VikingofRock posted:Paizo just announced their plans: they are releasing a new license, the Open RPG Creative License ("ORC"), under which they will publish future work. They are working with other TTRPG makers to make this license, including Kobold Press, Chaosium, Legendary Games, Rogue Genius, and Green Ronin. This license will be owned by an organization which has a history of managing open licenses, and they floated the Linux foundation as a possibility. Yeah, honestly going to be really funny when it works out and none of the Hasbro executives can quite understand what happened

FishFood posted:The Pathfinder Adventure Path is kind of like a very-thick magazine and is basically a successor to Paizo's old version of Dungeon magazine. The bulk of it is devoted to that month's adventure, but there's always a couple of articles that give a deep dive into parts of the setting, monsters, etc. It's the most subscriptiony thing they offer but it's still pretty substantial. This looks cool as hell. Monthly curated campaigns that slowly get put out to a theme seems like a really smart "subscription" service I think Hasbro execs are seeing this stuff and not realizing they need to actually put the work into cranking out monthly content to charge for it.

Cycloneman posted:By this reading, Paizo, Kobold Press, etc, can just infinitely publish new material under 1.0a, since they have a perpetual license. Indeed, anybody who used 1.0a, even somebody who did it just now, can use OGL 1.0a perpetually. Is this what ultimately brings in a court case?

Dnd will be fine for a long time. If anything's going to collapse Hasbro/wizards it will be do to over-monitization of magic. There's a lot more cardgames, boardgames etc pulling attention away from it lately and you can only burn so many bridges before people stop putting money into it. I know I played as a kid pretty heavily and wouldn't ever suggest it to mine nowadays with how they've ramped up monetisation. I imagine there's a lot of people like me out there who feel the same and mtg relies on new generations being pumped into the ecosystem Now that said, funkopops have never been doing better and seem to follow the same sort of model so what do I know...

CitizenKeen posted:I don't think Magic can really fail. I think you need something to take the throne. Magic sits on a throne built from the bodies of failed pretenders. Weirdly I think for a lot of people it fills the same void as a good boardgame etc. It's not that another cardgame will necessarily dethrone it so much as young nerds will go play boardgames, videogames etc instead. Especially when the costs are a few decks vs a console, stack of solid boardgames, etc. I think a parent is more likely to throw a deck of pokemon cards etc at their kid than ever get them into magic nowadays. I was really hoping lcgs etc overtook ccg's, but the community angle is always going to be really difficult to overcome vs magic/pokemon/etc. TheDiceMustRoll posted:Didnt they just have to dump millions of dollars of unsold product in a landfill three weeks ago $30million getting shredded because of overstock at warehouses w00tmonger fucked around with this message at 17:52 on May 9, 2023 |

Best cardgame ive played In ages is still keyforge and I really hope it makes a comeback post covid. Richard Garfield "deck builder" where the decks are randomly enerated by a computer before theyre even packaged and you aren't allowed to modify them. Reaaaaly cool discovery process trying out a new deck. Because you can't modify the deck it lets them make some really busted rear end cards that you couldn't get away with with a traditional deck builder

Kalman posted:So it’s a deck builder where you can’t build your deck and where money can completely buy wins because decks aren’t balanced with one another? I bought a dozen or so decks to play with my wife and it ends up working weirdly enough. nothings perfectly balanced, but balanced enough to make it more about finding what a deck does well the format for local store's was more or less buying a deck for the night for $10 which is super reasonable vs showing up with a $500 net-deck like magic Didn't know about the algorithm issue, that's nuts/amazing

Keyforge getting hacked/whatever and beginning to pick upstream right as covid hit sucked. Legitimately one of the best card game experiences I've hasa really nice back and forth, and it dodges the issue the magic has where some rich nerds spend $500 to net-deck and win a bunch of events.

Magic is definitely on my death watchlist, but I'm really not psychic enough to know if it's going to be a year, or 10. Hasbro does not give a poo poo about its longevity, and it seems to be sliding into the realm of Funko pops more everytime I look at it. As per usual, the 1 thing it has going for it is that it's everywhere, and rich nerds are happy to throw money at it. I played a stack of magic as a kid, and would get my kids into it if the business model weren't such a cash grab. Maybe I'll just proxy a big cube one day w00tmonger fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Jan 8, 2024 |

Foolster41 posted:I used to collect heroclix, I really liked the game, and was collecting a bunch of marvel figures (mostly from amazon), but stopped when I got a bunch from free RPG days and realized that the power creep of newer figures kept outpacing the old ones, so I'd have to keep keep buying brand new figures all they came out, and I didn't really know anyone in my area who played it. Yeah this reminds me of the dirty time I played heroclix. I think at the time there was a convention superman you could buy off of eBay that completely dominated everything else. That and it was very much a booster pack style format where you'd buy random minis and hope you didn't get multiples of the common ones which is stupid as hell

Kwyndig posted:Old management also thought they were directly competing with Pokemon so you know, not the brightest. I mean, they're sort of right in a broad sense. Card games, boardgames, miniatures etc are all filling that silo of "things to occupy your nerdy child", and if everyone's spending all their money on magic or pokemon less of it's potentially going into miniatures. That said, not putting out a videogame because it's going to eat into tabletop profits is a pretty bad take. Those 2 audiences are pretty far removed from each other a lot of the time, and has a lot of potential to double dip into people who have the money to spend. GW lives or dies based on bringing in kids bugging their parents to get into the hobby. Mid 30's IT guys definitely bring in the lion's share of money for them, but as those guys die/leave the hobby they need to be replaced by new buyers.
