    D&D 5E (2014) Dark Sun, problematic content, and 5E…

    So your methodology is to disrespect people you don't know because they haven't "earned" your respect? Talk about a catch 22!

    Good to know there is no room in D&D for certain groups of players based on selected criteria. There are plenty of people that want Dark Sun that do not fit your narrow selection of people you choose to discriminate as unworthy to market to. I am done with this discussion, good day.

    I didn't say they are more important, you said they weren't important at all. Where are your numbers coming from?

    Lol, nostalgia players are a huge market, many don't want to chase down and pay for out of print books that need adapting to a new rule set. They will jump on a new book of an old setting adapted for the new rule set they and their current groups are using. It is their excitement that drags...

    That's a pretty broad brush dipped in some questionable paint you're painting with, a consensus doesn't equal truth.

    I think it depends on why people aren't using it matters, those not using it after trying and not liking it are just as relevant as those using it.

    How suddenly did it become long grass?

    The grass absolutely doesn't change height, it was from inception tall enough to conceal an ambush. Same as a group of trees doesn't change size if they are peach trees and a player assumes they are redwoods, and a river doesn't change depth because the player do not check before entering. Its...

    It really depends on the group, as I said I'm constant in my methodology. If a DM was not I can see how it would be a flaw. Take trees, they could be redwood size or fruit trees, rock piles could be the size of riding mower or a building. In the example I initially replied to it was grass in a...

    Who said it"suddenly becomes long" I would never describe its length at all unless asked. It would always be long, but described as a patch of grass. If no one in the party asks about it's length, of investigates it, it is just grass, same for bushes, rocks rubble et al. Do you describe only...

    It doesn't need to be described in detail, just mentioned unless a PC asks more about it, or has a high enough passive perception, otherwise it's just grass until the ambush is triggered or noticed. It is up to the PC to ask or ignore not the DM to telegraph. Kinda like a trap or Mimic et al.

    I have not used it, but I have read it in digital form, and looked through a friends physical copy over a week or so, it doesn't fit my use case at all in the physical format. I do not use digital stuff other than when out with friends discussing/debating the game, never playing or prepping.

    They will have a difficult problem changing anything in a physical book I own that is on my bookshelf. As for errata for later printings, changing the index isn't very difficult to add to the work the errata needs. Heck adding page numbers in a later printing that has other errata wouldn't be a...

    I think the lack of page numbers in the index\reference portions of the book is a large part of the "it feels like the physical book was an after thought" views\complaints.
