The first thing the DMG says before you even open the book is to entertain your players. Not be a master of tactics or rules. Entertain—so what does that mean to you and your group? Figure that out, and you’re 90% done with learning the DMing gig! #dnd

Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks ran WOTC before he was promoted. He was intimately familiar with dnd, the OGL, and…us, the community. The idea that these decisions are made by people who don’t understand the product is BS. He understands it very well. He ran it. He just doesn’t give AF.

I think the saddest part of all of this is that WOTC had no reason to do this, they had no reason to see 3pp as competition in the marketplace. 3PP are additive. They are complementary But once they spent $146 million on Beyond, we should have seen this coming—it’s a big spend.

Actually, the game should be called “Try to get 5 adults together for 4 hours at the same time”. Arguably the game’s biggest challenge. 😂

It's called Dungeons and Dragons, but the name suggests a balance between the two that does not accurately reflect the game. In my experience there are far more dungeons than dragons, no where near the 1:1 ratio the name suggest. It should be DUNGEONS! and occasionally, dragons

These games are not set in the middle ages, don’t reflect the real world, don’t simulate anything. These are fantasy worlds, and as such you are free to set the tone of these fantasy worlds any way you want. Don’t let the “but this is how it was back then” bullshit set the tone.
