While I understand people outraged over AI in art (I am too), we can hold companies to reasonable policies and allow for reasonable setbacks. If I had $1 for every time a coworker assured me something was one way, and then it was another way… I could work full time in RPGs.

D&D 5E’s Top-Selling Adventures and What It Means for the Hobby!

adventures historically don’t sell well. 5E has tried several approaches. Let’s take a look at 5E adventure sales in the BookScan data.

Pact Familiar is the best spell in the history of spells. I will not be taking Flumph questions at this time.

Went for a long walk in the woods. Couldn’t help but ponder the DMG Wilderness section, which we discuss this week on @MasteringDnD !

Does anyone know of other than Fate/Blades/D&D that are Creative Commons and allow commercial use?

I'm finding lots of CC-BY-NC, but few that are commercial. Thanks!

How often do you use specific challenge levels in 5E?

I have a poll up on YT: https://www.youtube.com/@AlphastreamRPG/community

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.

Apparently he’s a gnome, and it’s due to a reincarnation spell. 🤷🏽‍♂️

It’s not every town where, the day you arrive, they just happen to be holding a crossbow competition. I love towns in Italy.

And now, playing a game where I hear my character is in grave danger…

Providing D&D to hundreds of players is fun, and also exhausting! The number of folks wanting to try D&D is incredibly high. The movie, Baldur’s Gate, their friends’ recommendation, lots of reasons. We could have 2x DMs and not fill up.

For now, I am one of these!
