It's a pretty significant difference, and the precise reason is really the basis of the discussion, at least as I understand it It's one of the bad side effects that could effect the hobby. Now people have different opinions on whether Hasbro should care or not, but if people will only play a...

I get what you are saying but I would view 5E variants differently than say Pathfinder. But everyone is going to have to be more descriptive in what they are playing if they don't actually call the new books something distinct, as you can't even say 5E DnD, you will have to specify the year.

Players react differently (some players at least) when it's an option available to them on a character builder as opposed to making characters on paper. Also at least last I used it DnD beyond didn't tell you the source of subclasses and spells in the character creation process, which would...

I don't think you a picking up on the issue, or maybe not seeing it in the same light. The issue is the friends would happily play the game if Hasbro allowed it to be on DnD beyond, but Hasbro doesn't allow it on DnD beyond, so they hesitate to play. So it's not a lack of wanting to play the...

I had the top tier and it was not an option I saw, but I may have missed it, or is this a newer feature? (If it is there that's a plus for DnD beyond and DMs who use it

The issue with DnD beyond is it doesn't let a DM filter options so if you buy the thing through a micro transaction it's on your sheet. It's not something the DM gets to approve or veto, it's on your sheet. Of course can say no you can't use that during the game, "but we are using DnD beyond and...

I think a lot depends on your comfort playing a game you don't really know the rules, along with the complexity of the game. Can I learn the basics of a game and mostly play it, yeah most games you can do that in an hour or less, maybe a session but I really wouldn't be enjoying the game...

Delta Green, expected a X-Files remash, with some COC vibes and got something much darker and more complete. Slight spoiler but the first thing you read in the Agent's Handbook appears to be a suicide note, which is a hard opening. The game then details how you as a player would have your...

I really haven't seen a lot of updates. While I haven't picked up Uncharted Journeys I believe Sly Flourish looked at it on his YouTube channel.

I mean restrictive is kinda a subjective term. It could mean limiting things to a specific setting, it could mean limiting it to "official" books or to some it means having to follow the rules as written. I'm generally fine with restrictions as long as they are clearly laid out before hand...

Could be that, could be they believe the book is already published as they have delivered some completed work to backers.

They may be but the player options have become more powerful. Also there are nerfs but since there is a 4 to 1 player to DM ratio and they automatically pass 4 to 1 ratings player preference will win out. If they want DMs to run games they'll need to address that ratio.

They could be, but they would have messed up and trolled me as well. 😃 It's not that big of a deal though I homebrew most of my adventures (and can add on to modules if I want) so I can extend those levels if I choose. However overall (of course this could change once we see monsters) but the...

You replied to what you see as a personal attack with a personal attack and again seem to represent what the poster and I see as a reasonable response as moving the goal post and then give a lecture on what you believe to be proper etiquette with out ever once addressing the actual facts...

I don't think they are moving the goal post I just think they have a different definition/expectation from the phrase "backwards compatible,". Same thing came up with Level Up where some people thought the minor differences made it not compatible with standard DnD and some felt having to making...
