Do you guys have inside information to support your business theories? Because without actual data to back up your claims, you don't know what you're talking about. If you have companies selling lots of low quality books and others selling fewer higher quality books, the only thing you can...

I don't know what 5e needs but right now the only thing I'm really missing is more feats and subclasses to flesh out the most common archetypes.

WoTC just wants to sell these AP as luxury products. Someone in their offices probably thinks they can maximize their profit by making a bit more profit on each sale and sell a little less. Selling cheap and a lot isn't always the best business decision.

Did you take a look at ENWorld's magazine? https://www.patreon.com/ensider?u=461304

What I want the most from WoTC is properly tested player options but I don't want to be overwhelmed with niche options like in 3e or 4e. I'd like the common archetype options to be seperate from the unconventional ones so I don't have to pay for something I don't need. I'd also like to see...

Do you get a printed version in your mailbox or do you get a PDF version that you need to print and put in your favorite my little pony binder?

It's just that people don't have as much time to invest in the game as they used to. A wife and kids are huge time timesuckers and MMOs are even worse...

They just need to goolge D&D 5e torrent to understand how absolutely stupid their point of view is...

I'm not sure what the complaint is all about? I personally don't use adventure paths because I like a bit more variety in what happens to my character. Spending 200 hours of gameplay to kill the evil dragon queen is just not my kind of fun. But it's not like you have to play adventure paths...

Sailor Moon: You're kind of making it sound like the only way RPGs are going to thrive or survive is if it's the only form of entertainment available... That's not going to happen. If WoTC isn't the one producing their MMOs or tactical boardgames it's going to be another company. If a small...

It looks really good. I hope this gives us an idea of the type of 3rd party material we'll be seeing in the future.

A DM isn't allowed to make up magic items and modify monsters? I wonder what's going to happen when your DM creates a new monster! Imagine if it looks like an orc but is called an orc grunt and has a battleaxe and a shield! And what's this thing about magic items that don't fit the party? This...

I'm not sure what you're getting at with this post. But having mixed groups in AD&D wasn't as bad as in 3e and later editions. I don't know if you remember, but all the non-combat aspect of AD&D was more about player skill than character skill. This means that even if you're playing a 1st level...

Superking: Why not just give them the armor and deduct the cost from whatever treasure you had planned? But if you it really really bothers you and you think that a +1 bonus to AC is going to wreck your game, you can always give the hobo a chainmail and come up with a BS monster feature to...

I don't like player or PC disputes. PC disputes are fun to roleplay once in a while but I like the whole going on adventure part a lot more. I don't like players that spend too much time talking about other things than the adventure. I don't like playing D&D with drunk or high players. None...

And your players can always do that for many other things. They can say they don't want to play in your homebrew campaign, in another campaign, in your linear adventure, in your sandbox adventure, etc... Yes, there are plenty of things the players can do to make it impossible for the group to...

This kind of stuff happened in my games too! But it's not that hard to manage. If you need to change something in the game setting, you just do it. The players are already changing cannon by playing in the setting. They're heroes that might accomplish great things and their accomplishments will...

I find it kind of sad that you blame it on the Forgotten Realms when the real issue is a DM that needs to a grow pair. "Guys let's play in my original version of the Forgotten Realms" isn't that difficult to say, especially to friends.

I guess it's a matter of personal taste. I just find their plots average and cliché. They're still fun to read and run but they're the kind of stories you forget a few months later. Some adventures are so good that I still remember the details 25 years later. These adventures haven't been...

Try things like adding 3e-style save or die effects (and not save or save or save or die effects) without screwing up the class/power balance. If you add a proper save or die, you need to modify every other daily power to make them comparable to your save or die. If you increase the power of...
