I create lots of things for So77 that aren't exactly maps but are along the same lines (like handouts) that I would love to share. I have a friend who does nutty things for his Traveler games, laminated ID cards, travel papers and even starship paychecks.

Ratpick posted:I just saw the third Hobbit film and while it was ultimately mediocre in my opinion it was well worth watching simply for all the fantasy medieval warfare porn. Motherfucking dwarves riding goddamn wargoats and pigs! I wish the whole movie had just been dwarf Billy Connolly cruising around the countryside on his big war boar kicking all the rear end.

From my understanding many/most of the internal champions of 4e left WotC for greener pastures not long after it was released. There was also apparently a huge suite of digital tools that were developed (at a great cost) but never released to the public because WotC couldn't figure out a viable way to monetize them.

Kai Tave posted:4E was in a much different position. There was no comeback narrative, the OSR and Pathfinder were both in full swing, the d20 bubble had burst and a lot of designers, publishers, and even players had gotten tired of D&D and were looking for something new. I doubt it was the failure that a lot of people desperately want it to be, but I don't have any trouble believing that it wasn't the huge splash that 3E was. That's more due to the circumstances surrounding it than anything to do with its quality as a game though, and I'm highly skeptical that Next is going to fare any better in that regard. See, my experience (which I realize is anecdotal ) was that when 4E came out DnD and specifically 3E was no longer relevant. People weren't playing fantasy tabletop RPGs much at all. I knew zero people playing DnD at the time, and when 4E hit the shelves suddenly everyone was playing, tons of new players who had never played before were getting in on the game. I participated in multiple 4E games that had 9+ players because so many people wanted to play. I feel like 4E made DnD relevant again, and then Pathfinder rode in and stole a lot of that enthusiasm when WotC failed to keep the momentum going.

I do believe that we're in a mini-golden age of tabletop gaming. Desktop publishing, online distribution, print on demand and social media are allowing people to make and promote games that would have never seen an audience before. Geeky hobbies are much more mainstream today and the audience is more diverse than it has ever been in the past. DnD lost it's grip on the hobby once before, in the 2nd ed years before WotC bought TSR a slew of other games filled store shelves, Vampire, Shadowrun, Rifts, to name a few. Maybe we'll get back to that kind of diversity in the market again.
