Yeah, this is what I'd expect. The trouble is, this isn't the first time we've heard about re-writing Beyond. As far back as 2019, which...

Not yet, no. I am aware that Draw Steel does things fairly differently from 4e, such as dropping binary to-hit rolls in favor of a...

AFAIK I never argued whether or not it was a "new game". It is a revision, which means that which is not the same as the previous thing...

I think you've lost the plot here. They are clearly not the same game or else there would not be a revision to talk about, and you admit...

"Rules as Data" isn't magic, at some point the program needs the development to understand each system's idioms, and for a live service...

Because supporting different versions of D&D on the same platform would be extremely expensive to cater to a small number of players...

Except that's 100% wrong. They had the option to use a wish and just leave. They had the option to handle the planar issue. They had...

I disagree with all of this.
