Did that in my post on the 10th and have two more posts over there now. Don't know if those came from here or not though.

All you can do is wait and share the link with interested parties. It can take time for a buzz to start. The Monster Manual isn't even out yet, much less the DMG. It may take time to get people interested in the edition... I wasn't happy with the PHB but I'm going to look at the remaining cores before deciding whether to run it or not. The module they released is good though, so even if I don't run their new edition the modules released might be salvageable for Pathfinder at the very least.

I threw in my 2 cents at the WOTC forums. Why in the world is there a troll/apologist in that thread arguing against using character creation software? Like does it make his game worse if HeroLab adds 5e support? Say your peace then bow out of the thread. Here's hoping WolfLair makes some headway since they actually have a track record of delivering.

All forums are that way. Facebook, comment boards, etc. Ive even seen some of it on these boards, albeit to a lesser degree.
Its been that way since eternal september, and its gets worse every year. |

I wish I was better at building my own files because I suspect WotC will not allow Lone Wolf to do it. :-(

It's been discussed already, but the fear by most is that WotC won't allow YOU to do it either... well, you could, but most are afraid to share it with the community, for fear of big-daddy hasbro's law team. To make an entire game system just for your own use would be a LOT of effort and not worth it.

Also, keep in mind that the feat selection is small because its optional rules. The concept of D&D 5e is to keep things simple. Whether you like that concept or not (i myself havent decided on that), thats the concept.
Open licenses help the game overall, but keep in mind they dont always help the game company. Many publishers out there, many with succesful games dont do open licenses for that reason entirely. It worked very well for Wizards originally, but then in the long run, it hurt them. It was good for us as players of course. Last edited by mirtos; September 24th, 2014 at 05:48 AM. |
