team game in the near future!

We were in full delve mode today. The party is working through the Goodman Games Original Adventures Reincarnated The Temple of Elemental Evil. They did a nice job for the most part of playing some factions off against each other in the first level below the Temple. However, word is about to...

I learned at least this much from the thread - Pirates of Darkwater is an animated series from 91-92 and a lot of people liked it. I think there are legitimate reasons for limiting races in campaign worlds, but I am more of a kitchen sink kind of guy.

I was curious and went back and checked out the creator's channel on Youtube and I got to give him credit - he has amassed an impressive number of video views. This video in particular is by far his most popular original content. He has a couple of more popular videos, but those are Critical...
