Always. We recently finished a campaign at level 20 that I honestly hated for the last six months. Going back to level 1 and generally to lower levels is very refreshing. Completely different emotions and problems. I really missed that.

It looks like this will be a smaller adventure. Is that enough material for a Platinum edition?

A starter adventure, or rather something for higher levels?

Do you see anything in the announcements that could become a new Beadle & Grimm’s Platinum Edition?

Do you think it’s going to be two books again? And why not Dragonlance, actually? For now, it looks like Wizards are just upgrading previously released settings to 5.5.

Crawford’s and Perkins’s departure doesn’t really matter much to me. My issues with the current state of D&D come from something else entirely: the fact that it’s a product published by a large, profit-driven corporation whose primary goal is to sell as many books and supplements as possible...

That certainly plays a role, but there are probably many more potential buyers than 1,358. I’m not sure whether the bigger problem isn’t that over the last six years a lot of visually impressive and narratively comparable campaigns have been released. In 2019 Odyssey of the Dragonlords really...

Unfortunately, I’m going through a sentimental return to D&D 5e. My players are at level 15, and we’ll play through to 20, but now every session is a struggle for me — even though things were fine up to around levels 10–12. Before the campaign, I thought that after finishing it we’d play D&D...

Thanks for the detailed analysis — it really captures the differences between the systems and their approach to high-level play. For me, though, the real issue isn’t the math or the balance, but the nature of what these games turn into at higher levels. I agree that a lot of people simply...

In various discussions, there’s often information that most D&D players don’t play beyond level 12. Does Pathfinder 2e have a similar issue, or is this just something specific to D&D?

In my long career as a dungeon master we have reached 10 levels with the group quite a few times, 2-3 times to 13, once to 16 and now we will do 1-20 (we will finish in December). Personally, I'm a fan of less magic overloaded games and don't like too much how D&D changes with levels. I also...

But actually why don't people want to play at higher levels? Is it a problem of lack of content? Boredom with the game and a desire to start a new group after reaching level 1-12? Problems keeping the same group composition for a long time? Or is it that D&D with each new level, each new...

For me, it's a matter of sentiment. I go back to D&D every few years. This time the reason is the new rules and the desire to run a campaign from 1 to 20 levels. Then I disappear again for a few years, I want to run Imperium Maledictum, Arkham Horror RPG and Pathfinder for Savage Worlds (Curse...

Chapter 4 Battle at Steel Springs Is there any rational reason. why Marshal Vendri went west with her troops? Was the only reason to get rid of the army from Kalaman so that the events of The Lord's Arrival could be played out? I would be grateful for some good explanation. By the way, how...

I bought Players in a preorder in June. When should I get the redeem code?
