Gotcha! Here are my thoughts on 3 options: 2014 DMG: Personally, I find the rules in the 2014 DMG robust and consistent (if you apply them correctly) and there are online tools that make CR calculation fairly easy. However, these no longer reflect the power bump higher CR monsters see in 2024...

Until fairly recently WotC claimed products took about 2 years from initial ideas to printing the final product and sometime longer. So their influence on products could stretch for another year or so. However, what they are given actual credits on will probably wrap up with the 2026 products if...

You do realize sea turtles do not breath water?

@Scurvy_Platypus, I have a question: are you looking for a source to use for monsters or how to make your own monsters?

Morale as in the 2014 DMG - so it is still a 5e thing

I know they have done the list before, but let me see if I can figure it out: OD AD&D 1e AD&D 2e 3e 3.5e 4e 4e - Essentials 5e 5e24 @Parmandur is that correct? I mean by standard textbook definitions of "edition," they are probably correct.

IDK, but I find it unlikely. I don't think you usually hire a bunch of new people to start writing a new edition. That doesn't make sense to me for a lot of reasons.

That is a good guess. I have also seen things like that when stairs and walls don't get lined up either originally or from renovation. But zooming and looking at closer it looks a lot like painted ductwork with a cornice applied somehow. I wonder if the is a registre grille on the face hidden...

We use max stat of 18* and magic items max at +1 bonus to hit.** At the end game that is an effective -3 to -4 penalty compared to how I see a lot of people are playing. *We are thinking of going to max stat of 16 for our next campaign. **On hindsight I would have removed to hit bonuses...

This is very interesting and thank you for sharing. I like that it give a clear incentive for strategic planning and I absolutely think this idea can work in D&D. I will probably give it a try. I don't know that it has a lot of value for how I hear people actually play 5e though as giving PCs...

Cool photos, thank you got sharing. However, I have to ask: What is that strange bump-out in the wall behind the Cosmere box?!

Sorry, I didn't see that. I haven't even come close to reading all of your post, but from what I have seen you sure seem to suggest that the GM must always compromise. Which I never thought you truly believed, but it is the impression you give off. On a side note, I do think the burden of...

Thanks! Though I was more asking for @Maxperson as they mentioned their book didn't say what yours did on the pages referenced.

page 5, 6, and 76 of what book?

I'm not a FR guy, but these sound pretty awesome.
