Pending OGL outcomes... Phandelver: I enjoyed Lost Mines immensely and would like to see what they will do with a bigger canvas from that strong base. Glory of Giants: I am curious where they are going to go with Giants since Storm Kings Thunder I am meh on the rest of the offerings.

Right, even if the D&D movie draws a huge portion of the player base, it will need to appeal to general audiences to make it a smash. The OGL debacle will be meaningless if D&D takes off in a movie series. Wizbro can write off the TTRPG at that point. How big is the design and development team...

Spell-less Ranger Good for OwlCat

Agenda doesn't mean lying, but everyone's perception is different. And this shift in policy/strategy cuts some beliefs in gaming cross-grain.

Is that all you have to offer, Morrus, facts and pragmatism? This salacious bit of news just reinforced my preconceived notion that Official 5E psionics are being repressed by someone very high up in the company! It is enough that I crumpled my tinfoil hat... Now I have to make a new one.

And yet none of that was influencing you to call them 'shills'. Again I disagree with supporting WotC for their actions and words, but we don't need to be dismissive. It costs nothing and if they add no new information or argument you can safely ignore them.

Sure. That's what Cyberdyne Systems wants you to think.

Guys can we not call people who disagree with us 'shills'? WotC produces D&D, a game which we all love or at least tolerate enough to comment endlessly about it. Some people do not care about the OGL (or do not consider it a deal breaker) and just want to have their game. Some people want some...

I am skipping a bunch of pages of discussion here... Apologies if I missed some of the debate over definitions of lying, cyberstalking, and gaslighting. I see we are conflating two separate issues there is broad dislikefor in the community. Problem the first, revoking a contract unilaterally...

Yay Paizo! I feel a goblin song about to burst from my lips. I am not a fan of Pathfinder rules wise but I will be grabbing a beginners box to show solidarity for keeping Open Gaming development alive.

I am happy to see KP and MCDM looking to a world without needing OGL 1.1. Even if their discussions lead to keeping OGL 1.0a, the conversation and brainstorming could lead down interesting paths. I will be watching with great interest and signed up for notification about Black Flag. Also, thank...

The trap is baited... I can not resist. Psionics are an internal supernatural power. Previous incarnations of psionics in D&D have been an add-on for liars or the exceptionally lucky (AD&D), a spell point system with wildly unbalanced elements (2E), a spell point system that was similar to...

I will wait until the 13th to decide when WotC releases to the public. IF it is close to what has been reported/leaked, I will not spend another dime on WotC/Hasbro products, including the movie. I will finish my DM duties to a couple on-going public campaigns at the local library and will pack...

Games take a while to produce. Any game developing now would be better focused on Next Gen systems, so Playstation 6 rather than 5. I wonder if the development timeline was looking poor for these 5 games. So far we only have the new Dark Alliance as an example of what WotC digital efforts are...

They are offering nothing new other than taking a cut of profits and a badge? This isn't a huge revenue bonus to Hasbro and just seems like it would piss off the biggest producers who expand D&D's audience. Short sighted and foolish.

Ahhh the sky is falling DOOM! Doom, I say! D&D will be a bigger presence in toy stores, apparel, and breakfast cereals. There is gold in them thar hills or at least electrum. D&D will likely start to have diversification of product offerings in DDB/Digital. DMs are the bulk of purchasers so we...

Conan as an IP still has legs. FunCom has leased the digital rights for a long time. From the Age of Conan MMO to Conan Exiles (which just got an update yesterday), to the bizarre but fun retro Conan Chop Chop. The R.E. Howard stories are still in print. There is a new show coming out for...

Good topic. I have used all of these in different settings over the years. Apotheosis is fun. Especially with long-lived and immortal races, having people who knew a god before their ascension would be fascinating. Imagine an ancient elven seer who talks about Grognar, hero-god of competition...

To start, I love Spelljammer. I love the 2E box Set. I even loved the 3E Spider Moon write-up in Dragon. There is a lot of good in the 5E set, but there are some negatives. SJ5E has fewer pages than comparable products. Spelljammer has 192. Von Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, Ravnica, and Theros...

Well, the WiSC is not a savage. You need something to be an appetizer before the main dish. Prior to this, the WiSC used the salad course to attract the rabbit. Economy of motion.
