Most of the lingering hatred stems from how they handled the digital products from 4th Edition, which were largely broken, proprietary, and downright horrific to use, despite charging a subscription fee. And because Wizards didn't want competition they refuses to allow any others to get licenses...

$0 monthly and this is a hill I will die on. I am one of those "whales" that Wizards is wanting to exploit. Tabletop games are one of my biggest hobbies and I spend at least a couple thousand dollars each year on rpg products between offical stuff, miniatures, dice, 3rd party products, and other...

Yes. Because Wizards, a corporate entity under Hasbro would totally tell the truth about a major reason for not releasing pdfs being that they want to "encourage" people to use their proprietary (and now 1st party) system in order to have any sort of electronic access to their ruleset...

I also don't like DnD Beyond. Something I've been very vocal about both here and to wizards ever since it's Beta inception. I think it's asinine that one has to pay both a subscription fee AND purchase books a second time in order to truly use their product. And before someone claims that it is...

That's at least a start. I've still no desire to use it if it's more than a one time fee and doesn't Allow customization and importing generic assets. But I'm also llikely not the target audience. I have no desire to use DnD Beyond either and likely never will. And I've STILL never forgiven...

There's a lot of unknowns here. First, any VTT that outright requires a VR headset is doomed to failure until said headsets are actually affordable (less than $100 and does NOT require an additional gaming system/pc on top of it) for the mainstream. Assuming their "3D VTT isn't Referring to...

Yeah. I'm thinking that's likely the case. I get COVID delays and whatnot, so I have some sympathies. I just wish I known ahead of time because if I did I would've just picked up the Deluxe edition. I like the Soth cover better but frankly the entire reason I wanted the damned thing was for the...

Honestly it's regional as well. Where I live I actually have the opposite problem: Not enough players. I've been seeking players for literally months now and have been unable to find anyone local to join our group. It doesn't help that I have zero interest in playing using online systems or...

I bought the middle one with every intention of purchasing the board game separately simply because I like the middle cover most. Unfortunately I did not realize that the board game itself is either not yet out or fiendishly hard to get because none of the stores nearby have it except for the...

The addition of a generic Arcane list helps at lot. But I want either origin spells, your origin to determine which spell list you draw from, or both. And I do NOT want sorcerers to be limited at all on spell school selection like bards are likely to be. Aside from stuff based on the playtest...

Yes. The class progression was wonky. While I prefer the 3e stuff for lore, agreed. 5e is lacking in that regard. The mechanics are far superior though. You must be new here. Welcome to every Dragonlance thread ever since the internet's inception. More on these to the actual thread...

What I do for my games is reskin the races. I let players pick either human, human varient, or half-orc for the various human factons/countries (with suggestions based on the 3.5 book). For the races that are in the setting that aren't in the PHB (minotaur, half-orges, Irda, and Tarmak) I use...

No. But as someone who is a Dragonlance fan who is dyametrically opposed to them our wants for the setting cannot co-exist by definition. They want everything I like about the setting to be ignored and undone. This is by sheer requirement for me to acknowledge their existence and make my...

No. I'm not one of these purists. I'm in fact the opposite. A quick look at my posting history will reveal this, as well as in pretty much every Dragonlance thread on this forum there are always people whining about Age of Mortals and hoping they retcon it out. There are also numerous threads...

Except that this is just factually wrong for D&D 5e for that specific time period. War of the Lance or immediately after it does not work with the rules of the 5e players handbook without making a bunch of sweeping changes that will just annoy setting purists anyway. To name just what I can...

See here's the thing, as a game setting at least, I actually prefer Age of Mortals. Strongly in fact. At least for the lore (agreed on the SAGA rules, the 3.5 campaign setting set post War of Souls is great though). I actually frequently defend it on these boards fairly regularly, and while I am...

According to the actual cannon lore (which will likely just get retconned because WoTC likely won't want to go this route), yes. Sorcerers and warlocks would basically be considered renegades. There is literally an entire book about this call The Wizards' Conclave set during the age of mortals...

To add to this whole conversation of whether players are "jerks" or not for refusing to prepare certain spells or not because it isn't in character. Or people being jerks for trying to force them to, I point out that it isn't just as simple issue either. There are times where "in character"...

Only if you are using the definition of occult to be "mind altering". The more traditional use of the word often includes subjects like alchemy and older pre-modern medical practices, stuff very much on theme to the artificer. I am also not 100% set on that name anyway given the obvious pf2e...

Oh you're d%&$ skippy I'll be pitching a fit on the surveys if they pigeonhole the Sorcerer to limited spell schools like that. The bard and other hybrid classes are one thing, but as far as I'm concern the main and arguably only reason to even switch to a generic class list split is so that...
