The author uses 'them' as their pronouns. This is an author including a character they identify with. Not sure how that is "too forced" when it is literally them referencing their own personal experience. Just because you, by your own admission, aren't following along with the younger...

Here ya go! I'd go with the PDF. There is a web page version but it's on a painful 90's-style tiling background like we loved to use back then. :ROFLMAO: (I really should try to track down who owns Planewalker.com and see if we could restart it. It's still maintained as a great archive, but it...

Exactly! Plus they sure seem more "super excited to do this after starting to play AD&D as a teen" than "welp, gotta pay the bills." https://www.patreon.com/posts/hey-do-you-want-147580209 It's weird to think people still have hang ups about tie-in fiction that they immediately think it's only...

Yep. Watching the earliest episodes, it's pretty clear they weren't bringing in endorsement money! It's definitely come a long way from Matt's hand drawn maps on large sheets of paper with too thin of a sharpie to show up well on an internet stream. I haven't watch any CR for a couple years or...

They have said DLC add-ons will be available for purchase separately. The only thing that appears to be a pre-order exclusive is the Dallabad Oasis Animated Map. Oh, and they are thankfully updating the product info page, because I was confused about that as well...

Yes, and looking at the "$76 savings" claim along with individual prices for the books & dice, at least, it looks like all three DLCs together are valued around $50ish. Whether that's 20/20/10 or 20/15/15 or some other combination (including any value they are including from the map pack?), we...

Yeah, I think the Digital Bundle product info is just wrong. They must have decided to post it with incorrect/incomplete info for whatever reason, and it will include the DLCs for about $62-ish.

(Deleted. Never mind. The Digital Bundle product page has got to be wrong/incomplete. It doesn't make any sense otherwise.)

They can answer for themselves, but at a guess since they only said so far that August and September won't be at Amazon it's a matter of too fast of a turn around to get the August books to Amazon directly, but hopefully should be resolved soon after???

Thanks for the additional information! I can see the law working that way, but also, if I am understanding that correctly, the proper procedure is all 128 of those companies should have filed UCC-1's in Maryland AND notified all 127 other companies in writing (or at least as many that have filed...

At least from that other article (just one source so far, tho), it is not that Diamond is claiming publishers were given ample time or notice to claim their stuff. They are not alleging that. Apparently, the filing states that publishers didn't file a "U.C.C.-1" form to basically put a lien on...

This article has more detail: https://bleedingfool.com/comics/consignment-or-confiscation-diamonds-bankruptcy-leaves-publishers-guessing/ IANAL either, but at least from the details provided it sounds like Diamond is claiming since the companies selling on consignment didn't file a claim...

This is the first I have heard "openness" rather than "virality" of copyleft licenses defined by volume of open content. If this is truly the overwhelmingly common definition used by all of the TTRPG for the past 25 years (well, except for everyone else in thread), I'm going throw a "citation...

This really confuses me. I thought this thread is here on EN World. I thought we are all part of this community. I see many members of this community disagreeing with you and no one agreeing. Are we not members of this community (TTRPG and EN World)? Or do only the True Scots of this community...

So, if I understand this, you are saying: Under OGL - Product A releases some OGC. Product B uses that OGC and has to release their own. Under CC-BY - Product A releases some open content. Product B uses that content but does not have to release it's own. So therefore OGL is "more open" than...

Speaking of which, the A5E SRD is enormous and thank you for that! It's awesome all that you have in there! Buuuut.... just to be greedy ;) , any chance of updates to it like more Gate Pass Gazettes or mechanics from Planestriders or Zeitgeist? This is a purely selfish request related to a...

That, to me, is a huge part of the problem. WotC no longer has any interest in being a "Publisher." They (executive management, of course) have not been shy for years to outright call themselves a "Brand Management" company. They do not see themselves as the largest RPG Publisher, and in fact...

Also don't ignore the other revenue stream that WotC themselves have said is a major focus of their efforts:

I would also be very dubious about that since any evidence not from WotC themselves (very likely Bookscan data, I'm guessing, if not just made up or extrapolated from arcane reverse engineering Amazon sales rank tea leaves) will not include any numbers from WotC's own direct sales which they...
