A lot of people who were introduced with 5E have no idea that you can homebrew anything, or that there are other games. And Hasbro does its best to keep them isolated and trapped in D&D Beyond; they don't even own their books.

So it really IS like a live service videogame and if the studio changes it, they're stuck.

Which is why I try to get people out of D&D right from the start.

I can't find this "Ubisoft lookin'-ass thing" on the site, but it really is that bad.

They want you to PAY MONEY to "create unlimited characters & encounters". They have DIGITAL GOLD DICE. Collectible miniatures locked to your account being online & paid up.

FUCK. THIS. SHIT.

If you play "D&D", go try Swords & Wizardry

or Basic Fantasy

Which are better, not scams, and cheap.

Dark Portents From The Wizard's Orb - Penny Arcade

Videogaming-related online strip by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins. Includes news and commentary.

Hat jemand hier was von #dndbegone mitbekommen?
Würde mich über eine kurze Zusammenfassung freuen, wie Hasbro DnDBeyond kaputt machen möchte neben dem Einstellen der Einzelkäufe für Monster, Subklassen, Feats, etc., dem Erhöhen der Abo-Kosten und dem Verbot zu Erstellen und Nutzen von Hombebrew-Content unterhalb eines gewissen Abo-Modells.

Wizards of the Coast/D&D studios is hemorrhaging money! Why are they sending expensive care packages around to their YouTube shills? Has WotC forgotten how to make a quality product at an affordable price? Is this the best they can do? #DnDBegone

Time to revive the #opendnd and #dndbegone hashtags. Hasbro has already done immense damage to #WotC with these sadistic Xmas layoffs, but their executives’ decisions over the course of this year should give the #ttrpg community no confidence in their plans for #DnD in 2024.
I'm annoyed there even were 1000 people at Hasbro to fire. Nothing needs to be that big to make shitty 5E books and Magic cards, which were FINE back in 1993. End corporate gaming! Fire everyone! FOR XMAS.

Fanboys: Oh yeah Hasbro's learned their lesson and are less evil now.
Hasbro: Hires the actual motherfucking Pinkertons to steal Magic cards from people at gunpoint.

I mean, good news is the Pinkertons didn't murder him and his family, which is their usual M.O., they just made his wife cry.

But do not give the Hasbros money, attention, or the basic respect of any living creature. Ever.
