    I think you underestimate how important Critical Role was to 5E's success.

    Invincible RPG Announced by Free League

    I wonder if it will use the dice pool version or the newer one that has you roll different polyhedral dice?

    Hasbro Stock Price Surges After Elon Musk Makes Comments About Purchasing Company

    Yeah, Twitter was a terrible deal that illustrates why many people dislike Musk. Inferring "fraud" in relationship to Musk's poor decision making speaks volumes too. Its really easy to remain a billionaire when you start out rich.

    Elon Musk Calls for Wizards of the Coast to "Burn in Hell" Over Making of Original D&D Passages

    Each new day I wake up to something here in the U.S. that looks like its an Onion article or SNL skit and instead its real behavior by billionaires and newly re-elected politicians. Wow.

    A great quick-start too. Excellent idea.

    ALIEN 2nd Edition Is Coming...

    A KS for a 2E doesn't seem like a good tie-in for Romulus to me, that isn't helping people excited after seeing the movie. And another KS bothers me too, it is a guaranteed "preorder system" but if this is supposed to captialize on Romulus it just doesn't work for me on any front.

    When Jason mentions doing freelance work is that for Paizo? Is that odd?

    D&D 5E (2024) 3,000 Player's Handbooks Available At Gen Con

    As a local game store it's just another WotC wrinkle that we've grown used to. I do appreciate the Alt cover and the 2 week window but WotC has bigger fish to fry and I even understand that.

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    I honestly hope brighter horizons are ahead for her. If is an emergency I wish her well. Cocks made some big promises and on some leave, IMO, a higher up has to answer for their fallen stocks and the fact they were downgraded. I think it will eventually catch up with him but she is an easy...

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    My concern is how they will handle the logistics of all of those preorders they are going after with DnD Beyond. Who is handling the shipping once they release? I know that there have been some rough spots with their M:tG Secret Lairs. Its hard enough competing with Amazon as a local game store...

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    I don't think we are much of a factor. They probably fired everyone who backed the OGL and therefore we have brain drain on how to make this brand work. To me, the people in charge of Magic & DnD are like cockroaches, they are good at keeping their jobs by deflection. Probably learned it from Cox :(

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    Sadly, I can see her gender being a factor for being scapegoated :( Cox can easily claim, "Look at WotC's sales when I was in charge and Hasbro's gains before I hired her." Darkest timeline ever.

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    I'm leaning to she was under fire and found a different gig. Just my 2 cents. Her tenures at Amazon & Microsoft were more "successful" (read their corporate tyranny was better swallowed). I don't wish her or Cox misfortune I just wish they'd stop messing with things that were working. WotC was...

    WotC WotC President Cynthia Williams Resigns

    “She helped implement Cocks’ Blueprint 2.0 strategy, which narrowed Hasbro’s focus on licensing the company’s most profitable brands and emphasizing digital products as much as possible….That blueprint has not materialized in the way Cocks wanted. The company faces an extremely tough 2023 and...

    ZWEIHÄNDER Reforged: Talking With Daniel D. Fox (World of Game Design)

    Respectfully, I thought Zweihander started as a retroclone and at some point I feel like Daniel didn't want us to remember that. I'd feel the same way if Old School Essential's Gavin Norman decided that his work has no connection to B/X DnD. I mean, the name Zweihander was chosen as a connection...

    How Quickly Do You Bounce Off a System?

    I'm 51 and have been playing since the early '90s so there are certain things in rules I know won't work for me. I'm not a fan of FATE, Powered by the Apocalypse, or Forged in the Dark games. I'm sure it's my own issue and I avoid them. I usually walk away from a game if it doesn't have Hit...
