I'd be nice if they made a showing at Dragon*Con.

 

[RobJN]

They finally remembered that cons are a thing

You keep using the word "compatible." Inigo doesn't think it means what WotC says it means.

Especially after "update core rules."

 

[Vaalingrade]

Ensure 'Backward Compatible' will be a millstone around the design teams' collective neck -- DONE.

"Review Previous Editions for Inclusion in Creative Commons."

Yes, please. And not just 3.0 and 3.5.

As a Canadian who lives in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area, not Grand Theft Auto, yes I've had to explain that to Americans before), this is exciting.

Also curious what we will learn at D&D Direct. Alittle surprised that a Wizard's Showcase isn't on that list for 2023 but that is likely out of respect for the MtG side who might not be ready for that kind of announcement.

Also interesting that we are already pretty far along with the PHB Playtesting.

We got most of the revised species done, some of the origins/backgrounds, feats, spells, and about half of the classes playtested (undoubtedly some of the classes will have new versions to playtest), although I think more of all of these are coming.

Really pleased that once they are checked for IP they want to exclude from CC, they will add more editions to the CC.

Now I'm derailed thinking about Grand Theft Canada, which presumably involves everyone apologizing to each other after carjackings and, when you get enough stars, Mounties chase after you on horses.

... I would play that.

So would I. I'd steal a truck filled with maple syrup.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice well I don't give second chances because I am no fool.

 

[Jolly Ruby]

They are saying "previous editions" instead of "previous SRDs". Am I reading too much, or is it possible that 4e and/or AD&D will be added to Creative Commons?
