Bagel-Man

Keep up the great work PDM!

So...will this change the long term plan? Can Wizards afford to wait for the new edition and vtt to possibly right the sinking ship?

I'm guessing some of the beginning is "legalese". "I am not shorting the stock," "Don't take advice from a YouTube DM". Classic.

I thought there was something fishy about the Penguin arrangement, now it makes sense. I really don’t see how this can play out any other way than Hasbro going fully digital. I’ve talked to a lot of strict 5E players in my own gaming group (which has 80+ players) and they all seem to have blinkers on when it comes to this subject. But those same people also say they won’t pay a digital subscription, they’re happy to just keep playing 5E.

PDM, I really enjoyed this video and found myself nodding in agreement through almost all of it as it seems we agree far more than we disagree on many subjects. Sadly, I haven't been able to support as many independent creators as I would like to these days as the world seems to be in a bit of turmoil and don't really have as much time or expendable income as I used to. Never-the-less, I greatly appreciate all the time and work you put into these videos while managing your career and family. Also, look forward to the upcoming game review videos you mentioned. You never seem to disappoint.

I’m one who really likes to head what’s going on in the industry as a whole. Thanks.

As a (former?) programmer I have a sinking feeling their VTT will end up months or years late, too expensive, and/or not in tune with how the game playing public wants to use it. Which leaves D&D Beyond as their fallback; it's slick for what it does but still a little glitchy on some browsers. That, and the possibility of all Official D&D products being digital only (save for "special edition" PHBs and the like) really makes me wonder if Official D&D will still be around in any recognizable form in another decade or two ... or if DCC, OSE, Pathfinder, Black Flag, and Shadowdark will become the sole torchbearers for the D&D That Was. (And we all know about Shadowdark and torches ...)

Crown and Skull is intriguing and I look forward to your review. You should write a module based on Adventure. Players get powerful magic items, but they are taken away by a giant bat. Players of our age will spend a lot of time searching for the invisible dot. I still love that game. Thanks for another insightful video.

I always have mixed feelings about companies struggling. I have no love for the execs that make poor choices - but I always feel for the worker bees.

Bryan Stephens

We do so much in our heads when we do use a VTT. We all prefer around the table.

Told you two years ago to short Hasbro stock after WOTC put THACO the Clown into an official product. That was a neon sign brightly proclaiming that senior leadership was unprofessional and had poor judgement.
