It is possible the difference is 3.5 and Essentials were trying to revive a dying product line. 5e24 is just trying to continue the success. I don't think they are apples to apples.

I think the sales data we have supports your viewpoint as well. Every time (previous to 5e) a new edition was released it had a surge of initial sales, but those quickly fell off. IIRC, only 1e and 5e had any sustain success.

Astrology is in the same sphere as flat-earthers. I.e., it has no basis in scientific fact. If it is an issue of faith - sure, have at it!

FYI, I found a KS project that uses AI images and is D&D 5e and god related: Galactic Pantheon: Gods of the Future (5e) A couple of thoughts: I think they are lying. Based on the preview images I think all of that art is AI generated and, probably, only mildly edited in photoshop. To...

I have no idea, that is why it would be interesting to me. If I wasn't clear, I am not suggesting you do this as a sociological experiment. I was just saying that I am interested in finding out what people would really do vs. what they say they would do. It was not advice on how to conduct your...

That is an interesting idea. Personally, as a bit of a sociological experiment, I would love to see how many people would buy the book with AI art just removed and blank spaces. Though I understand you are putting you name on product and not running an experiment!

Well it is a "history of" dragon art so I would think most of it would be familiar!

Well GreatestHonor already said they would prefer blank pages earlier in this thread" Some people really do not like AI art. To be clear, I am not overly concerned about those who don't like AI images not willing to get your book. My concern is bad PR. AI images are a big no-no in a lot of the...

A 3pp could update to 2024 design sensibilities, but I see no need to do that. 2914 & 2024 play together just fine.

Have a great birthday! I had mine (52) earlier this month. I think so too. You offer both, if they chose the less art version - that is their choice. No cost difference IMO. Absolutely, I wasn't trying to suggest it was the same scale of endeavor. Just that I have seen the concept tackled...

While I generally agree and don't like or purchase AI art (heck I typically "unlike" an image on the art platforms I frequent if I discover after the fact it is AI - and typically call out AI art that is not listed as such). It is, however, debatable if it is "theft" in the traditional sense. 4...

AI images are a tough issue and I see both sides. It is an ethical question that any small RPG projects are wrestling with. One of my issues is: I just don't like the look of most AI images, I don't like its "style." However, AI can create images in different styles, some which I like better...

I liked Blood of Zeus, but I like Twilight of the Gods even more.

PS @Upper_Krust : have you seen Twilight of the Gods on Netflix? I think it has some interesting ideas of epic gaming.

Personally. I was a bit underwhelmed with Epic Legacies rules and frankly most of the epic rules for 5e out there. However, I have high hopes UK will correct that!

I definitely like the idea of the alt-cover; however, I would prefer it wasn't AI generated.

Sometimes things are a red herring. It is quite possible that they just didn't include them because they didn't think they were important. It could be T-Rex arms puzzle. For years, people wondered why T-Rex did with it strange little 2-clawed arms. They came up with all kinds of purposes...

I do want to point out that Orcus (and Tiamat which was mentioned in another post) are RL mythological creature names. They are not WotC IP. WotC's specific representation of them (Tiamat with 5 heads) would be their IP I believe.

I have followed it - eager to see it go live!

No, some of it was used in the WotC 4e adventures
