D&D (2024) DMG 2024: The Planes

[MonsterEnvy]

I think that the 2024 DMG is primarily interested in priming new GMs to run WotC published adventures.

I don’t see how it does this anymore than other DMGs have.

Reread your 2014 DMG. Seriously. It's a whole different vibe.

Neither of the TSR DMGs were primarily designed that way, nor was 3e's. In fact, given the worldbuilding and optional rules in the 2014 DMG, I'm not convinced it was designed to facilitate WotC adventure use as a priority of design either.

I have.

Then you know how the 2014 DMG makes a concerted effort to teach DMs how to create and run dungeons that the 2024 DMG doesn't.

Yes and I agree with that. I just don’t agree that the 2024 DMG does much to overly encourage using pre published Adventures. There are two mentions of using them in the book, one is a side bar in the creating adventures chapter how you can rip chunks out of them for your own use.
The other is in chapter 1 where Adventures and Sourcebooks are mentioned as being potentially useful extras for play, and Boxed Text from Adventures is used as an example of how an area is described.

Sounds like a negative value judgment to me.

It's not negative to say something isn't of extreme importance.

 

[Shardstone]

Source on "most people don't use dungeons" please? Come on man, how can you possibly make that claim the way you are here, like it's definitive? It sounds like you can definitively say you don't use dungeons, but I can't see more than that.

There's no sources for most things in this thread, so I'm not about to go out of my way to find any now lmao

There's no mention of Wuxia themed campaigns in the 24 DMG either.
And yet, I'm sure people will still play Wuxia themed games.

What's your point? Are you suggesting that wuxia campaigns are as common as sandbox campaigns?
