D&D (2024) 2024 is out...and yet.....where are the threads?

[Scribe]

Gatekeeping this valuable community resource feels ethically problematic.

Not in the least, and its this kind of stuff that does actual damage in the real world.

But yes, you did. And then you decided to use insults rather than stand behind your own words.

Mod Note:
Are you looking to get removed from the discussion?

If yes, then by all means, keep making this personal.
It not, maybe check that impulse at the door, hm?

That goes for everyone, btw. Don't make it personal. Maybe even actively try to avoid insulting people more than usual. Thanks.

WotC is fine. I assume WotC intended for the influencers to make the Players Handbook content known.

It is the influencers who seem to "hide the ball" when talking "about" the Players Handbook. They force D&D players to rely on them personally and only access partially what they happen to care about. There are exceptions, such as @SlyFlourish. And negotiable considerations: such as Treantmonk who has laser focus on the 2024 mechanics, and who does quote the mechanics verbatim and comprehensively when analyzing them.

But, if D&D Shorts would forgive me: If WotC was doing what he is doing, namely turning the D&D tradition into a walled garden behind a paywall ... would he really not critique WotC for this behavior? And yes, it is for a limited time, until the book is widely available − even a CC SRD! But still.

These people are not at your service. They have absolutely no moral obligation to provide you with any content whatsoever, let alone the particular content that would suit your personal needs.

They have businesses to run which rely upon releasing videos over a steady schedule. It's how they make their money, and they are not obliged to put themselves massively out of pocket by dumping all of that content on the first day of release.

Even for ENWorld, this thread is filled with some truly amazing content. Wowsers.

You should see what we are going to release next week once the algorithms reset!

A very limited number of books are out. Not general releases.

And the video that described all the nitty details have all be taken down after half a day. So we can't reference them.

Why did this happen?

I don't believe it did. This thread is based on nonsense.

I just checked Morrus's thread collecting reviews and the first 5 video links worked.
