    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    I'm not saying this to be snarky and maybe you are a lawyer who really understands this stuff, but are you implying you found a hole in the Creative Commons that any creator of previously released material can use to sue those who used it? All the CC lawyers missed this across the four current...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    "The licenses and CC0 cannot be revoked. This means once you apply a CC license to your material, anyone who receives it may rely on that license for as long as the material is protected by copyright, even if you later stop distributing it."...

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    I wouldn't expect anything more than what's in the 5.1 SRD just updated with new stats and new language. But we'll see!

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    yeah, I'm not disagreeing with anything you said. Just bringing up a point about why others are interested in it. I want it to add D&D 2024 versions of monsters to my Artisanal Monster Database and Open5e.

    D&D General So what about the SRDs?

    I'm hoping to see it for that reason. Being able to take the new D&D 2024 monsters they choose to release and have them in other formats like Markdown or use them in tools like Owlbear Rodeo with its monster plugin. We'll hopefully see new character builders built for D&D 2024 even if they don't...

    Compare The Market's Tabletop Gaming Survey

    3000 is plenty. It’s when you start to subdivide and then subdivide again that the sample rate starts to break down. 12.8% of Americans playing tabletop games is now significantly less. They don’t say what percentage were per country of the 3,000 so we don’t know what number we’re looking at...

    Compare The Market's Tabletop Gaming Survey

    A couple of interesting things. If my math is right, that tells us there are about 34 million people in the us 18 and up who play tabletop RPGs and war games. It also looks like there are about 11 million D&D players / collectors. One thing to consider is that the sample sizes get really small...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    My wife and I were very lucky that we had our City of Arches books printed and delivered from Canada to the US just a few weeks ago. One thing I’m not 100% clear on is that I believe the tariff is on the manufacturing cost of the product, not the retail price, is that correct? That matters a...

    D&D 5E (2024) What's Your 2026 WotC D&D Wishlist?

    More sourcebooks like Eberron Rising from the Last War and Ravnica. A bigger focus on campaign material instead of larger adventure paths. More books like Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft. Those three books are fantastic models of the sorts of books I like.

    D&D 5E (2014) What is the Deal with the Twilight Cleric?

    One thing people typically miss is how disruptive twilight sanctuary is to implement. It triggers a thing that happens on everyone’s turn but isn’t any type of action. So every turn the cleric has to remind each character to take their temporary hit points. It added a whole extra thing to do...

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    No, not really. My wife recently became an official business partner in our little enterprise and a couple of weeks ago she spent a good chunk of a day sending DMCA takedowns to scribd which had a bunch of our stuff. It's definitely whack a mole but we try to hit the biggest vendors. And yeah...

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    What really chaps my ass is that I give a ton away for free. I give away good usable chunks of all of my books for free. They're all linked on my store's pages. Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master is super cheap. $8 for the PDF. All my books are priced down to get them into as many hands as...

    What videogames are you playing in 2025?

    I just finished Animal Well on my Steam Deck and loved it. These days it takes a special game to grab my attention for long. I loved Warhammer 40K Bolt Gun — a Doom-style 40K game. I got some distance into the original WH40K Space Marine but it got kind of repetitive and I put it down. Rogue...

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    Yep. All of it. A lot of it still is on other places.

    D&D 5E (2014) Free5e on Kickstarter

    My understanding is that they will come with the discount codes for the POD by default. That's the intent of the whole project. Make it as cheap as possible for people to play 5e worldwide.

    What makes a TTRPG purchase "worth it" to you?

    Really fantastic thread and one I’m paying attention to as both a publisher and a customer. I like to think I have different layers of potential purchases. As a publisher, such purchases are a business expense so I’m in a different boat than most people but I consider $20 an experimental price...

    How Do You Keep Track of All Your RPG Books?

    I don’t have a great system for physical books. For PDFs I use /RPGs/game system/publisher/type/product.pdf without nesting that deep if I don’t need to. I might skip publisher if it’s just one publisher for a system and I can skip type if there aren’t enough PDFs to bother to split up types...

    Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem

    To me, the argument comes down to this: OpenAI and other companies are being valuated at hundreds of billions of dollars. They'd be worth nothing if they didn't have this material. Therefore this material has value. Value they should pay for. If the value of that information is nothing, OpenAI...
