D&D (2024) I have the DMG. AMA!

There is actual guidance yes. But it’s obvious stuff.

yes, but they had the obvious stuff without any guidance, I’d rather have the obvious stuff that is the guidance

 

[mamba]

Oh - is that what you meant @mamba? Of course that's there too.

yes, that is what I was looking for, actual rules. I agree that in this particular case they are pretty easy to figure out, but they still are what I would want / expect here

The tools in the 2014 DMG still work, the game is still 5e. It has not changed in any fundamental way.

And yet they're still asking folks to drop $150 to buy their core books again.

if creating monsters is the whole purpose, then all MMs so far failed at their one purpose. I am far from certain we will get rules there

Yeah. I see no evidence they have any particular interest anymore in having DMs make the game their own mechanically.

Didn't you know, Tasha's Cereal Bowl of Variant Rules comes out next year. And that's another $50. So it's actually $200 for the same functionality. And we still won't get meaningful guidance on how to play nice in a group.

I really do like 5e, I swear. I'm just sassy tonight.

you might want to pressure pacing, or not, depending on tension-building

The fact they, finally, address the basics of pacing makes me very happy. This is part of the game that even seasoned DMs often struggle with. And it desperately needed attention.

I like the base 5e ruleset just fine. Just not the current official expression of it.

I have been critical of the 2024 changes. I dislike much of what they are doing. I adore the underlying system though. The math is incredibly elegant and a lot of talented publishers are using it to great effect.

I'm really curious how they handle this.
