1. Fire everyone work on 5e. Throw away what you've done on 5e so far. Drop your Modual Rule Systems bullsh*t. Drop every assumption you've made. Hire anyone from The Gaming Den (literally anyone) and give them free reign. Release new edition in 1-2 years. 2. Failing to achieve 1, use 3.5 as a...

To be blunt, what would your ideal game be? What core assumptions? What rules? What classes? What races? I'd like something like this (probably with more, but this is a good skeleton): -Players start small, but become truly legendary and god-like -Enemies scale with the players -Players gain...

On the whole classes issue, the you at minimum thing is kind of just a reaction to 4e lowering the number. Here's the thing: Your classes don't need to be hugely large. There are two ways to cram a bunch of classes in without bloating core. You can have archetypes (Arcanist, Warrior, Scoundrel)...

Here's the thing. Those aren't high level play. The king isn't "high level" he's an aristocrat. If your going to have "Go to Hell/The Abyss/Limbo to bargain for someone's soul" (which is totally a thing you should be able to do) your problems should not be orcs. Yes orcs are iconic, but so are...

Fanboyism, Beer Googles, and the Future of D&D Just read the interview and (admittedly sketchy and inferred) design goals mostly don't seem like good ideas. The ones that do I don't trust the team (mostly Mearls) to implement. Why should orcs be a threat at every level? Modules for classes and...
