Jacob Lewis Do you do weddings as well?

Ok, just had a stupid thought! They will do it just like Ravenloft! Your heroes from FR are transported to an alien desert world where everything is different and they are super strong.... John Carter on Mars, folks! I am calling it now! Change it to where they are unknowingly flung a million or so years into the unrecognizable future; exclude Create or Destroy Water, Create Food and Drink, and Goodberry (maybe Heat Metal too); and have the plotline be King Kalak intending to use his ziggurat to transport his armies of Templars and Defilers back in time to conquer the past, and it honestly doesn't sound like a bad idea for an adventure path. Advertise it as John Carter of Mars meets Planet of the Apes.

As much as I would love to see Dark Sun return to the table, I don't think it would be a good fit for the current business model. It needs (deserves!) to be it's own product line that stands apart from what WoC has dictated to be the norm for D&D. It is not a place you visit mid-campaign or rules you can just mesh with your current scenario. It is a different world with different rules and different expectations. If they present it any way similar to how they handled Ravenloft-- which worked fine for Ravenloft--I... Ok, just had a stupid thought! They will do it just like Ravenloft! Your heroes from FR are transported to an alien desert world where everything is different and they are super strong.... John Carter on Mars, folks! I am calling it now! "Hey, there is a nice village of halflings up ahead. Maybe they can put us up for the night and have us for dinner while we adjust to this new place..."

Board games are popular again, and they're bigger and more complex than ever. Custom inserts are in demand to keep sets organized and neat, especially those with lots of expansions. I think a 3-D printer could be very useful in this considering the low level of detail needed to create custom trays for storing components. I have seen many models which are for exactly this use - organizing the box o stuff which came with that board game. And one selling point is that these printers can make boxes and such with extremely thin walls from fairly tough plastic to maximize fitting into the overall cardboard box. And some are just fun! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2687193

Geeze, people are touchy! Did my smiley face not give comfort and confer my jovial, good-natured ribbing? http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/001/056/841/eb9.gif I mean, anyone else want to put me in my place? Tell me I don't belong anymore because I don't subscribe to this edition, or lost faith in a company I used to support? You still belong here. Even if you don't like this edition or lost faith in a company you used to support. That said, I suspect your thoughts would be more appreciated if they were more about topics that more people might be interested in regardless of edition. Your thoughts on 5e are not edition neutral (and being posted in a 5e fan thread specifically) but your thoughts on "traps and secret doors" or "railroading vs sandbox" or "sentient magic items" or "how do I deal with this problem player/DM" would be. Not that I am telling you what to post. But...you asked why someone reacted so touchy to your post, as if that was something you didn't par...

Tell me I don't belong anymore because I don't subscribe to this edition, or lost faith in a company I used to support? If you don't want my attention, don't ask for it. And there is an ignore feature if my humor isn't to your taste. It won't hurt my feelings, I promise. ... Then why are you posting in a 5e forum? There are several other forums for generic RPGs and past editions. I don’t play Pathfinder much anymore. So I don’t go to threads on their newest released, let alone post just to complain. What purpose would that serve?

Yes, actually. But I've been here a long time and playing the game even longer. But thanks for asking! Its a priveledge to be quotes on only your first or second post here. Post much? ;) Just because I've never posted before doesn't invalidate what I had to say. You're the one crying about crap that no one else is bothered enough to post about. Then when someone calls you out on it, you try to make yourself sound important by comparing post counts? Talk about childish. But that's okay, because I'll apologize to you. I'm sorry I gave you the attention you crave in the first place. You can reply if you want, I'm done with this thread.

Good news, everyone! D&D came out with a new product this year, which can be purchased multiple times in multiple formats! And as always, it's not really D&D unless it skews common perceptions of classic races, displaces iconic characters into a catch-all setting that has become a distant echo of it's former glory, and has been preceeded by more sneak peeks and tantalizing previews than a traveling showgirl troupe performing an outside show in the park. Let's move on already to the next item hinted at for release and begin the 6+ month journey of hype and speculation for another collection of uninspiring and recycled ideas! 5e 4evar!! ;) Dude, if you dislike either the company or the game that much, why are you here? Jaded much?

What's the point of PF2 if casters end up as OP as in PF1? It'll be as popular as PF1? I mean, if their fans had liked balanced martial & caster classes, they might have just made the transition to 4e. Not that the above looks to pose nearly that risk of caster/non-caster balance. Rather, it looks more like they're outfitting the class designs to fit to a shorter day than 5e's 6-8 encounters, perhaps because, realistically, that's what folks actually do? Luckily for us (but maybe not for Paizo) we have 5E. It has proven beyond a shadow of doubt you can create a game with better class equality AND still have popular casters. Laughable. 5e hypothetically balances casters on a 6-8 encounter day basically no one uses. You get to claim balance in theory, while enjoying D&D's traditional tier-1 caster supremacy, in practice. I'm sure PF2 will deliver the same thing. It would be very sad indeed if they go through all this trouble and STILL* fix none of 3.0s endemic issues; caster supremac...

Can't an old grognard poke fun at his least favorite edition? I'd comment on other products so as not to pick on one all the time, but I can't wait that long for the next one to appear! Ba-dum! Ching!! *rimshot* I know what you mean of awaiting "new" new stuff. It does seem like we are still recycling things and playing catch up. I am hoping they have some great stuff on the other D&D worlds. Hopefully we will gets a "Dalamar's Dossier of Dangerous Things"...which will just concentrate on Krynn....because those mages don't like to look beyond their world.

Hiya! I guess the closest I can come is this: WotC seems to be trying to focus attention on THEIR characters and not YOURS/OURS. I don't want to be constantly reminded of how great Mordenkainen is, or how awesome Elminster is, or how super-secretive-but-everyone-knows-him-and-is-afraid-but-not-really that Xanathar floating orb monster is, etc. I don't want to hear "Oh, Mordenkainens Foes book has those guys" because it ever so slightly denigrates the monsters in it to be somehow related to Mordenkainen. If I write a series of adventures centered around some creature to be found therein, no matter how unique and memorable my adventure is...both the players and I will ALWAYS "know" that "Mordenkainen knew all about those guys first". Supplemental books for AD&D were generic. They were tools for us to use to tell our own stories and have our own tales of heroics. Now? Well... I don't want to be reminded of how cool and wonderful WotC's IP is. I want WotC to produce products that focus on US...th...

Some people get it, and some were born before the internet told them not to have independent thoughts or opinions. I have a picture in my head of somebody typing this exact phrase while wearing that t-shirt that says "You're laughing at me because I'm different, I'm laughing at you because you're all the same". Anywho, I'm pretty excited for this to drop finally. I don't know about anyone else, but I've always enjoyed reading the lore in D&D books, even when I don't ever intend on using it.

Some people get it, and some were born before the internet told them not to have independent thoughts or opinions. This has gone beyond poking fun at a game you don't like and into insulting other users. Cool it, please.

Cause very little of the stuff you stated there is true. I actually don’t think of Elves as frivolous or carefree. To me that describes Halflings moreso than Elves. I think of Elves as being quite haughty and a bit solemn (like most of the Lord of the Rings Elves), even though they do appreciate the finer things (fancy attire , arch...

So the son of legendary personality who helped create the world's most popular role-playing game, that is now more popular and profitable than it has ever been, believes someone should help invest and create a video game based on his father's other works using another pen and paper role-playing system he designed, but feels that pen and paper role-playing is dying...? Maybe someone could invite him to a game, or a convention, or an organized event, or board game group, or tournament, or this forum! He is obviously out of touch with the reality of our alternate realities. He is a big Magic The Gathering player and attends GaryCon. IIRC Alex ran a game at GaryCon X (2018).

The "skewing" is irrelevant, as I modified such things for my world anyway.
