I think given that Curse of Strahd was one of the best selling adventures, and Strahd himself is one of the NPCs that many fans do recognize by name, it’s not negative value. I equate it to Marvel’s Captain America or Iron Man. Captain America on film used to be a D list actor riding a...

Sometimes you can almost feel the spittle coming off some people’s posts.

Dude, you quote-replied me first to tell me how different 5e is from 3e and 4e, completely ignoring the fact that 5e is no longer the current edition of the game. I’ve got nothing for you here.

Glad we agree there’s no problem here.

That was literally the first song on my Xmas playlist today! 😆

I’m just going to go back to my original point that you quoted: as much as I like new settings, and would be fine if they made one, I’m not convinced there needs to be one created specifically for the reasons of showcasing 5e mechanics - because at this point, 11 years past the debut of 5e...

The most recent edition change was last year, which is why I say it wasn’t much different.

It still comes down to a social interaction issue. As well as recognition that it’s ultimately a game.

So you see the issue as the DM could conceivably approve or deny the use of game components? That can happen with virtually anything. I mean, I was using Dhampirs from the VRGR in other campaigns. I know other DMs who brought shifters from Eberron into other campaigns. This notion of “locked”...

Why shouldn’t that be necessary? Setting specific classes, spells, and options are a good thing because they match the lore of those settings, make for a better roleplaying experience, and can do things that are thematically appropriate for that setting. If a DM likes an idea and wants to add...

Will seemed more like a Warlock in that moment than a Sorcerer, to be honest.

Then maybe I misunderstood your point, I guess. It doesn’t really matter that 3e and 4e are different from 5e at this point. It’s in the past. The most recent edition change was negligibly different in comparison.

It’s also a retroactive perspective. There’s nothing to be done about the change from 3e to 4e to 5e. It’s relitigating the past. Also, 3e got Eberron. 4e had Nentir Vale baked into the core books. But is 5.5 that dramatically different from 5e? I don’t think so. I think it’s the smallest shift...

I really like the flavor and details of it - I would totally use that for a Ravenloft campaign!

And I’m out of that thread. Another voice decides to join late to relitigate a bunch of nonsense spewed in other threads.
