@loboaureo @copacetic yeah. Until they decide to argue to revoke the license for reasons.
(Also you have to watch out what part is covered under the license, some stuff is gonna be product identity)
(Actually, the beneficial part of this is mostly that you can use their own expression of the rules to make games. Rules as such are not copyrightable, but if you are expressing the rules too similar to their own texts they still could sue you. Using such a license is supposed to take care of that)
@DmMacniel @TheGreatDarkness because it sells. And no matter what hobby stuff is going on, dnd players are disconnected from that to a point. There are people that do not even realize there is a wider hobby outside of 5e
@Obonga @copacetic the author is putting too much effort into writing this. Obviously it hasn't ruined roleplaying if the hobby didn't stop. It's not like people were forced to play that way, not even in 3e. It's just that a lot of people took to it because it was easier for them. And yes, getting people out of the habit is an issue sometimes, but if it was successful, did it really ruin anything?
People really should calm down sometimes and let people do what they like.
@StringTheory @Five that's something that some people do actually believe. it is scary that people like that run around, but every ones in a while you run into that sort of person.
@Susaga @pinkdrunkenelephants you are not getting the real twist. Replace the sword with a fake, completely non-magical one.it doesn't have to be evil. The paladin only has to believe it only hurts evil people.
@DerPapa69 because in my survey of English and German (and sometimes French and Polish) articles this topic in general doesnt come up. Sure there might be lots of articles written about it, but if they are all in Chinese I won't he able to find them.
(Same reason why a lot of roleplaying scenes are kind of a mystery. If something is written about only in one language it's not really easy to find it, even if translation apps exist)
@lategamer @kyonshi@lemmy.ml why does it always have to be a market?
I'm more interested in the mindshare rpgs have there. How are they playing? What are they doing? Is it only larps?
@lategamer @kyonshi@lemmy.ml actually not much as such, but one barely hears about roleplaying games in that part of the world, and to have it big enough to elicit a government response is interesting, don't you think?
@kyonshi@lemmy.ml what I noticed it doesn't do is use the #ttrpgs tag I set in the title among the hashtags on Mastodon. I can click it, it shows me the posts for the hashtag, but it doesn't actually show the post in the timeline.
I assume that's because I posted it via lemmy. I wonder what would happen if I posted it via ttrpg@a.gup.pe instead
@kyonshi@lemmy.ml This has been posted to the RPG group of Lemmy.ml. which I have subscribed as an activitypub contact, which allows me to boost and star it. The star works as an upvote in the lemmy-thread.
that all is pretty cool I think,
@MouseKeyboard @sirblastalot +2 sword, can't stop attacking until blood is drawn
