To be frank, I do not see anything coming from OneBonkShelf, Fantasy Grounds or Roll20 anytime soon as they already have licences with WotC. They will like either not make any statements or do so well after the official release of 1.1.

No plans to jump ship. Already play multiple systems. No need to abandon my current D&D game. That would very much a throwing the baby out with the bathwater situation.

If CR moves away from D&D, they are more likely to move to someone's system. It takes a lot of resources and skills to design a workable RPG, which I do not think they have currently. Should they dump D&D, if I were them, I would stop doing any fantasy gaming for a while as they figure things...

Full agreement.

It is very odd, I cannot recall when they last time failed to do basic marketing for a new product.

BINGO. I am in the exact same situation. I can get half the players to do a CoC one-shot when we cannot get others for D&D, otherwise no agreement for the whole group.

It is also worth realizing that there recently a fight with some Hasbro shareholders feeling that Hasbro was getting the full worth out of D&D. This could be one reaction to that pressure.

Nope. Why would I hurt the independent creators I have backed over the years by not continuing to help their projects go forward.

Hasbro also understands that games and toys trend. What falls out of favour this year, could be back in fashion in a decade. They have let brands rest, only to bring them out again for a new generation. They also understand nostalgia. For example, this year their NERF brand will be reissuing...

Again, did they really flinch? We have no idea what the lawyers discussed or agreed to, and it is likely we will never know. There is a good chance that they when just cut this paragraph out and their writers' lawyers told their clients to agree. We are on the outside. Here the whole picture...

Did they really? The case never made it to court. In the end was a definitive statement about what each side gained and/or lost?

There are game stores in my area that are still stuck with merchandise from the d20 glut. Since then, they have not ordered almost anything D&D related but books from WotC, Pazio or Kobold Press. More than one retailer has told me that they consider a 3rd party 5E book to a risk to carry...

I have a had at least one company vanish from DriveThruRPG in the past and be left with no way to access their files. In some case they have been in the library app, so I regain access that way.

Exactly what my grand-uncle, a very successful criminal lawyer once explained to me when I was in high school and was concerning going to law school.

Suggest that you use the Library app if you have large collection. I took me several hours, 128 GBs total for nearly 9000 files. DriveThruRPG.com

There is tool on DriveThruRPG, install it and you can get it to download your library. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/library_client.php I have used it to back up my library. Took a while as I have thousands of items.

Darren Watts, game publisher and author, is reported as having passed away on December 31st, 2022 after suffering from a heart attack the week before.

Tenkar's reply to being sued by LaNasa.

Could be time for a recap page with all this madding history in one place.

Confirms something that my high school gaming buddies and I thought; Dark Sun novels were interesting to read, but few people were interested in playing in that setting. None of us were interested in DMing a Dark Sun campaign or playing in one, however we all read the books.
