    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    I don't disagree, but your last paragraph is making way too light of the situation or the underlying issue. IF it's an individual that does something on it's own that doesn't have the authority to do so, internal processes need to be adjusted. Hasbro owns WotC now for 25+ years, if this isn't...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    Well, I watched that partly before you mentioned it and that was actually what motivated my post/perspective. And imho there can be a significant difference between what people say and what they do. Or even what people belief they are doing and what they are actually doing. He (and you) can...

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    If it is, could you instead of giving your interpretation, quote each step from the new PHB (with page number)? I've strung the separate rules together and that leaves a LOT of interpretation and making pretty big leaps between each rule. For example the Hide Action talks about 'finding', that...

    D&D 5E (2024) New stealth rules.

    Where is that action listed? ;) If things were that simple, we wouldn't be having a 1200+ reaction discussion... I have a LOT of issues with these rules, parts of it are scattered all over the PHB and it's up to us to assemble that in a working whole? And I have this sneaking suspicion that...

    Possible copyright strike on YouTube (have three of those and you're out!)? This behavior might influence other (potential) partners from ever working with him in the future. And whether or not he views himself a WOTC partner or not, he effectively is by accepting the early access to PHB and...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    Maybe because a pdf for the whole PHB 2024 showed up online stamped across each spread with: (c) Wizards of The Coast FOR USE ONLY BY DnDShorts

    Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive TTRPG Makes $1M In Under An Hour

    At a certain point you could take some initiative and read some blurbs on GoodReads for example: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/38550.Brandon_Sanderson I'm not a fan, I think I tried reading one of his books once and that didn't stick at the time (no clue which one to be honest)...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 PHB/DMG/MM art/layout: like or dislike?

    From other threads I'm seeing some people expressing either positive or negative views on the 2024 D&D PHB/DMG/MM art, but I often don't see a reason why. From what I've seen from the PHB and the previews of the other books I can say I dislike the art/layout of the 2024 D&D PHB/DMG/MM as a...

    About $4.67 Billion to get 51% of Hasbro... (at the moment). You just need another 75 million like minded people with $62.50 in their pocket... Yeah... Getting a consensus in that amount of people... Good luck! ;) Jaywalking is also illegal... Have you never done that? When a cop sees that...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D Player's Handbook Video Redactions & Takedowns

    These extreme actions by WotC/Hasbro legal and management tend to come from people that don't (want to) understand how piracy works. The moment they release the book on DDB, it's going to be ripped to a pdf, the moment they sell one of the books, ship one of the books to reviewers, etc. There...

    Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive TTRPG Makes $1M In Under An Hour

    This just hit $2 million, Brotherwise Games has never done an RPG before, just board games and minis for the BS universe. Don't know how much trust I would put into that. But it's BS, so it's gonna sell extremely well! I think they'll blow past that $10 million mark. Especially with a $385...

    Project Sigil Project Sigil Updates: D&D's 3d Virtual Tabletop

    D&D Insider was crap when it came out. I think 4e was mechanically extremely strong, I own most of 4E D&D products, but it didn't feel like D&D to our group and we never got interest/motivated in playing/DMing it. This is not a poke at the 4e edition. I never touched D&D Insider at the end, but...

    Project Sigil Project Sigil Updates: D&D's 3d Virtual Tabletop

    Gee... I wonder why... * looks at WotC's trackrecord the last 25 years * Look, we can all stick our head in the sand and pretend the last 25 years of WotC software program/services didn't happen, but that's just foolish imho. When a company tries to make a new software/services ecosystem (what...

    Project Sigil Project Sigil Updates: D&D's 3d Virtual Tabletop

    Minis are 3d objects, thus 3d objects can be properly 3d scanned, and with some work converted to STL files. There are also a TON of 3rd parties, kickstarters, patreons and STL sites that provide high quality STLs. Now, getting those STLs from something to print to something to use in a 3D VTT...

    Project Sigil Project Sigil Updates: D&D's 3d Virtual Tabletop

    It looks pretty from the screenshots, but I'm going to be harsh here: Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. In the last 25 years WotC (Hasbro) has imho produced one good product of tech/software and that is Magic the Gathering: Arena. Everything else was either absolute crap or...

    Quick, while everyone is focused on the 5.24 PHB...

    Yes, it's from the German "Das Scwharze Auge" (DSA). The current game doesn't resemble the version from 35+ years ago. It was my first RPG and reminds me a lot of the atmosphere of those old choose your adventure books, it was gritty and certainly not high magic. More akin to WFRP then D&D imho...

    Are our tastes set?

    No. But our (perceived) likes might be. Keep in mind that certain things not only have a functional/aesthetic value to us, but also an emotional one. We use words like nostalgia, which is essentially a high emotional attachment to something. That attachment might be due to it being your 'first'...

    Mine was "Oog Des Meesters", in English know as "The Dark Eye" somewhere in '85-'88, we moved to the Dutch version of the basic red box of D&D in '88 and then moved on to the English version of AD&D 2nd Edition in '89.
