It leads to Narnia, right? I'm pretty sure my daughter watched that clip a few times before she got hooked on Phineas and Ferb. There is a "toilet paper" joke here, but I'm not going to go there...

Great post and potentially an interesting discussion. My only criticism is that it’s way too early on a Monday for something this deep. :LOL: /kidding - just in case it wasn’t clear

Great post and thread. I’d like to add a few thoughts here: 1. I think it really depends on the IP and much freedom it gives you to create your own story. Star Wars is a great example here because it is such a large universe to play in across various time frames and (now) two continuities. A...

Paradox Grand Strategy games really wouldn't work for TTRPGs. But they could be a great way to generate a setting for a TTRPG, especially if you want a random universe for a sci-fi setting (complete with unique aliens) or alt-history...

I don't want to give WOTC money, but throw in a Brothers War book, a Weatherlight Saga/1st Phyrexian War Book, and content for Serra's Realm and Homelands, and I'd happily buy it all...

An Ice Age era Dominaria book would be awesome. I’d definitely want some stats for Kjeldoran Skyknights

I’d second/thirded the Dominaria books. It is such a big world with a lot of lore that could be useful for any campaign. An Urza’s War and first Phyrexian War would make nice settings as well. A Mirrodin/New Phyrexia sourcebook would be relevant right now. Edit: Forgot to include Tarkir...

I almost feel like we watched a corporate civil war play out with the 3PP and fans/gamers/public as pawns for the side that won.

I had to double check to make sure today isn’t April 1st. This is HUGE! I barely believe that they walked back the OGL changes. Releasing the entire SRD into CC is…well, I hardly believe it.

Having a ton of developers can actually make things slower. I’m not sure if you’re familiar with “The Mythical Man-Month.” I’m going to paraphrase a little here, but it was basically a software engineering case study that came out of IBM, and it showed that throwing developers at a software...

Sunk cost fallacy is a great way to destroy a brand or business. Edit: Not saying it will do either. It’s just that this kind of decision-making doesn’t turn out well for the business that refuses to cut its losses on a bad decision

A lot of the mobile games are also ad-supported and have some sort of advertising everywhere, including ad-based micro transactions where you get something for watching an ad instead of handing over money. I know the one slide people were throwing around was fake. But I think it also came up...

I can see what Hasbro is trying to do. Yeah, they want to create a virtual D&D experience that they can monetize. But I don’t share his pessimism. They can try to create that VTT experience, but it will be hard to get parents onboard with a hobby that costs $30/month per person. I’m new to...

I think that’s what Pathfinder Infinite is

Not sure about any WOTC products specifically. I’m still figuring out which of the previous releases I want to buy by checking them out from my local library. I am interested in the Elementalist book for PF2e that is scheduled for August. And two kickstarters - the Psionics kickstarter and...

So this FAQ makes the OGL read like a copyleft license.

Can we add a “Maybe” option to the poll? This sounds fascinating. But I guess I’d have to see a sample or get more details before I give a hard yes. One thing that I would really like out of something like this is the cultures, histories, and politics/enemies of a particular region more than...

Only if they hired the Impossible Missions Force to produce them. This 5e content will self destruct in…

This draft…isn’t as bad as I thought it would be. If they had led with this (and opened it for discussion and feedback instead of what they tried to do), it probably would have resulted in a massive shrug instead of “torches and pitchforks, storm the castle, etc” that we had. That it took 3...

WotC/Hasbro Lawyers: We found our loophole, the whole contract is invalid. /kidding
