Do I keep checking my email for @mtblack 's next newsletter? Yes.

Is it because I hope I'm in it? YES.

Is it because it's a great newsletter? Also yes!

@bedirthan @mtblack I know that feeling!

Why should you learn about other games even if you are only going to play #DnD

Because listing to @MasteringDnD review of Daggerheart helped me break my thoughts on how to break Alignment and TIBF in a way that amplifies roleplay and character personality.

@bedirthan @MasteringDnD Ooh? Now I want to know more. I really wish Dragonlance had leaned into alignment.

I think tonight’s #DnD game should be a lot of fun!

@bedirthan Not truly, but I wanted to really lean into it. Lots of fun!

I'm going to shoot my shot and submit samples for that DnDBeyond freelance gig

Alphastream,
@Alphastream@dice.camp avatar

@bedirthan Are they requesting samples now?

Alphastream,
@Alphastream@dice.camp avatar

@bedirthan I really don’t know. They really should have an actual call for writers with clear guidance. Provide examples that show your wheelhouse but also that you understand theirs. The recent Maps articles do a nice job of showing off platform benefits and DM tips.

@bedirthan @newbiedm Yeah, that one and one for Storm King.

It would be a great story if the data showed D&D the along a financial hit from the OGL. I’m a big fan of the community rising up.

But, the data does not show that. If anyone has an actual source beyond an ICv2 throwaway quote, I would love to hear it. Every chart and figure suggests no impact and D&D doing stronger than other industry segments in the post-pandemic period. The OGL debacle has had many impacts, but I don’t see a financial one.

Alphastream,

@dnddeutsch I did all my analysis yesterday, and I always look for an OGL angle, so I was surprised to see this claim by EN World. Looks like it comes from an ICv2 quote with no basis for it.

It's been a year since the OGL debacle and the Creator Summit. Touted as the first of many, will there be another? What has D&D accomplished and what remains to be done?

We're a single session from a grand finale in the current campaign. I've offered a half dozen ideas to the group for the next campaign.
The best response I've gotten so far is "I guess that's neat" from one player.
Time to ideate more.

@bedirthan Darn players! Outrageous.

What if CEO's could tell the truth? We pretend that's the case today, on Mastering Dungeons.

I had no idea Shawn would ask me to do this!

I just had to share this, from today's Alphastream / MD Discord discussion:

The end of a campaign is the perfect time to reflect on what we enjoyed, wish we had done, and hope to do in our next campaign.

Really interesting to see the changes to Daggerheart's playtest.

Seems to acknowledge the complexity and try to lessen it, but stays on course with the overall gameplay.

I have to say, as much as I complain about the Max and Paramount+ apps, it has made watching the NCAA Men's Basketball tournament really easy for this cable cutter.

@Tim_Eagon Still absurd you have to buy both to see the games.

Happy anniversary to Honor Among Thieves! What a fantastic D&D movie. I celebrated by framing and hanging up my movie poster!
