This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

D&D Encounters - No longer free to run

"Pay for play" is ridiculous. I am not a huge fan of organized play, and I think focusing on it, designing D&D with organized play in mind, had its hand in weakening the appeal of the game over time. But the solution to this, in my mind, isn't to kill organized play altogether, or to make it even worse by imposing some form of subscription model to it. I don't understand what WotC is thinking.

Quote from: Bill;685350If they were turned off by paying for one game, they probably changed to a different game they already had or simply changed to one that was free.

Never underestimate the power of spite. The world is not ran by any one logic.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.
