IMO, yes, you are overreacting. And this repeated, "the water is getting warmer" is mildly insulting. Those of us who disagree with you, that digital only is anti-consumer, are ignorant frogs in the pot, slowly boiling to death. Or, we are fully aware frogs relaxing in the pool, who don't feel...

WotC's job to "figure it out"? They did, and decided on the format we're getting. Losing sales from people who "care about owning the media they buy" . . . I suspect that is not a huge number. Why should WotC spend extra money catering to a minority of customers? Providing a book in digital...

Well, I would! But yeah, point taken! :) That would probably explain why none of the movie characters have shown up in the art for the D&D 2024 line so far.

A physical version of the extra content, the "DLC"? That would be nice, but . . . would that be practical for WotC? For something to get made, it has to appeal to customers, but also make financial sense to the company. Heh, I'm the frog in the pot huh? Nah. I just realized over time that...

True, but you only "own" the physical media, not the work itself. And that's, of course, what you lose with a digital version. But . . . what is your solution? How could WotC, or any other company, provide you with a digital book that you "own" rather than just "license"? This distinction used...

Not really. Rick & Morty is a known quantity and makes sense for D&D to try and reach out to it's fans. Honor Among Thieves and Baldur's Gate 3 are already D&D, and were not a known quantity at the time. For the D&D team to produce some sort of tie-in or crossover, it has to make financial...

If I already own the fantastic D&D 2014 version, what's the advantage of "upgrading" to the D&D 2024 version?

Or, I don't know, you could read the thread before posting out of ignorance. Shrug.

Please. First, we don't know the digital format yet . . . WotC has released this kind of content both in PDF format and in web format before. It's likely it will be web format, but we'll have to see. But even so . . . WotC has offered digital extras going back to the days of 3E. In various...

No matter the format, you are purchasing a license rather than ownership of the book (or other type of media). The physical media definitely has the advantage of not disappearing into a puff of smoke with a website change or some other corporate change . . . but physical media can be lost too...

The main, larger article, is only available to subscribers . . . behind a paywall. Or if you pick up the print magazine at your local store. Which, I'm personally totally fine with. A whole lotta upset over nothing, IMO.

The "board game" language is being used for both this Stranger Things set and the new Starter Set as well. I'm not worried. It's just a way to describe all the doo-dads that come with the rules and adventures.

Kinda. It doesn't cover what happened to the kids and the town of Hawkins, but it gives us Eddie's "lost" adventures he would have run the Hellfire Club players through . . . had events gone differently.

A pre-order link is now available on D&D Beyond...

Dude. Relax. D&D played the biggest role in Season 4 with Eddie and the Hellfire Club. It makes a lot of sense for a D&D boxed set to focus on. This boxed set isn't a promo for Season 5, it's a tie-in to the series overall, timed to take advantage of the hype for the last season. We'll have to...

They're smiling because they're having fun! What's better than a dungeon delve to blow off some steam? :)

Cash grab? That's a term I dislike intensely, as it simply means, "Why didn't they make a product I would have liked?" And what is inherently wrong with making a product that is likely to be successful and make money . . . to grab cash? Tried and true formula? If you got one, use it. But this...

Inside scoop says clone Ultraman returns in the sequel as Nuclear Bizarro! Who fights Ultraman from Earth 3!!

It is difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. And exactly how difficult varies with the video game, tv show, or movie they are trying to tie into. I'm armchair quarterbacking here, but . . . For the movie D&D Honor Among Thieves . . . previous D&D movies did not do well, this may have...

Disagree. The mechanical impact of species at 1st level only versus the 20 level spread of class . . . that means your heritage is your background, it's where you begin, but your class defines who you are. It prioritizes your actions over your parentage, which I prefer. Over the years various...
