This is not a bad thing, though I wish that it has some guidance for general use, rather than a list of specific effects. There are quite aq few utility and protection spells in D&D that are a bit too narrow and niche in their effect for general use that could be modified to become more...

I think I might have given much different answers to some of the questions 30 years ago.

Good luck with that then.

You are not, if you want that look at third party stuff. Perhaps if it get popular enough it may migrate to the main game. Wizards have become very conservative because it appears that conservative is profitable, more profitable than being experimental. The experiments will be in the third...

However, that AI does not admit to ignorance and gives and answer anyway is a mark against AI as a general search and research tool.

As a user of both FantasyGrounds and D&DBeyond, I am agnostic on hosting but Beyond is my minimum spec and prefer the DM tools in FG. Probably would not switch without some compelling reason.

At the current rate of publication I may buy 2 to 4 books per year and if I really like or want to use something another version of that for a VTT (sometimes I want to use it and it is VTT only). Ramp up the production rate and I will pay less attention to any given product and analysis...

While I agree with you that putting that kind of investment into tabletop would not be useful and that Beyond needs more developmemt. I think that game studios are orobably a good investment. They have prebuilt ip, as long as they acceot that most games will fail in one way or another but they...

I never claimed that the market would collapse, do not put words in my mouth. What I am saying is that the more content released the less attention any given thing will get and with that lower attention comes a reduced chance any given product will get a purchase. I find I am near that limit...

No, Wizards does not need to produce more boiks. I suspect they are already producing all the books the market can bear. I alredy can neither afford, nor read all the books being produced. More books would nor increase sales to me. It would likely reduce them because I would pay less attention...

I would argue that at the end of this Inigo is at zero hp and Wesley has lost a lot also. But yes, different folks can have legimitely different opinions as to what hp and hits are in D&D or other rpgs. Some other rpgs are more one thing or another though.

Apologies, I meant "Many here appear to disagree". First off, I do not use it often because, in general I tend to take the party from their current location to the other location they want to go to, and each location is a traditional map and key situation. If I want to make more of the a...

It is not a bad way to view HP, but ever since I read the War Spell series by Georg Huff and Paula Goodlet, I have started to think of hit point as an interaction between living things in danger and the magic field. That they are a magical boost to awareness, reflexes and speed that allows one...

No but it is a lot of work in any 3d editor I have tried it in. More than I would want to bother with for an encounter map.

A mix, I voted "Premade", because I tend to use published material but I am no respecter of setting or lore. For setting I will use the maps, maybe the gods, maybe some NPC, some lore and maybe some other lore from somewhere else. Adventures, I use more of, but the players go off script then the...
