D&D (2024) Dungeons and Dragons future? Ray Winninger gives a nod to Mike Shea's proposed changes.

Here’s my prediction: some people will be disappointed. And we will hear about their disappointment. Frequently.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

No idea at all.

Homework?

Homework?

If we don't study history, we are doomed to repeat it.

Here’s my prediction: some people will be disappointed. And we will hear about their disappointment. Frequently.

Constantly. In every single thread discussing any 5e book that comes out after 2024 (official or not). And I already know who most of those people will be.

If it’s 100% compatible, then should say 5.01ed!

"Leave the rest to be"

Ah, so no improvements or things people were hoping to get.

There are improvements listed, and it was never going to be what everyone was hoping to get, but it is exactly what many of us are hoping for.

 

[Lord Mhoram]

Only reason I remember it is because his dad co-authored the Illuminatus! Trilogy with Robert Anton Wilson. One of my favorite reads.

I never got around to reading those, but I loved Shike.

 

[abirdcall]

They can tweak classes and feats and still have it be backwards compatible.

Just like they can update monsters but we can still use the old ones if we want.

I hope they're not afraid to do that.

Just leave all the actual rules everything hangs on the same.

"Make balors as dangerous as wolves." Could this request be for any game other than D&D?

Some of those points suggest a return to what 5e was supposed to be: streamlined.

 

[Smackpixi]

None of these suggestions sound like changes, except the Tasha’s bits, which, being already published, also aren’t changes, but standardizing options. I mean, don’t all these suggestions just seem like little tweaks they should have been making all along, as they go, with each print run?
