Actually, I always thought the opposite. With licensing to fantasy grounds, foundry, and roll20 WotC was getting checks in the mail without having to pay developers or deal with customers. That seems like the dream scenario. Bringing that all in-house perplexed me.

Unless they offer a one time payment option, all assets exist locally, and local hosting is allowed this whole thing is a non starter for me. The reason I went with Fantasy Grounds as my virtual tabletop of choice is that even if the company became a smoldering crater tomorrow I could keep...

Interesting that there’s no critical role

Having been through the painful experience of running multiple WOTC published adventures, I wouldn't mind having an AI tool I could ask how tall the ceiling are in a room in a dungeon so I don't have to flip through 200 pages to find the one place where it's mentioned.

Thank them for giving you the plot for your campaign. Wars of the Roses - Wikipedia

This isn’t going to happen. In addition to the companies listed, this would cut off darrington press. After all the work wotc has done to help build the brand, they’re not going to alienate Critical Role. On top of that, darrington has already moved into the board game market. The next...

Salvage Operation from Saltmarsh has a nice flow and a great finale.

If you'll allow me to stick to wotc adventures here's the problems that are consistent with all of them going all the way back to the starter set. Organization. Pertinent information for a map location (room size, illumination, etc.) is mentioned on the first (or sometimes second!) page of...

Based on having run some of the WotC published adventures, I think they believe the DM should always be required to do a lot of prep.

I think one great thing that came out of Explorers Guide was a unique magic type with its own spells attached to it. With the direction that Spelljammer seems to be going, I think it would be awesome if each setting had its own unique magic and spells (and a mechanic through which the players...

if the goal was to make the monster easier to run, why didn’t WotC go with a simplified (or basic) and complex (or advanced)? Some of the comments here have been that the DM can add whatever they want. But wouldn’t it require less prep to just know what the preferred deletions are?

Yeah, The Monsters Know What They're Doing is probably one of the best DM aids out there.

Oookay. Personally, if I was going to attack my own argument l would focus on the assertion that content is now being purchased more for play than for reading. I think this is true, but unlike the rest of my argument I don’t really have evidence to back it up. I wouldn’t mind getting a read...

Just because they have the data does not mean their interpretation is correct. On what evidence are you basing your assertion that WoTC is making the right changes for the game?

I apologize if this is long winded, but I've been thinking about this stat block thing for a while and feel it's a symptom of a larger problem at WOTC. I don't think they really know who their audience is. Way back in 2014, WOTC released 5e based on a not so great reaction to 4e (and the...
