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

But that's the game, that's what's in the DMG. That's not likely to change.

It's not like it works, or WotC follows it anyway in their adventures. it hardly seems like a thing worth getting too worked up about.

Well, those players are actually playing players playing, so take their reactions with a grain of salt. I'm not saying their responses aren't genuine but they are still performing for an audience.

...what? No, they genuinely are playing the game, and most of them haven't read the rules (very much like many really players). They aren't playing anything up, it's standard play.

It works to create opportunities for the players to win. That is, what they designed for.

I do think there is a difference between “not challenged” and “set up to win”

Maybe not a big enough one.

So, they aren't paid to perform while playing the game?

If that were true, the system would work. It doesn't in many cases. Certain creature abilities break it and numbers of enemies break it and PC abilities break it.

Pretending encounters are more challenging than they actually are is "the game"? I don't think so.

They are on camera. Obviously anyone on camera is fabricating their actions.

At least that's what I told the judge.

It would be 5.3. Tasha's was 5.1, MoM was 5.2.

Unless it's in the PHB it doesn't count for edition purposes...

Actually, most people not using Feats and multiclassing is data based, not anecdotal. Beyond shared the numbers some time ago.

Could you scare up a link?
