This is really cool. Thanks for posting it! It definitely removes any legacy components that may be upsetting. Now something more to read.

We heard this, and yet it didn't even get mentioned in the quarterly report. Seems like it may have been some semantics rather than something that the shareholders would be excited about. It will be interesting to see how much is discussed in the next few months.

I remember looking at a PDF of part of the rules, which is likely what everyone is talking about it. I know you can order it through Backerkit but have no idea if it's actually available at the moment. From what I remember, it was very nice, and for the right group interested in telling the...

Oh I have nothing to do with the game other than enjoying it. When I release an RPG I'll make sure to let everyone here know so you can love or hate it as you want. I promise. It very much does feel like Dungeon World (which I sort of think of as a starting point for a lot of people) with Blades...

It depends on the game. If you want your game to be widely accessible, you should probably design around it in my opinion (as anytime I don't state something as objective fact, you can assume I'm doing...) I play and have played a ton of games. Many of them limited themselves in player base by...

And when it gets too annoying, there's the Ignore button. I find using that helps me not get more annoyed than minimally necessary. I'm sure many folks have done the same with me...;)

I am not a DDB user but I have heard the stories. It seems like this should be a strength of the site but it's just not. Since all my groups play online, I just do an Internet search for it. Sometimes, I get answers from EnWorld! Playing in-person I like to keep tech tools away from me but for...

I think this is so important! In my current group, we have a player who has trouble with the rules. His fighter character had to be reminded of things like Action Surge and Second Wind ... every session. He is a great roleplayer and a smart guy overall, so there's just something about the rules...

I think this is a really good point. The roles in the game largely came out of very early play. I remember being told, "Stay behind the meat shield!" ... in the 1970s. The biggest role that we didn't really see until later was the striker. Sure, certain classes could do more damage (Rangers were...

There's nothing wrong with any of that and you play the games you like. You do you. I'm writing this for all the people who aren't you who might read this and think, "Oh, so this is just a 5E heartbreaker." I've read and played a lot of those. Grimwild is not that. Frankly, I think anyone coming...

I'm sorry, but this could not be more wrong. The classes are presented so people who are familiar with 5E are able to come into the game and see something they like. In practice, the game plays nothing like 5E. It is "Dungeons in the Dark," essentially being a mashup of classic fantasy gaming...

I just want to make sure to say an important thing: I'm not saying anything's wrong with that. I really go out of my way not to yuck anyone's yum. Enjoy it 100%!

I have nothing bad to say about MAPS as a nice free product. I will say, if it's intended to be the actual company VTT going forward, I would love to be in the meeting where someone has to show it off to upper management or investors. I think you would have to have the sales ability of Robert...

I feel the same way. I'm a huge baseball fan, so I'm going to use a baseball analogy. I'm a Milwaukee Brewers fan, and several times in the last few years, I've seen our rival teams just give up and not look to improve themselves long before the division or the wild card spots had been decided...

This is a very good question. I think they'd be shooting themselves in the foot if it was too big to use with hosting services. I am able to self host, but I was considering online storage so players would have access to the game 24/7.

That is pretty much what I was thinking. I'm a Foundry guy (even though I play using Roll20 each week), and I was holding off on picking up the whole line until my group figured out which VTT we were using. There was a strong incentive to use Beyond/Sigil because it's an in-house product. I...

As someone who's traveled a lot, I find people to be the same underneath near everywhere. Whether that's for good or for ill depends on if you're an optimist or a pessimist. Honestly I change my opinion on that on a regular basis.

I have always said, assume the worst and you'll often be pleasantly surprised ;).

On the dragon mini thing, I think the reason it's being mocked is because it sounded silly at the time, but WotC went out of their way to market it. Yes, it wasn't important, but tell that to WotC's marketers.
