I have enough to do as GM and I am lazy. So yes I am all for the players doing the work......

Oh the couldn't restrain themselves and printed that "The World's Greatest Roleplaying Game" line even more prominent (an in colour to both) on the book. As a non native English speaker I am never sure if the talk about sales numbers or quality of the game here. This fist is correct the second...

There are some pointy shoulder pats instead..... ;) They kind of look ridiculous. Given that is a picture of a 5E wizard they actually should be somewhat more conservative with the magical stuff. Thanks to Concentration they can't have too much magical stuff at the same time going. Imho the...

Hell yes. There or at Hasbro. You don't terminate things in public like Larian just did if things didn't went very very wrong behind the scenes. We are talking about the loss of a ton of money here. For all involved. Larian, Hasbro and WotC. Depending on what else comes out there might be a...

Well I guess the Monetization of D&D will easily make up for the loss of that little potential game franchise.....;)

Game of the year. 10+ Millions of sales. Beloved by its player base. A license to print money...... Now maker of said game sounds pissed off, doesn't make make another game nor a DLC..... Sounds like some heads will roll somewhere because of staggering incompetence.

I feel the need to point out that if this is a twist to you then you played D&D way too long as this is very much not a Wizard Archetype but a D&D Trapping ..... ;) Not only in a ton of literature but in TTRPGs as well. It is a much of a D&D trapping as the Fighter are jocks trapping D&D never...

You are so not alone here. But this was always bound to happen. 4E did too many interesting things to not act as a treasure trove for RPG makers to plunder or take inspiration from. It only took some time for the pendulum to swing back.

Ok this class packets are seriously impressive when it comes to effort for a play test. This went from not really on my radar to I need to look deeper in this by sheer strength of presentation pretty fast. Edit: I think I can make a high level character with those things without even looking...

Still you can get it after a while as video game companies mostly get that its looks ludicrous trying to limit sale of digital goods. Those things never run out. It is one thing when in a crowdfunding there is a limited run of lets say miniatures that are only available as physical goods during...

Yes but with the important caveat that with Verschlimmbesserung you honestly try to make something better but end up worse in some ways. Here we are talking about making something worse with intention to milk out more money of your customer.

Oh and when that is done the next obvious step is to follow the Amazon Prime example. And make that $19.99 a month for all the D&D you want worse so that you pay $ 2,99 more per month to turn off the suddenly appearing obnoxious advertisements.....

Yes it is probably easier to use the alternative "platform decay" for translation. That would be "Platformverfall". Although enshitification sounds way better and is more honest as well..... :p Edit: Although how about "Verscheißbesserung"

Something I did write in anger (not one of my best reactions) after first reading that pre-order stuff and probably shouldn't translate. Although any dictionary probably can do it easily. Sigh the nearest translation would be a "Kiss my ass." Although directly translated from German to English...

"Pre-order only, this adventure won't be on D&D Beyond afterwards" A very German LMAA. How I loathe stuff like this.
