My kids would not have been all that interested in D&D without Stranger Things. It also got them into Metallica. I am not which one is more important!

My longstanding group has never come over to 5e - we kept on playing 4e and other games like burning wheel, Pendragon, Traveller etc. But I reconnected with some people I played 1e back in the day and some who never played D&D before - an we played a lot of 5e during the long lockdowns we faced...

I am torn on this because on a general level I think they should go through the 5.1e (minor change) route because it has been so successful for so many but at a personal level I would like 6e (major change) because while I like 5e, I have played so much 5e during the pandemic that I am sick of...

Warrior (knight/barbarian/warlord) Hunter (ranger/scout/witcher) Rogue (thief/assassin/bard) Mage (Wiz/Sorc/Warlock/artificer) Priest (Druid/Shaman/Paladin) Mystic (Monk/Psion)

Skill challenges in 4e were fun for my group.

I think it could segue well into D1-3/Q1 Descent Into the Depths of the Earth etc adventures from 1e.

I have played since 1982 but I often feel like an outlier because I dont really have any gronard tendencies and greatly prefer recent editions. I played 1e again recently and really wondered how I stuck with the hobby all these years. As such, I also like high level D&D even more than low level...

In 5e the choice between ASI and feats drives me nuts - hey do you want to character to be more powerful or more interesting! I wish ASIs and feats were separate and that feats were more interesting and more choices made in order to promote greater character customization.

I am an old player and I love combat. I like roleplaying and world building that gives the combat meaning - but man, I have enough social interactions in real life and if I want do some exploring Id go for hike. Combat is the one thing that D&D can always deliver on that I cannot do in real...

I love the detail about using the monster remains as part of the alchemy and crafting systems. I would be good to have a reason in D&D to hunt down monster for more than its gold. Although I do remember carrying around 130 vials of Nekker blood and lots of Drowner brains when I played the...

I value 'progress' and adaptation over tradition and I look forward to innovations in rules and mechanisms in new editions. I feel like each addition has improved the game for me in terms of rules. I went back and read the 1e rules and I really cant understand how I played it in the early 80s...

I dont know - my kids destroyed a lot of skeletons, creepers etc when they play minecraft! They know that is not real and its escapism - but man I would like see their enthusiasm for dispatching those critters translate into other things like homework. But I certainly agree that I like gaming...

Does the Stache grant a +2 to AC? Shouldnt his AC be 22 with the +2 shield?

Everyone in my group should stick this note on our respective foreheads - the DM included - we are hopeless at remembering this.

If everyone has just one different change they want, the number of overall changes once collated is going to be greater than any one's person's preference! But there is a pretty narrow space they have to work with here. If it is just typos and minor changes I am sure many will say why bother...

My faves have been: 3e Cleric 4e Ranger 5e Warlock or Paladin

Warp Riders is an great album by American rock band called The Sword. It is a concept album which sounds like a crazy D&D campaign / science fiction story.

I dont see much value in the Parent Class category but I also think the subclass contains a lot of weight in 5e. At times I think it may be too much. But I do like to see more trans-class customisation options in the form of (more) feats, prestige classes, paragon paths etc

We are 7th level and playing Rime of the Frostmaiden. We have about 1000gp each. This is after the main cash outlays (after the heavy armour dudes have their plate, we have a few silvered weapons and few potions of healing). So I am not sure what we would want to buy next. I should add that...

5.74 edition! But more seriously, it is hard to answer this question without knowing who is going to head this, what kind of changes will be made or what they mean by compatibility, etc.
