My perception is that WotC/Hasbro enjoy the benefit of a leniency from the community that would not be extended to other companies for doing even one of thing things people have claimed be upset about online. Some of that comes from brand identity. At a certain point, people become accustomed...

I think focusing on the OGL is too small of a view. Yes, it was a contentious issue, but it was only one piece in a string of questionable decisions that fumbled the brand. At roughly the same point in time, D&D brand had a best selling video game, a critically acclaimed TV show featuring the...

I prefer medium rare if at home and grilling it myself, but I usual order medium if at a restaurant.

I've never heard of putting cheese on apple pie. Now that I have, that will be a defining trait of the next villain. It's not quite as egregious as people who put raisins in macaroni (or potato) salad, but I'm sure that my players would still hate it.

I was recently at a tavern in Florida, at which you would be asked to leave if you spent too much time on your phone while sitting at the bar. It's great that I have a supercomputer in my pocket, but I also greatly appreciate that there are spaces available to escape the constant barrage of...

Speaking only for myself, the scanning -assuming it works at all- adds too many extra steps to something that is already simple, and the 'reward' or 'benefit' is rarely enough to make those extra steps worth it. Then, if there's an issue (which, often, I have found that there is) extra steps...

There's nothing impractical about not using a phone for D&D, if that is the preferred experience of a person. Sure 🤷‍♂️ That wasn't my position. While, personally, I am not opposed to digital tools, "Enhanced" is subjective. Supposedly, it's better for me that some restaurants have me scan a...

Not wanting to be distracted ≠ not wanting to use a phone to play D&D That's kinda cool. Some people don't use maps. It's not a question of technology, it's a question of willpower.

Anecdotally, I know more than a few people who enjoy D&D because it's one of the few experiences left that put them in a room with other people and away from being surrounded by screens and algorithms. So, for at least some portion of the audience, it's not that they don't have access to a...

There's a Backetkit project for Goodman Games for adventures based upon pinball machines. Someone upthread mentioned "barcades." My perception may be skewed due to traveling a lot, but it does seem that more places like that are popping up. Aside from Arcade Monsters (in Orlando,) I've also...

It was a lot of fun. I played it at the Arcade Monsters location in that area.

Is that the one with the Red Dragon? I just played that in Orlando a few weeks ago.

I agree with a lot of this. In the past 2-3 years, I've played a wider selection of games. I think the last time I played D&D was during the Covid lockdowns.

Something based on Genndry Tartakovsky's Primal would be cool. I could see it being done as a game similar to the old Golden Axe series, but updated to more modern gameplay.

I'm not interested in whataboutism either. I simply thought it would get more attention based upon the energy given to similar things. I agree that it's not in any way surprising to learn that Magic is being used to prop up the company. I was, however, surprised at the allegations of "fraud."...

I understand the idea that terms can be used differently. (A lot of contemporary disagreements about sex and gender are often because of two very different ways of using those words.) However, in the case of "racism," it already has pretty specific definition as a subset of prejudice. My...

Has there been a date given for the revised Core Set?

True, but it does potentially impact the products. Also, given that members of the community show an interest in calling out what is perceived as bad behavior on the part of gaming companies, I had thought allegations of fraud and allegations of intentionally ruining the product would garner...
