SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Outside of this forum, what is the reception of OneD&D looking like so far?

Took a look over at ENWorld.  The first couple pages of newest threads don't seem to be related to the new edition.  I would think that if any place had some hype, it'd be there.

I checked just now - "Jeremy Crawford gives update on new Unearthed Arcana" was the only 6e related thread on the first page of threads, yup.

It is bad.

At least this is my impression over Reddit.

They burned all goodwill with the OGL fiasco, then pinkertons.

The new rules are hit and miss; the game is getting more complex, and I don't think it is fully 5e compatible.

Personally, I stopped playing (and publishing for) 5e altogether.

But I'm sure there are enough people out there that have no clue about that and will buy things because they say "D&D" on the cover.


Pinkertons.....  I can't believe they sent security guards after someone.  What a joke.  I would have laughed, at that silly mess.  All they can do; is look, listen, read, ask questions, and fill out a report.  You know, like any other person on earth.

Except they did not just do that. They walked off with the persons MTG stuff, think only the product in question. But they still confiscated material on the spot.

I think that the real backlash will come if they cut off 5e on Beyond to try and force everyone to fork out all over again. They did that when Multiverse came out so there is no reason to think they will not do it again.

They would have left.  They wouldn't have confiscated a damn thing, from me.  They are just security guards.  Security guards, have zero authority on your private property.  He could have told them to go suck off a donkey.  There wouldn't have been a damn thing, they could have done about it.  They could file a report.  "Subject told us to go suck off a donkey.  It really hurt our feelings.  I think Joe may quit, now."

If you want people who actually comply with the Law, you don't hire the Pinkertons! It seems very likely from the account that they did several illegal things in the interaction; not just verbal threats & physical intimidation, but also forcing their way in to the dwelling.

The forced entry into the home by non law enforcement individuals is a flat out home invasion. If it had been my home they would have been shot.
