D&D’s corporate overlords have “ideas” about milking more money from the franchise.

Can I intereset you in an open source RPG before the Monstrous Manual macros start limiting your reading time to your subscription level?

I would actually be ok with that…

I get that. That’s not so much what I’m disagreeing with. It’s more that I prefer my materials to be digital over paper, so I won’t miss paper when it’s gone

I would like more computer games, especially ones that aren’t in early access for 3+ years, but when burgies and their lackeys talk in that tone, they usually mean things even more scummy than the constant MTG gallop.
For all the good parts of 4E, one problem was that it was certainly over-monetized, with hardbacks being released every month and a very expensive online character builder. With 5e, the plea to the higher-ups reportedly was that “just let us make a version ‘for the fans’, a labor of love, and you make money off of t-shirts and pinball games and such if D&D becomes a valuable brand again”… and it became the best-selling edition.
Now I don’t know what the heck they are doing. The fact that they own D&D beyond is not a good sign.
