Dungeons & Dragons' owners think the brand is "really under monetised" and have a plan to fix that in the future.

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

    I would not at all be surprised if one day they moved everything to digital formats and then just slapped a big ol’ subscription fee on it all for access. I give D&D another 5-10 years before they stop printing paper books entirely. Just a hunch, of course, but…yeah.

      I would actually be ok with that…

        I wouldn’t. I like to own my gaming materials and not have my campaign at the mercy of someone else’s whims.

          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

            That’s fair. I just dislke more and more of my favorite pasttimes becoming more and more subscription based. Music, movies and now (potentially) ttrpgs.

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