    D&D 5E (2024) Building A Contemporary Fantasy Setting For 5.5E

    If you can't use the same classes and subclasses then it is not the standard D&D. For example you could play a campaign like the videogame "Dead Island" where barbarians and monks could be an useful class, but if the most of encounters are shootings with firearms then it can't be D&D. But the...

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    For legal effects there is a serious difference between "100% by AI" and "by a human artist with some help of AI". I have also found some news about a new novel about Joan d'Arc being retired because the cover was created by AI.

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    That is the reason because I suggest a new setting about chronomancers and alternate timelines. If there are oficcially several continuities then teorically the conflicts about canon should end.

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    I have been searching and there is an image created by AI that is protected by copyright, "A Single Piece of American Cheese" by Kent Keirsey, CEO of Invoke but because legally it was a "hybrid" work, a collaboration of AI and human artist. An artistic work could be protected by copyright if a...

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    If we consult Wikipedia or TV-Tropes, urban fantasy refers to contemporary urban environments. There was in the principle a UA article about "modern world". It seems the idea was cancelled or rejected. WotC has got its own Urban-Fantasy IPs, "Urban Arcana" and "Dark*Matter" (and Ravenloft...

    Wes Schneider Is the Product Lead for Ravenloft: The Horrors Within

    In the TTRPGs the creators can imagine their works in certain way, but after the players do it with their own style, and this is not wrong.

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Nentir Vale/Nerrath was designed intentionally to be a sandbox. If you wanted you could have add more planets in its wildspace. And it had got a lot of "Warcraft" vibes. I don't mean this was wrong but.. A new setting by professional creators can't be only a "theme park". It has to be source of...

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Alway there is space for new elements: playable species, subclasses, monsters, magic item, feats, spells.. and even a new setting. Maybe the key is a new setting for certain subgenre for example hopepunk and the recovery after the post-apocalype. They could try to take advantage of some of the...

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    That is like saying hero-shooter or beat-em videogames need less characters, or saying certain cinematographic studio needs less horror franchises. WotC is more focused into selling crunch but each new setting is a potentil subfranchise to sell different type of products. My suspicion is...

    Wes Schneider Is the Product Lead for Ravenloft: The Horrors Within

    If some players want Ravenloft to be action-horror then the client is always right. Maybe the influence of "World of Darkness" has been too strong for some players but the rejection shouldn't be the path. Ravenloft should allow the option of "monster" PCs who fight also against within darkness...

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    A right worldbuilding needs a lot of work but today players don't need to spend their money when they can read the fandom wikis about videogames, comics or novels. If WotC publishes a new setting, this will be not only for the TTRPG but mainly other type of products.

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Forgotten Realms is the superstar of the company but we should try to avoid an oversaturation to avoid boring the consumer Isn't "New Capenna" urban fantasy, and "Dark*Matter", a setting of d20 Modern? Today isekai and chuānyuè are very popular fantasy subgenre and WotC should seize the...

    RPG CROWDFUNDING NEWS – DnD Shorts, 7th Sea, Tunnels & Trolls, and more

    I admit that the third edition of 7th Sea has surprised me. Is it the same number of nations without changes of the geography? But I'm wary of that game because it may contain prejudices about other countries. But I wondered about a D&D title inspired in KPop Demon Hunters. I guess somebody...

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    An option to create a new setting could be recovering the chronomancers. The time dragons would be an independient and relatively neutral faction, and independient groups of chronomancer guilds could some times cooperate against a common enemy. To solve the possible risk the time paradoxes some...

    WotC Why WotC SHOULD Make A New Setting

    Hasbro has got experience in the fields of licences but now the business with Warner and Paramount could be a little complicated. A licence of "Pirates of Dark Waters" or "Wildfire" animate shows could be interesting. Here Warner could earn "brand powers" for those "dead IPs". If a "D&D...
