I don't think we will get a 5 year ir less cycle. Sales would have to tank for tgatvto happen. Earliest 6E I think would be 2031. I'm expecting it by 2034 at the latest. Could be wrong. Think ive got about 3 years left in 5.5. This campaign, next one maybe 1 more.

Atm same. I like 5.5. I dont think it will hold for 10 years like 5.0 did. Mostly because of 5.0 vs anything 5.5 did or didnt do. I'm still digesting 5.0 material as well. We didnt use a lot of it. 1 campaign a year roughly you can't.

No more $20 books it seems. Not sure what % of the market Amazon makes up. Starter sets at double the price. Theyre very juicy theyre not cheap (LMoP one hit $10 iirc).

Basically how we do it. If theres a dispute roll dice highest result wins. Winner probably misses out on next item that matters.

Im getting close to those numbers. I exclude magic item via artificers and reknown system in Faerun books. 1st rare dropped lvl 4, next 3 at 5th were bracers of defense, +1 shocking greataxe, and a keen shortsword. First very rare will probably drop lvl 6. Might do a second close to ten...

Its not though. Appeal to e eryone often means appealing to no one. Its aimed at educated middle class adults age 18-mid 30s. And theyre pushing online hard.

They care if you're buying product. They dont care if you're playing older editions.

This. Pretty much everyone here isn't in the target demographic. We're 25% lumped in with the under 18s iirc. So Half that or less.

You jeep pushing tgat but dont seem to draw the conclusion that was 4Es fault. 3E peopke were enthusiastic leading up to it and post 3E. 4E drove punters straight into the arms of Paizo and 2013 the RPG market was anemic less than 10% of peak 5E size. 4E sold well on release, burned up 3Es...

I'm talking about in essence a full release then playtest. Say pdf phb 2014, play test for years or two to iron the bugs out then full release. A year would have found a lot of issues the fixed in 5.5. Eg certain feats and classes. Same thing for 5.5 ranger problems were spotted fast...

Your favorite edition isnt any better. Certain classes were better, 90% of magic items were trash and certain builds with those magic items were way better. Problem was actually worse. 5E its certain classes at certain levels. Most of its also theory craft. Rangers tier 1 are great...

Alot fall the people here with an axe to grind about 5.5 are also blatantly wrong. Mostly because theyre not playing 5.5. Im still discovering new stuff. This is why you cant have a robust playtest. You would need to complete an edition, mass playtest for a year or two and then release it...

If its my 6E thread notice i would be polling a lot and asking specific clear questions about things like complexity.

Thinking sine more. Fighter, Barbarian, Rogue. Sword and board fighter. Spiked master feat at 4, Sentinel at 6 or archer. Probably use a short bow. Battlemaster is a good archer otherwise champion for newbie. Easiest spellcaster is a pyromancer. Light cleric, dragon Sorcerer, wizard...

Fighter and rogues are generally it. Warlock if you have someone help build it. Clerics not to bad along with Wizards.
