    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I'm a high school teacher who runs a 30+ member D&D Club. I know we'll be having a long discussion about this topic at our next meeting. If young people start to put WOTC in the same category as Facebook, they're done. Nearly all of my kids get their news from TikTok and with a few good vids...

    D&D General I know it's not Christmas yet, but this D&D advent calendar...

    Well, I didn't pay for it either. I thought about it for a few hours after ordering and had a feeling it was phony, so I quickly disputed the charge and was reimbursed, since the contact info from the site was awfully dubious. The credit card company didn't even try and contact the seller. Lo...

    D&D General I know it's not Christmas yet, but this D&D advent calendar...

    This is a total scam. I ordered one of these last year. You get none of what's shown in the picture. It's literally second-hand toys and minis directly from someone's bin in an old fishing tackle box onto where they've glued a print of a D&D book. Do not order one of these.

    D&D 5E (2014) Do you have a 5e YouTube channel? Please share the link

    I'm going to assume you know about Matt Colville. Other YouTube channels I enjoy are Jorphan, Sly Flourish, The Alexandrian, Taking20, Dicebreakers and Alphastream. I could also recommend a bevy of podcasts and blogs as well, but that might not be your thing, since you only referenced YouTube...

    I’m crushing your head 😂

    First two episodes were pretty good. Same odd zaniness and dead pan humor. Totally worth checking out.

    D&D 5E (2014) Hasbro Acquires D&D Beyond For $146M

    Sounds like Todd Kenreck has come full-circle.

    HeroQuest! I Finally My Mythic Set!

    Woot! Yeah, thanks, I saw this the other day as well. Looks like it's just the base set though, which is fine for now. Hopefully they'll also offer the expansions. It took me all of five seconds to pull the trigger on this one.

    HeroQuest! I Finally My Mythic Set!

    Damn, I hope the Boardgame Geek folks are right. If they don't, I'll have to scrape one off Ebay for likely twice the price.

    HeroQuest! I Finally My Mythic Set!

    I don't think I've seen a definite "no" or "yes" either way. I'm just accustomed with having the ability to pre-order something if you miss the crowdfunding campaign like on Kickstarter. I have no experience with Hasbro Pulse. If they've brought other past projects to market after the fact...

    HeroQuest! I Finally My Mythic Set!

    I'm so jealous I missed this one. Why, oh why can't they just make this available post-crowdfunding?

    D&D General Adam Bradford, Lauren Urban, Todd Kenrick Leave D&D Beyond

    Man, I hope you're right because I felt gut-punched earlier today. DDB has completely re-configured how I play the game and when three key people all bail at the same time, it feels strange and many get cagey and worried for the future of the platform. While all the beavers might be busy...

    D&D General Adam Bradford, Lauren Urban, Todd Kenrick Leave D&D Beyond

    I find the whole thing just plain odd. I watched the dev update today completely slack jawed. They had montage clips for Lauren and Todd meaning it's been in the works for a bit, I'd assume. I don't think it's WoTC poaching, but I do think they'll all end up at the same place. Perhaps Fandom...

    D&D 5E (2014) Problems with Tales from the Yawning Portal

    Old thread, but great thread. Running Hidden Shrine right now. I noticed that the thorn slingers in Room 38 have their size listed as Large in their stat block. Being Large, there's no way they would fit in the 5x5 squares where they're supposed to be sitting on. My guess is it's a simple...

    D&D 5E (2014) The New D&D Book: Candlekeep Mysteries: 17 Mystery Adventures [UPDATED!]

    Just checked. My MM, DMG, and PHB has an R, while all the rest have a TM on both the spine and behind the title, so these seems no different.
