I call this the Great Digitization of the Game*. It's like crabification. Why do animals keep evolving into crabs. From Balder's Gate to World of Warcraft, and Roll20 to project Sigil, Dungeons and Dragons keeps evolving into a computer game by inspiring those games and then shredding players...

Sorry, I accidentally hit the "Post reply" button before I was done, so I'll start again.

She's a half-elven ranger in leather armor with a cube of force.

I think Dungeons and Dragons will be hardly discernable from any other computer game in 2034.

I think any 60th anniversary books will either be very thin or very expensive, because at that point, most of us will be purchasing content piecemeal online.

I wonder if Wizards of the Coast is counting on the confusion? Counting on it to drive players to seek official, ever-updated, constantly changing content available online that is long past compatible with the old 2014 books as well as the old 2024 books.

Pathfinder's Gamemastery Guide is essential. And, there are so many other 3rd party things. Green Ronin's Advanced Gamemaster's Guide is great. They also have The Book of the Righteous which has fully fleshed out religions and whole systems of religions. Pathfinder's Ultimate Campaign is good...

Eureka! It just clicked with me! I don't usually count 3.0 and 3.5 as separate editions, but I do consider 2 to be a separate edition. (This all happens when I'm counting editions for whatever reason.) I think this 50th anniversary edition will be like 3.0 and 3.5 for me--5.0 and 5.5...

Rest assured that in a not-real world the elephant populations can absorb this kind of exploitation. Real world economics be damned.

Yes, Dungeons and Dragon "economics" is silly. But, the money you make from the rations BETTER be more than an elephant or you ain't going to be in business for very long. Now I feel silly. What is truly silly is that we even try to apply real world economics to a not-real world.

I would absolutely love to see such a product! Then, and only then, will I take a look at it and decide whether I would pay money for it. I suspect I would find such a book to be very boring, so I probably would not buy it.

King Phillip Came Over For Good Sex. Was my professor just a pervert or something?

I recently saw Empires as a classification above Domains. This was an attempt to bring viruses into the fold.

If I'm not completely wrong, plate tectonics wasn't really a thing until the 1960s and was still very much considered a theory when I was a wee lad in school in the 1980s. It wasn't until modern GP systems came about at the turn of the century that we could actually track the movement of...

Hey, Yolande where you at? Here I am, spitting out rhymes like BAM! BAM! BAM!

Looks like we'll have to keep a close eye on sorcerous burst.

Oh no, Mindy is a very real person. She likes to play Dungeons and Dragons, but she doesn't play because she's afraid for her character. I brought up Mindy because I think some of us* get too attached to our characters. Then we inflict trama onto ourselves by putting our creations into...

My reaction was so extreme that I had to edit my post to ensure readers that I'm not being sarcastic which just made it worse! The personality system was, no, IS one of my favorite things about Dungeons and Dragons. And it was right on the front of the characters sheet, where it belongs, to...
