Emphasis mine. I completely agree that there is a wide level of romantacism within "medieval" portrayals in RPGs and elsewhere. Heck, this erasure and revision extends to this statement. The erasure of the Amazigh as the Moors and insisting they are sub-saharan Africans is an extremely modern...

Yeah, in retrospect you are completely correct. It really is par for the course regarding WotC. Don't mind me! :giggle:

Is something happening over at WotC that I'm just not aware of? They seem to be shedding a lot of seasoned talent lately.

Yes, I found it. Pretty sure they print through their sister company, Chenault & Gray Publishing.

Doesn't Troll Lord Games effectively print in-house because Stephen Chenault also owns a printing company? Maybe I'm completely wrong. It's certainly the exception rather than the rule though.

RIP, Ernie. May you toss dice with your father in a better place.

Thank youfor the break down. So, nothing truly evoking North Africa. North Africa, to me meaning countries constituted of majority Arab and Amazigh ethnicities with other minorities thrown in? Mulhorand being the closest, evoking an ancient Egypt feel?

Genuine question. Maybe I'm just not as well-read with Faerun as I thought. Where is there a North African analog in the setting? I'm sincerely interested as my wife is Moroccan.

I'll guess $47 million.

I am astounded and completely applaud their final decision. However, that doesn't just wipe away what they tried to do, they attempted to create a walled garden within the D&D Beyond ecosystem for OneDND while simultaneously turning everything outside of those walls into a nuclear wasteland...

Do you know where I can find this information?

I can honestly say that I am utterly surprised by this news. I tend to agree with several other posters in that this probably means 6E or whatever will be completely different in terms of licensing and compatibility. WotC has let the metaphorical cat out of the bag now, I think they've lost the...

Welcome aboard! I'm sure other will chime in on this, but I'll give it a go. I would say that whether an 80 xp monster is the same threat as four 20 xp monsters is going to be dependent on circumstances like terrain, group composition, etc. The biggest thing to take into consideration is...

This doesn't actually seem that bad, but I fear it is too little too late for a lot of 3PP. I think WotC let the cat out of the bag. If they had started with this after the initial leak then things may have been different. I think there are too many ways for them to strip OGL 1.2 from you as well.

You are definitely right. I never played the Creative Assembly games, but I heard thy are excellent. I have really strange feelings about Age of Sigmar, as I wish they hadn't destroyed the setting in order to change the game, and it doesn't help that I feel like I contributed to its creation...

This is, essentially, a reframing of what they already said last week. I've gone through a lot of back and forth, even on these boards, but I think I just don't care anymore. They are at least allowing currently published OGL content to stand. Most publishers will surely move on to ORC, while a...

I learned a word today. Thanks!

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the folks at Mongoose Publishing are top class because not only do they believe in ethical causes like open gaming, but they back it up with actions. Well done, Matt and team!

Excellent news! I'll back this if it goes to Kickstarter.

I laid out my stance in another thread but I am basically at the point where I need to see what WotC actually does rather than what they tried to do. I can't blame them for wanting to create a closed ecosystem centered around D&D Beyond, but I also don't think it wise if they don't allow already...
