D&D (2024) What could OneD&D to bring YOU back to D&D? (+)

Thinking more on this, one thing OneD&D could do, since they are going to the digital platform, is do a better job of integrating all the adventures so that they can be more easily incorporated across different settings.

I'm relatively new to this forum, but I've seen that "(+)" on threads before. What does it mean?

It means we cannot complain, and must contribute to the thread with an assumed positive perspective towards the topic.

The question was asked about what can be done to draw me to one d&d - a focus on thematics at low level would excite me.

One of my biggest pet peeves has been that EK’s get nothing magical before level 3. IMO that really hurts there thematic appeal when starting at level 1.

Then start at level 3. That is a low level (still within the starting levels of 5e). We start at level 0. The only way to accommodate your taste and mine is to have things come on at different levels. So, the compromise is to have different starting points. If that is case, moving up generally is perceived as simpler.

Only thing that might tempt me back to D&D would be a fantastic Dark Sun book. It's the only D&D setting or lore I've ever liked, and I like it a whole lot.

1. This is a + thread.
2. I answered what would get me excited about 1 D&D. You don’t have to be excited about the same things I am and in a normal thread I’d be happy to debate you more, but this is a + thread.
3. Low level play is my favorite. I especially like levels 1 and 2.

No, sorry no way to compromise. Currently I have the the ability to have my sorcerer act as a cleric replacement - a group's primary healer- from day one no matter the level. I'm not willing to give that up.

Get us back to kicking in doors, taking loot, using loot on magic items, feats, racial schmorpal (???) feats, add back in ASI, more subclasses...

You know, 3.5/PF1 type stuff!

the warlord for starters.

The continuing lack of the warlord/marshal in 5E is extremely weird, especially as 1D&D would be an ideal time to bring them back and kick the hype train into high gear.

I have no idea what your talking about; however, compromise is often a good thing
