D&D General D&D 2024 does not deserve to succeed

What did Marshall ever do to you??? He's just trying to live his life, man.

I don't know. He took that heel turn during the Slap Bet...

I feel the same way. Maybe I should be talking about Level Up more...

Well yeah. Follow your bliss. Talk to your friends and fellow gamers about the things you enjoy.
Honestly, I give my displeasure with Hasbro more attention than it deserves. That's partly because this is my go-to forum, and D&D (the brand) is so important here.
But if I'm true to myself, I'd rather be writing about the Dragonbane game I'm running tonight.

that is what I thought, some spells for the most part, I doubt that compensates for the weapon masteries which are constantly being used

Depends if your party is playing casters or martials.

But that wasn't an exhaustive list. A lot of things are more clearly worded.

They had a simple weapon mastery that just changed the damage dice. Playtesters screamed how it was inferior to others and it got pulled. Once again, the fans prove that simplicity is not as big a draw as they claim it is.

Graze is simple.

I'm sure Morrus would market more widely if he had WotC's marketing budget. Where do you see RPGS that aren't D&D marketed?

To have a budget, you need to be popular.

Other TTRPGs just need to get some hard core fans for a few decades, be on the edge of bankruptcy, and then sell their IP to a big toy company.

FFG was sold to Asmodee.

It does not seem to have had an effect.

Oh, it had an effect. Asmodee forced FFG to change their card sleeves in an easily detectable way, which led to me never buying any more of their sleeves - or their games.

I feel like that and the organizational changes are the biggest improvements and the rule changes are mostly treading water

Ditto.

How many people are needed for something to be popular? There has to be threshold number where a game goes from being known only by a few to where it's known by millions. D&D crossed that threshold a long time ago. Ditto for Pathfinder and for every other well-known RPG.
