With the original 5e 2014 rules as a basis, very little. I have near-zero problems running the game with 5e core rules, thanks to the...

Aside from parts of the PHB3.5 and the MM3.5 (sort of) and about half of the 3.5 Forgotten Realms books, I agree with you. 3.0 was much...

I am quite the same and >90% of the times I just played with people I already knew, because even if decide they don't like it, they...

Yeah, I agree, I think D&D simply isn't in any kind of position where it needs to change because of any other product or perceived...

I don't think current trends matter, because the next edition I expect to see will be in 2034, for the 60th anniversary of D&D. If 5E...

Nice design!

It's 2am and I can't sleep so have bardthoughts. Bards are supposed to be the 5th man. In 5e, they're a spellcaster who can do social...

Dying at 0HP was the rule in 1974 OD&D and 1981 B/X, but 1E AD&D instead says you're unconscious at zero, and at the DM's option, as low...

I have been playing--mostly GMing--ttrpgs since 1981. I've run and played numerous games: D&D (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th), Call of Cthulhu...

Horrible is a bit strong. I’ve played lots of out of print or no longer supported games as well as current ones and I know which I’d...
