Yeah I was kind of expecting a sort of DMG2-type deal to be alluded to, and there's still time for it to appear, but... the vibe I'm...

I don't play with strangers so it has never been a hard sell. We (me and my group) all agreed to cap stats at 18 and generally limit...

IDK, I feel I could do that now with 5e. I can't say it would suffice for everyone, but it would work for me an my group.

To me that's just word salad. Like the range of possible things you could mean by that is so broad as to render it totally meaningless...

What does that mean to you. I ran a 5e game to 17th level and it never felt like superhero wuxia to me. So I feel like we have...

It is still to close to 5e 1.0 for them. It still swims in the same waters. They would prefer Hasbro/Wotc charted course to a new sea.

I am still hopeful (probably stupidly so) that they will publish a book that is all optional and variant rules and systems. I no longer...

Yeah I have to admit I'm a little surprised that 2024, instead of introducing more optionality and optional rules and dials and so on to...

it doesn’t, I’ll gladly take this from anyone, but this is a thread about what we want from 6e and it’s not like I am so far out that it...

I would suggest a significant number never played the game attritionally. We started with 1e AD&D and BECMI and we pretty much never...

And yet... I think 80-90% of groups wouldn't even notice a problem. And indeed some significant fraction of that 80-90% would probably...

D&D doesn't need to have every option available. That, as far as I can tell, has never been true and it is definitely not true of 5e.

But why does a game with those characteristics have to be called D&D, made by the D&D people?

Round 2; Exploration ASBCs Species Human; Adaptable, ignore the first level of exhaustion when exploring in unknown regions...

Why not just make 18 or 16 the stat max. It works very well for my group.
