I was not especially clear. My fault.

Isn't that exactly what is happening with the current SW license? Or is the TTRPG license wrapped up with the rest of "tabletop" and therefore theyare letting it languish because they are more interested in selling collectible cards and x-wings? Do we actually know anything about the Star Wars...

I do NOT say it underperformed, not even in the post you quoted. I said that IF it did, it would make sense to change up the creative team. That was in response to a post that suggested such a move would make no sense. I think 5.5 is bad, mind you, and I don't make any apologies for that. But...

Does Bladerunner have legs?

Really? I think we have seen more licensed RPGs in the last few years than ever before.

You don't even really need the sci-fi companion if you don't mind just reskinning stuff. The extra vehicle rules are useful, tho.

For me personally, a focus on Beyond only content would be the last nail in the coffin with regards to my interest in what WotC is doing with D&D.

Has getting the Star Wars license ever killed a company?

This is not as contradictory as you are trying to make it out to be. If I was trying to right a ship after a major release underperformed, I would certainly get rid of the old staff and hire some new staff.

If there has been a significant shift in strategy that necessitates rethinking the pipeline, it would make sense for them to try and draw extra revenue from elsewhere.

So is there an update on DMsGuild too, or just beyond?

Me too.

This is pessimistic and dystopian, but I think despite the very loud outcry against GenAI TTRPG stuff, the fact is that the TTRPG space is very highly susceptible to GenAI content. Because we have added millions of casual players over the last 5 years or more, the fact is that most of them do...

That is a pretty low level for even most modern indie games. What games do you think hit that spot?

RPG supplements, as a broad category, are a perfect thing for slop -' both writing and art. It sucks, but there really isn't a alternative.

I agree on an 8 for Hero.

The Force exists in the Star Wars fiction. But they aren't narrative mechanics.

I am sure some do, but I don't know anyone who works at those schools, and I know a lot of teachers.

ironically, private schools in the US pay their teachers like peasants and their admin like kings, so while the schools look nice on a college application, the education is not particularly good. I have known many people that teach at private schools and they make significantly less than public...

Smartphones and big tech will be the end of art.
