Man... this stinks. I'm going to fire off a few thoughts here, most of this is probably self-evident to those here. Regardless, stream of consciousness engaged... In general: 1) Do what we can to support the industry, if your budget can absorb a few extra dollars, keep buying where you can...

As a comparison, LEGO some years ago, conducted a survey/analysis on "Adult Friends of Lego" or "AFOL". The conclusion of their efforts was that AFOLs, while a small percentage of the total user population (~ 2-5% from memory), had an outsized impact on the economic success of any particular...

Yeesh, hopefully sarcastic given its tone. It's new, folks will incorporate it into their game in due time, or they won't. That's the beauty of D&D, play what edition you want, modify and make it your own. This is not a "mutually exclusive version/game". Use what you want, play how you want...

Looking forward to adding Bastions to my play. The hooks will be helpful.

I'm looking forward to these optional rules. I'm a bit of a number cruncher and options like this tickle that itch. Should be fun.

My 2 cp... Bastions/strongholds/keeps/castles/estates have been around since the beginning. A quick review of my library found no less than 7 different systems or variants. As is often the case, and since everyone is a critic, there are always someone or something that could be better or that...

Most of my early days (ran my first module in 1981) as a DM were using modules. They were easier, they provided me with a 'style' of play, informed me of how the game creators meant the game to be run, and had art. Now, Homebrew adventures/campaigns are much easier with the internet. Prior to...

Picked it up last week; reading thru it now. Seems solid, definitely more focused on "how to play" the game. A good value for the money. Nothing has offended my D&D sensibilities... :)

Yeah, I enjoyed it. Still do. l also enjoyed AD&D, B/X-BECMI editions as well. To state the obvious, every edition has its pro/cons, yet it endures 50 years later. Must be doing something right (even if all the internet experts don't think so... ;)). edit: typo

I backed Coyote and Crow too. I agree with your d12 system comments. I appreciate the setting and, while it is a bit obvious in places, the effort to portray a new perspective on a typical setting is worth the read. For me, I think it is primarily a read for inspiration and perspective. I...

Anything is only worth what someone will pay for it. It may be 'worth' more to you, but it doesn't mean someone else values it at the same worth as you. If sellers can get that price, good for them...

Meh, not a big deal what the name is. Whether it is 'One D&D', 'D&D 2024', 'D&D 5.5' doesn't really matter to me. Folks can huff and puff about it, but at the end of the day, they don't have any control of it. I personally will focus more on keeping the bits I like, and tossing the bits I don't...

I think of this in terms of you can buy a 5E adventure today for $70 new and then a resource guide for another $70 and then extra for the add-ons. This roughly balances out the cost vs. the 'normal' costs that folks are comparing it against. I think there is also a bit of nostalgia in order...

I'm looking forward to it. I've been impressed with the quality that Gooey Cube provides and agree that is somewhere between 'basic' and 'Beedle and Grimm'. The adventures are well written, the support is great, and the art and add-on's are appreciated. With respect to this Kickstarter, I like...
