OK, late to the party, but I just watched the video. If Vecna wants to become the sole god and remake the multiverse to his liking, wouldn't every other god or god-like being go after him with all of their combined and coordinated power in order to stop him? Or to put it another way, why would...

I have no idea how the industry is doing, but I personally have not used or purchased minis in quite a while.

Like I said in another thread, consumers have very high expectations for games like this now. The likelihood of it being as successful as BG3 is low. Furthermore, with all of these developers, the game may be built "by committee". Having too many cooks often spoils the broth.

The only monster I've re-lored was Dispater. I simply made him less paranoid and reclusive.

Right, it rewards Youtubers for covering popular topics.

The mention D&D most of the time because the YT algorithm essentially rewards them for it.

My guess is that they'll move the microtransactions to the VTT. Having the option to dress up your 3D token will be very appealing to many people.

Also, another thing to consider, is that some people might take personal offense if they see their preferred choice get down voted. If you decide to implement this poll type, I would make sure that an individual's choices aren't public.

Yes, I've seen this on other forums where a "senior" member starts a confrontation with a newbie, the newbie responds in kind, and gets banned or blocked despite the fact that it was the senior member who initiated the confrontation.

We typically hand wave the issue with a bag of holding, as long as it doesn't get ridiculous. So, if hauling out a quantity of gold (or an over sized item) would break of not fit into a BoH, the players have to specify how they'll get the treasure out of the dungeon.

I'm in favor of randomness. It adds variety, and may create new conditions that you have to work through, and provide a challenge.

After character creation, the gods have never come into play in any campaign I've been in or ran.

Yes they sell, but it seems like people have been dissatisfied with recent offerings. Scrapping the VTT would allow them to redirect funds for hiring more creatives. IMHO, after the "gee whiz" factor dies down, people will move to other VTT's that offer more flexibility, and cost less.

I would scrap the VTT and focus on WoTC earning a reputation for high quality adventures. By quality, I mean in depth cohesive and engaging adventures that don't force the DM to spend time filling in the gaps.

Despite her departure, I expect WoTC's view of the consumer, and business practices to remain largely the same.
