    WotC What is the last WotC adventure you played in or DM'd?

    Ran a modified bit from Phandelver, and was planning to run Forge of Fury and/or White Plume Mountain from Tales of Yawning portal and maybe some adventures from Candlekeep Mysteries or Radiant Citadel. Was actually looking forward to seeing what the Keys From the Golden Vault since the...

    Parachute Fund for WotC employees looking to leave

    The experience of Orion Black was the most detailed D&D 5E - Orion Black No Longer a D&D Designer [UPDATED!] I remember hearing similar stories coming out on the Magic side of wotc but am not as into that side to know names to look up. There's also been stories like dndbeyond employees having...

    Penny Arcade weigh in

    Agreed that the commentary following the comic is worth a read. I wasn't expect the penny-arcade folks to come out so strongly given their history with WOTC, though sounds like they don't have an ongoing deal for doing Acquisitions Inc (which itself is a little surprising to me and I think says...

    Not to put pressure on him, but a major factor is probably that Morrus is asleep

    The OGL -- Just What's Going On?

    I would suggest people not read too much into how they talk about it tonight since they now pre-record their shows and the D&D beyond plug is likely under contractual obligations. I'm not sure how far in advance the recordings are, but it's possible it was before the news even broke, and...

    OGL: What Are The Publishers Saying [UPDATED]

    I think they’re not too involved with the rpg side but with buying asmodee have definitely become a major player in general tabletop gaming. I’m more familiar with them being involved with a bunch of video game studios but they also have some other media too (big one being Dark Horse comics). I...

    OGL: Kobold Press 'Raising Our Flag' For New Open RPG

    Interested to see where this goes - by far the most 3rd party things I bought have been from Kobold press both during 4e days and since the switch to 5e

    D&D General Are you jumping ship? What will you be switching to?

    For now I suspect my group would rather stay with 5e and I plan to mainly rely on homebrew and 3rd party stuff I have or can continue to get depending on how the OGL situation goes. I Depending on how things shake out and what OGL-based things are able to stick around I think I'm looking at the...

    WotC non-OGL alternative to D&D

    They have a deal with OneBookShelf similar to the DMs Guild, but no open license as far as I'm aware. https://support.drivethrurpg.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037116592

    Stop telling me to boycott WotC. If you support open gaming, tell who to support. (+ thread)

    A few of the open systems I'm aware of Blades in the Dark - creative commons by attribution Mork Borg - uses own license that is basically saying you're free to use it as you want other than using actual art assets or making it seem like it's officially endorsed, as well as banning NFTs based on...

    RPG Freebies, Bundles, and Sales News (December 11, 2022)

    Since I find the mechanics clunky if I can ever convince my group to play Shadowrun I've thought I'd probably hack the Leverage Cortex rpg. I was surprised when I looked to see if anybody had already done the same thing and couldn't find anything as of a few years back. My simple thought was to...

    D&D 5E (2014) Roll20 content available on DMSGuild February 2023

    With the caveat that I haven't really used Fantasy Grounds - but my impression was it's able to import files from the user, so the things on DMs guild are just distributing those files and doesn't need anything from Fantasy Grounds' end. This seems to be more coupling DMs Guild with the Roll20...

    D&D 5E (2014) Pick an Archetype

    Artificer: If allowing 3rd party sources I'd go with the Forge Adept from Exploring Eberron, otherwise Armorer Barbarian: Ancestral Guardian, I like the flavor of connection to ancestry strengthening you. Bard: Swords - lends itself to kind of swashbuckler flavor I like when I play a bard...

    Modiphius' Conan TTRPG Is Ending

    You're the one that seems to be suggesting the French-based company with a French audience should alienate that fanbase by trying to compete for the American audience using a system they don't generally publish.
