Unpacking a whole lot of data around #dungeonsanddragons
Last week I wasn't expecting to study the implosion of the Dungeons & Dragons brand owned by Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro Gaming.

As a company Wizards of the Coast did over a billion dollars in revenue last year.
After one week of brand damage millions of dollars have been shaved off this revenue and it appears to be getting worse day by day. It will likely evolve into double-digit percentages.

Just on Youtube there were 500+ videos covering the topic this week. Fan creators and influencers generated over 10M views across hundreds of videos that generated millions of hours of view time and 110K+ comments spreading to every other platform.
Last week, @Gizmodo's @lincodega caught a killer scoop - a leake Hasbro's plan to revoke the decades-old #OpenGamingLicense, which subsidiary @Wizards promulgated as an allegedly #open sandbox for people seeking to extend #DungeonsAndDragons:

The report set off a shitstorm among #DandD fans and the broader #TTRPG community - not just because it was evidence of yet more #enshittification of D&D by a faceless corporate monopolist, but because Hasbro was seemingly poised to take back a #commons. 2/
Not every challenge is a skeleton with a rusty spear- Trap Filled Dungeon! An 8-phased battlemap where each room is chock-full of dangerous challenges. Each is treated as its own micro-phased map so the Dm can reset the phases!

#dungeonsanddragons #onednd @inkarnaterpg
Very happy with this map! It's an 8-phased romp through a collection of classic dungeon traps and tropes. I wanted to give something new a try- this map is meant to be played as kind of a series of small encounters-
@inkarnaterpg each room you enter the Dm should hide the other rooms and run all 8 phases in that room! Like a bunch of smaller contained phased maps!

It looks like there is an elk or a stag on Michelle Rodriguez’s chest, suggesting she might be a member of one of the Elk tribes (either Uthgardt or Reghedmen).

Finally, the names for the #DnDMovie characters!
Pine: Edgin Darvis
Rodriguez: Holga Kilgor
Smith: a half-elf named Simon
Lillis: a tiefling named Dorig
Grant: Forge Fitzwilliam, new Lord of Neverwinter

Holga was booted from her tribe for falling in love with a non-tribe member, before their relationship went south.
Dexter Fletcher, 2021: "Malamun, he's called. I am Michelle Rodriguez's ex-husband. I'm really diminutive, I've got a very tall wife. I had a big beard."

Alright, what've we got? Neverwinter! There's Castle Never in the middle and a new coliseum opposite. Then a nice plaza in Neverwinter with banners for the Highsun Games we translated earlier.

The party finds a magic helmet in an underground chamber surrounded by statues, maybe gray dwarves or deep gnomes. The mechanical chest holding the helmet is covered in Dethek runes that appear to explain how to open the box. Handy!
Thanks to @IGN at San Diego Comic-Con and the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Tavern Experience, we have our first full looks at the stars of the movie in costume! We'll gather some of the best looks below.

@IGN Regé-Jean Page is playing a paladin. The symbol on his noggin seems an awful lot like the eye of Neverwinter Nights. A member of the Neverwinter Nine, maybe?

Lady Eagleshield has become a very fun NPC in my home #dnd5e campaign. Tonight she will be giving my players this silhouette portrait so they can keep her close. Thanks again for bringing her into existence @TheEdVerse ! Link to make this 👇

As an NPC, I like playing her as a mixture of between Julia Child and Foster Florence Jenkins. Most people know Julia Child, but may not know Foster Florence Jenkins, in which case I suggest watching this fun film

1/ Let’s make a #dnd prop! This is a Waterdeep almanac that I designed over a month (with @TheEdVerse providing some #realmslore via Twitter responses 🙏 Ed!). I’ll link the file in the 🧵. This almanac is a beast with 20 pages. #dungeonsanddragons
2/ my goal with this 🧵 is to assemble one of these in real time, sharing all of the steps and equipment that I use. But first, a little bit about the almanac. It can be hard to get a clear picture of how this looks, so here is a video
#dnd #dungeonsanddragons
#dnd #dungeonsanddragons
3/ this almanac draws on several sources, the first of which is early printed almanacs (which were bestsellers, second only to the Bible). Thankfully many of these can be found digitized online.
I am planning a #DND5e campaign. The following thread contains excerpts of my notes as I plan. Maybe once we play I'll tweet updates about how things actually happen. And then share this twitter account with the players at the end. Could be tedious, but could be fun?
I'll have plenty of time to define the macguffins later.
Planned from the start. Unless I change my mind later.

Our Dungeon Master will be none other than the awesomely talented @nerdytattooer Chad Rowe!
The shop-hand with an edge, Dara Darksbane, (Half-Elf, Paladin) will be played by the incredible Kassidy Norman!
Okay, so maybe some unpopular things I'm about to say about #dnd5e and #pathfinder2e . This is just from my experience and I wonder how other people feel.
The first game I played in was in 2016, it was Pathfinder and it was being run by a World of Warcraft Guildmate. My wife and I joined and it was a terrible experience. He was a bully, allowed the experienced players take advantage of us.
The rules changed depending on who did what. The Ranger grabs my Halfling Bard, puts him on the bar counter and forces a bottle of mead down my throat - that's fine. I try to defend myself, but the checks I was trying to do were not allowed.
Make sure to read the rules on the img! This is NOT by any circumstance, an *N*F*T* selling, I do not condone that type of purchase or sale. #dnd #OC #adoptable #art #digitalart #faun #satyr #characterdesign #dungeonsanddragons #witch

We start the journey off with Innie, Regina, and Snapshot. They are traveling down Tri Bor Trail to deliver oil to Barduth for Gundrid Rockseeker. Jane went off and head of our group with Gundrid and Sildar.
As the group came upon two dead horses full of arrows, they slowed their cart to a halt. Snapshot goes to the horses and collects the arrows from them, but as he is moving that way the see four goblins hiding in the forest.
Se me ocurrió hacer un hilo sobre #dungeonsanddragons (D&D /#DnD), su historia por encima y su resurgimiento de los últimos años. Así que acá esta.
¿Qué es? Es un juego de rol, como Final Fantasy, Fallout, Dark Souls, Diablo y así, pero es de mesa. Realmente solo se necesitan dados, lápiz, papel, ganas y bastante:
La primera edición, conocida como D&D Orinal, salió al mercado en 1974 publicada por la compañía Tactical Studies Rules (TSR). En el 77 la segunda edición digamos que se dividió en 2, la continuación donde el juego se vendía por sets y Advance D&D...
Okay, so this one's for #dungeonsanddragons people. Back in the early 2000's @Wizards_DnD released a revised version of Chainmail, with a focus on various factions fighting over the magical armaments of a slain War God. It was kind of set on Oerth, from the Greyhawk books.
Does anyone know if there was ever any sort of adaptation of the lore/story of that version of Chainmail to D&D 3rd Edition rules? I've been looking for it for years but can't find anything.
boardgamegeek.com/image/43653/du… This is the version I'm talking about
WotC's statements about equity in #DnD rings hollow for me for so many reasons. For one, they are still profiting off of Oriental Adventures and other harmful supplements. When you buy this, you show them that you are ok with Asian people being represented by blatant stereotypes.
You show consumers that these legacy products are to be consumed. They aren't.
What if someone looks to the optional "Honour" rules found in the 5e DMG or inquires about the "cultures" of Kara-Tur mentioned in the PHB?
Kara-Tur is still being sold and this is a PROBLEM.

If you disagree, you have clearly never had a piece of pop culture harm you. Books like this take my culture, oversimplify the nuances that make it beautiful, mash it together with other cultural reductions, and present it as THE WAY others should view our stories.
I just introduced my family to the magic of D&D! Highlights from our first session include:
Dad (Cleric) - "Pelor and I got into an argument and we aren't friends anymore. He's holding me back at level 1. I'm not talking to him until he apologizes."

He's basically playing the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding.

My mom (@YogaMom8) is playing Lao "Long Sky" Min, a traveling folk hero who helps anyone in need.
The party encountered a dwarf affected by a terrible curse.
Mom - "This whole time, I've been carrying a jug of my special soup. Goji berries have some magical properties!"

If there's one good thing to come out of quarantine, it's that my family is FINALLY willing to let me run a virtual D&D game for them. When I asked my mom about her character idea she said, "I want to be Ip Man, but also really good at cooking". #dungeonsanddragons
My dad said, "I want to be a senior supervisor at a Nuclear power station" (his old job that he retired from YEARS ago).
UPDATE: My dad has pivoted to being "some sort of magical healer".
