Ok...

Im trying to understand where you see a difference in "quality" if anything I see a difference in aesthetics because one is a map style representation of an underground space and one is a colored semi-realistic drawing of s building above ground. Its like comparing a full color piece and a...

You know... I want to apologize for dragging this thread into edition war territory...it really was not my intention nor the point of what I was posting. I got a little heated and shouldn't have engaged...but I did, sorry all.

Not twisting...paraphrasing but if you cant provide any real proof to back up your claims...like I said when you first engaged with me then yeah... you should bow out. Laugh emojis only go so far without substance... Not even worth it...

You know this how exactly? Oh ok you're defining success as sold less than the preceding edition...But did sell something...Well you win then... I guess.

You're not...unless the definition of objectively has changed Ben Riggs cited that the 4e phb sold "far" less over its lifetime than the 3e phb did...thats not a failure based on expectations thats a failure based on measurements of adoption.

Im not doing this...the game failed, unless you were part of WotC at that time all you're doing is speculating. You dont actually know anything and this isnt a thread about 4e.

I dont think this...especially the middle paragraph...can be proven true. But im not trying to debate 4e's what if's and maybes... for whatever metrics would have made it successful...it failed.

Look you seem intent on sticking with your incorrect assumptions about the book and seem to truly believe it's bad. You're asking for a recommendation on a book you have stated you own & have read... at this point why would a recomendation change your mind or even get you to consider your...

I want to believe thats the main problem but you bring faerie or the Fey into it and suddenly colorful can be plenty dark & dangerous for the same people...

not well regarded by who? You gave a single video from an OSR channel. I mean repeating something with no evidence doesn't make it any more true than the first time you posted it.

What in the text gave the vibe of it being an utopia? I didn't get that at all form it and many of the adventures in the book have low key dark or horror vibes in them.

12 archmages with all the ego, personal goals, desires etc. that being powerful mages entail.... And they protect the Citadel from external threats not internal. that's what you keep ignoring there are numerous factions, sects, NPC's etc. within the Radiant Citadel with goals, desires...

It being a utopia is not actually supported at all by the text.

Is Sigil "safe" because it has The Lady of Pain... she's more powerful than 12 archmages. You're dismissing the internal strife/challenges that would arise in a place like the Radiant Citadel and I'm not sure why.
