    This Seems Unnecessary – Loot Mechanics #406

    Is WotC trying to draw out the popularity of D&D 5e as long as possible, or cover for the glaring lack of third party support for D&D 2024 edition? We discuss this and more of today’s show. * Intro (0:34) – The usual stuff * Tabletop Roleplaying (6:14) – WotC adds another 5e-based, third party TTRPG to D&D Beyond. Is this just dragging out the popularity of 5e, or is it a way to cover for the non-existent third-party support for D&D 2024? * Wrap (26:07) – So I guess there’s absolutely no reason to watch Rumble, then. “Burn The World Waltz” Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Subscribe to the podcast here!

    Just Plain Dumb – Loot Mechanics #403
