Yep, and part of that is intentional (and I'm sure opinions vary whether that is a good thing or bad thing). I remember Matt talking about being very clear with the cartoon writers that he wanted to keep the randomness of an actual D&D campaign in there. Sometimes things take weird turns and the...

You are not even the only one who said it, but some people simply enjoy complaining about CR. The topic always attracts them. There is usually better things to do than posting over and over in a thread about a show you don't even like, but to each their own. Like the vast majority of people who...

Almost like some people might pick a race based on things other than stat bonuses. ;)

By far, the things I have been most impressed with the Beadle & Grimm sets are their maps. They are highest quality ones I have come across in any RPG products. And then for a set of nicely re-usable generic locations like this and I'm sold!

She already said how much and what work was done by the team in the writing of the book. Multiple times. You want proof that what she is saying is true. Because if this corroborating evidence you keep asking for shows that what she is saying is not true, then... you want proof that she is not...

This makes no sense whatsoever. Are you asking if the lead member on that team who has posted about this is lying? And furthermore, that WotC thought they had an active role in the products but just recently realized they did not? So that is why they were originally credited and then the...

Not sure about poaching since at least the person who posted about this and led the team was laid off. Not sure about others but wouldn’t be surprised if others were laid off as well given how deep the last one cut. My personal armchair quarterback guess is some MBA who has never written a...

That's really too nice, and you definitely have my respect as well. Oh, but I think you missed this link to your content. ;) (It's worth sending people that way, so I'll post it again.) People should dig around to find more of your amazing work as well! Despite all of the drama that happened...

Matt, how many times do I have to repeat - do not ever speak for me. Andrew was the Project Lead. Throughout the entire process, he did all of the work a Project Lead would do. I 100% agree to the positioning that he was Project Lead. I only agreed to work on this specifically because he was...

My point still stands. Do not imply that you speak for me. You do not. Hopefully, Andrew and your lawyer can resolve this soon so that it can finally move forward.

As one of those contributors, do not publicly speak for me ever again. Couching it in "to the best of my awareness" when you have never even bothered to ask me is deliberately misleading. Speak only for yourself or for others who specifically ask you to. Do not ever speak for me. Andrew is...

CR was (at least) mentioned in some promotional meetings WotC had with various news outlets almost exactly a year ago. Articles from Polygon, IGN, etc. from May 23, 2023 pretty much all have references and quotes from Crawford along these lines. Might be other sources, but that's what I found...

If they were planning them to be the same length from the start and had some general concepts for layout early on, then likely very little was cut or fluffed. I find it very unlikely on such prominent releases that pretty much the entire team have been working on for quite a while that they...

The issue, as I see it, is that anyone remotely familiar with the 3.5 SRD already knows that there is no IP that needs removing (except from the PI declaration that will be removed anyway with the move to CC). So asking people to point out the IP is moot. Either they are familiar with the 3.5...

Kind of funny how "me and the people I personally know" tends to equal "everyone" in these sorts of discussions. :) Read through this thread. There are more than one counterexample to your "everyone." We all live in bubbles and one thing that is true of everyone... is that we all have no idea...
