D&D (2024) GenCon 2023 - D&D Rules Revision panel

[UngeheuerLich]

I see more difference between my phones / laptops and the 2024 revision

Yes there is. Take windows 10 to windows 11. Makes no difference for most users. A slightly different design.
But nontheless. At some point you fix some things that bothered you for a while.

I just wish it would be more, rather than 'some'

That is an... interesting... take.

4e also proves the point about WOTC not having any conviction in their own ideas.

I believe it was here that I read an anecdote about WOTC staff being flabbergasted at the thought someone actually liked 4e; even if you're accepting that your game isn't liked by the masses, to react with incredulity rather than gratitude when you meet someone who does like it is very indicative.

Oh anecdotical evidence. Now I believe you.

I do too. Bit I take what I get.

It's true.
4e was a success. It made a ton of money. It just didn't make the amount of money WOTC wanted, spawned competitors, and the designers were running out of ideas.

5e is a success. It just overrepresented specific tastes due to how its polling was analyzed

I never doubted that it was successful. But it was in its decline.

Yes it was an anecdote that I admitted up front was one, and I intended it purely to support what I mean about having no conviction.

Not a fair way to argue to dismiss a post like that when one isn't hiding anything about how they're arguing the point.

The Champion fighter is the most popular subclass on DNDB but has a 54% satisfactory?

Maybe, just maybe, their data is bad because its from a self selecting hyper online hyper addicted 'D&D is my identity' fraction of the actual player base.

 

[Uni-the-Unicorn!]

So your idea of "development" is not to iterate on an idea to see how it can be made to work, but to just throw out the idea if it isn't accepted as is.

Whats that stupid edison quote about making lightbulbs?

You do realize the first 6 packets have had iterations of many ideas.
