Awesome! Let me know how if goes if you get a chance.

Not likely for me. I haven't liked psionics in my D&D since 1e and I am not looking to change now. I personally have always thought of arcane as the mental magic. I see psionics more likely socerery in that it is innate magic. In fact, in my D&D heart breaker there are (3) ways to have magic...

pyrokinesis never felt like a psionic power to me - just straight up magic. I did think about telepathy, but I put that under mind reading. I forgot about clairvoyance. So be maybe four (4) spells! :p But let's be honest, psionics is just magic. It has no basis in science (i.e. mental...

Really? I am not a D&D psion fan and don't know the game history. But from a general popular fiction I think you only need a few powers: mind control mind reading telekinesis So maybe only three spells or needed for a psion IMO.

I'm a DM, not a player, so I am not sure how I would feel in your shoes. However, everyone makes mistakes and it seems to me the DM made some here. The question is what they do after the realize this (if they have realize it). I will echo some advice given above: dig you enjoy the game prior to...

I guess that is a reason, but if they were to update to the 2024 design paradigm there could/should be improvements and you are not obligated to buy it. I just see it as a win - win situation. You have the older version and newer version. They both work and you can buy or not buy either. You can...

Why not?

There was also a demand for games more complex than base 5e prior to 2024. Maybe those niches are filled and people want something simpler now. Though I think there is a likely a demand for all flavors.

I am not saying it isn't good, I am just saying it doesn't break the game. No, I don't really play video games

I'm still waiting to see how that breaks the game.

I fail to see how this "breaks" the game - care to explain?

Actually I don't feel I do have to make those choices. Like I said, I don't think either of those models is "correct." They are both correct from a point and wrong from another.

IMO, the world axis is the same as the 5e version of the wheel - just seen from a different perspective. I don't think any of the D&D cosmologies are a100% as described in their respective books. I take the stance those descriptions are created by mortals trying to make sense of what they can't...

Here is what I am working with. It kind of brings all the various D&D and Magic cosmologies under one roof (if you squint a bit) - PS, I haven't reviewed this in a bit: The Blind Eternities from MtG are analagous to the nebulous "Far Realm" in the D&D cosmos. Though the image makes it look...
