Generous Open Content makes games more inclusive. Allowing people access your rules for free makes the games far more open and welcoming than changing the color of your logo a few times a year and declaring "* is for everyone". Money is an enormous gatekeeper, after all. It also improves the...

It's weird, some classes like clerics have multiple printed classes while others don't. But those missing classes are still referenced in the text. It seems pretty sloppy for a SRD. The interesting thing is that it contains many of the classic creatures left behind while being released under the...

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic anyway.

The 3.5 SRD was reviewed more than 20 years ago. The PHB material didn't contain deities or XP charts, the DMG material didn't contain the planes or Red Wizards and the MM section didn't contain certain monsters like Beholders or Carrion Crawlers (that selection was somewhat weird). It was ready...

Did you use the English version or the translation by Amigo and later FuS? There were some attempts to release some German version of the magazines which contained content from both, but it wasn't successful if I recall correctly. The content of the magazines was a mixed bag. Some stuff from...

I'm not from the US either but from Germany, so it's probably more about having been around that era (or having done some research about it). I guess most American players who started with 5e don't know about it, either. Paizo was pretty much created to publish the Dragon and Dungeon Magazines...

Considering that Paizo did a lot of advertising for new D&D books in Dragon and published lots of adventures in Dungeon to run, they most likely did. Taking the magazines away from them wasn't a great idea.

I prefer a free resource site containing all the rules that I can refer potential players to, combined with a continuously updated character editor that offers most of each features for free with some requiring a one-time purchase to unlock. Both legal without any fear of legal actions against...

Why would I buy single pieces of rules when I can get them for free from a site supported by the publisher? WotC's relationship with the fans of its games is increasingly toxic, yet those fans keep crawling back, celebrating minor concessions as major victories. At this point people should just...

Pathfinder 2 allows you to play oldschool Megatron and transform into a gun.

That's Oblivion. It's from the end of the tutorial where you can redo your choices. Pathfinder's Magus class would be a good fit, The Duskblade from PHB2 is pretty similar.

A miserable little pile of bloodlines.

The Beginner Box has already been updated for the Remastered rules and ORC license. If you own it digitally, you can download the updated version from Paizo. It only goes to third level. The current Humble Pathfinder Bundle is still ongoing, so anyone interested can get the (Remastered) Beginner...

For D&D, the future is in live services. At least the future WotC Hasbro wants.

I guess I should be thankful for the whole OGL fiasco. Without it, I might not have Pathfinder 2 the chance it deserved.

I expect the game to be heavily monetized.

The OAR line by Goodman Games.

Great summary. For some reason I thought they were the newest incarnation of Super Genius Games / Rogue Genius Games who did some good stuff for Pathfinder and included authors of the original d20 Modern.

Any news on the 3rd edition SRD going CC? It's been nearly a year now.

There was also Dungeon Command as well as D&D branded Heroscape. And since Magic and D&D are now intermingled, Arena of the Planeswalkers might count, too (it even had unpainted minis in addition to the badly painted ones).
