I think I have been to that store, but I am always cautious to extrapolate from one large city with a ton of expats to the country at large.

I have seen Japanese language D&D books in stores in Japan, so, as shown above, they are certainly available. They were being handled by Gale Force 9 and Hobby Japan but that ended in 2021 and were reignited directly by WoTC. I have seen nothing on a Chinese version. The countries outside of...

I often wonder how many of the people, even those with Asian heritages, that pontificate in these threads have been to or lived in Asia. I have and have a Chinese wife and so on, and many friends and former work colleagues, but the views of a Toronto-based Asian heritage person with little to no...

My DCC shelf …

I play Swords and Wizardry (0e D&D) and plenty of old school games. I don’t need to be told that games with fewer rules can be fun. You asked me why I answered the way I did. You counter points do not echo with me, I honestly think that you are exaggerating the other way. I have sat at tables...

I found the XP system poorly defined and the time between levels to be slower than I prefer. I also found that the implied tone worked better for one shots. Some mechanics like burning luck are much more fun in a one shot when you can nova and not spend a lot of game time recovering. Tracking...

I am flying back from GaryCon. I played Weird Trails and Star Crawl Classics there (both DCC based). I find for a con game using preconstructed characters with all the needed tables copied and ready, DCC is very, very fun. I have run a short campaign using it and I would say harder than other...

Somewhat of a pain to run. Purple Sorcerer helps, but there is more than usual paper shuffling and extra rolls. Lots of extra rolls even for simple spells and you really need a solution to keep your dice sorted.

I saw it on the lanyard they gave me when I checked in, which I handed down to my daughter with it making zero impression on me. Now the button I received from Jim Ward for playing in his game, that I will remember.

Really long survey. Been playing since 1981 and my first purchase was Holmes Basic boxed set. Have not played any TSR/WoTC D&D recently. Traveller, Hyperborea and Xall of Cthulhu.

There are a few Wizards people at GaryCon this year (as is usual).

I have not bought the paper version nor the D&D Beyond version of the latest book. I did buy the fantasy grounds version to make sure I had it if they lost access from their license not being renewed. After listening to answers in this, I have not changed my mind. I appreciate the PR as I think...

I am backing Sinless and there is a draft rulebook available to check out which is a good indication that the system is advanced enough to reduce the chance that deliveries will be massively delayed. So far it looks good.

I find it amusing that one of the internal villains earlier in the news cycle is one of the few non-white executives. Much of the ire directed at him was around tone and style which is very often just side for “they are not like us”. However, they are not the beloved D&D developer team, so...

NuTSR is neither a threat to WoTC nor is it OGL related. It keeps being brought up as a reason or defense for their actions and it simply is not.

SEC, not the FTC. Securities Exchange Comission. And the safe harbor for forward looking statements is pretty protective if you are not knowingly lying. Now, you can get sued, but lawsuits are common enough for simply the world changed and my guess was wrong. I do tend to make sure to say...

More often than not, calendar year and fiscal year are the same for companies. But they do not have to be. Many retailers end at Jan 31. Hasbro seems to be 4/4/5.
