I know, I've seen some of it. But I don't have the same enthusiasm for it like I did before.. Andor was great. I even liked Asoka despite not being a devoted Rebels guy, but I'm perfectly fine playing wait and see now and what little memorabilia I bother with is purely nostalgic stuff.
Is this with or without the use of magic?Have we given up on the central premise of the thread that EN World needs to liberate Dungeons & Dragons from Hasbro?
I think that's where we really should be taking things... start setting up and planning a Mission: Impossible-style heist into the Wizards of the Coast offices in Renton to grab all the D&D stuff from them and then fly it all out to Russ in England. Then and only then is D&D truly free. 9/10ths of the law and all that stuff.
I started with 1E. I love 5E and I’m GenX.
That is a good question... which means we first need to determine what exactly IS magic? Is 'magic' just a universal term for non-physics-based actions, and thus Psionic powers are considered 'magic'... or is it specifically those powers and spells that are powered by The Weave (as defined by the 5E14 Player's Handbook), in which case Psionics and many monster abilities are not 'magical' because despite not adhering to our real-world laws of physics, they are not pulling in energy directly from The Weave to power their functionalit--Is this with or without the use of magic?
Some time you do, if the marketing that works best on the old demographic is off putting to onboarding the new. Not say that this is an issue here but also remember that the old demographic has their game and material. As Gary pointed out many years ago, they do not really need more material. That said a lot of older material is available on DMsGuld or Drivethru but is not part of the general marketing.
Holy neon pastels.....
The official Dungeons and Dragons YouTube channel posted this. Apparently it’s a playmat they’re selling.
Dungeons & Dragons - Fall 2025 Pride Playmat
This playmat for Dungeons & Dragons features vibrant, full-color artwork by Ricardo Bessa. Made with a soft fabric top, playmats provide a safe gameplay surface, and a non-slip rubber backing keeps the playmat in place. With dimensions of approximately 24 in. x 13.5 in., a playmat also makes an...ultrapro.com
@GothmogIV, it’s a product they’re selling. There is a lot of money you can make selling products to the LGBTQ+ community. The fact that bigots online will post about it in outrage, giving WotC free marketing, is just a bonus.
Magic would make the dungeon raid at WoTC HQ go from being a Mission: Impossible to a Mission: Possible.That is a good question... which means we first need to determine what exactly IS magic?

--Aw crap, I did it again. Started a whole new tangent for us to argue over. Jeezus... we're NEVER going to liberate D&D at this rate!!! MY BAD! MY BAD!
First, we employ a team of Divination Wizards and Artificers to scope out where WoTC hides its' D&D stuff, both its' physical copies and their PDF equivalents. The Artificers can extract the PDFs from the WoTC mainframe. As for the physical copies, we then get to use some Conjuration Wizards to teleport in a team of Rogues and their multiple Bags of Holding...
