    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    I don't really think this thread is the place to dive into this. But suffice to say, I think there is alot of "noise". Imagine being new to to the hobby and wanting a short D&D adventure so you pop into the DM's Guild, where do you start? How do you know what's any good? And that's limiting it...

    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    Having accessible self-publishing is both the best and worst thing about the hobby simultaneously.

    The D&D 4th edition Rennaissaince: A look into the history of the edition, its flaws and its merits

    You can. You would just literally have to restate everything in your own language in those core books and publish it under the OGL. Nothing like that exists. Probably because it's a ton of work. ORCUS comes closest and even that isn't all that close to being a true 4E retroclone in the vein...

    Okay. Me, once we hit the "courage of your convictions" part of the argument about elf game sales:

    The D&D 4th edition Rennaissaince: A look into the history of the edition, its flaws and its merits

    Yeah, it certainly seems plausible that PF won via only the metrics ICV2 looks at and in the total aggregate picture 4E was still tops. That all being said, this reminds me of the old Norm Macdonald joke about Germany fighting the world twice "But this time, it was really close". Like, the...

    Evil Genius Games Attempts To Remove Bad Press [Update--And Then Adds Legal Threats!]

    Well, that backfired spectacularly didn't it?

    D&D General Ray Winninger on 5e’s success, product cadence, the OGL, and more.

    This is where I fall. I know I'm in the minority, on this board anyway, about that. But, a 50% revenue split and a perpetual license are a pretty extortionate set of terms when you are, in essence, taking on the work and expense of doing their product support work for them. They certainly...

    What’s good about Call of Cthulhu 7th Ed? (and what’s not)

    Pretty much a perfect encapsulation of why it's the best. Unifying everything to percentages and getting rid of the resistance table are things they needed to do for decades especially.

    Everyone's favorite edgy boi Raggi is over a decade late on the LotFP Referee book.

    OSR OSR game with more dangerous magic

    While they both share elements of Vance's weird, high strangeness and opaque magic and Moocock's Law vs Chaos thing, DCC leans more into the former while WFRP leans more into the latter.

    D&D General Dark Sun as a Hopepunk Setting

    I hope I'm not the only one who misread the title of Dark Sun as a Horsepunk Setting. That would be pretty cool too.

    OSR OSR game with more dangerous magic

    Yeah, in DCC all of that is built into every check, between the mercurial magic effects determined when the spell is learned to a custom table for every spell and then also corruption tables, this is the way. You can basically remove it entirely from that game and put it into any OSR D&D clone...

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Household, DC Heroes, Mice of Legends, and more

    They started playing music from my high school days on the classic rock station recently. Brother, I'm basically already dead. So right there with you.

    RPG Crowdfunding News – Household, DC Heroes, Mice of Legends, and more

    I was initially excited about this too and that was my exact reaction also.

    DC Heroes Role-Playing Game Gets New Reprint from Cryptozoic

    I collect omnis. The thing is, yeah they are quality and pricey but I can buy them for 50% off MSRP from instocktrades when they hit retail. Can't do that here. Also, still no PDFs.

    DC Heroes Role-Playing Game Gets New Reprint from Cryptozoic

    I was excited until I saw that to get everything it was $650 plus $ 90 shipping and it also does not include any PDFs. Value just isn't there, I'm sorry to say. I'll have to reluctantly pass.

    I mean, he did, but it was France in the 90s so with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth.
