Larion raised consumer expectations to a level that other developers will not be willing or able to meet or exceed, IMO.

"Left to spend more time with her family" is usually code for a forced resignation. Didn't see that, so it's probably voluntary.

I attack the cleric. There is nothing worse than having to deal with a PC a second time that you just took down because the cleric brough them back up. The clerics healing essentially nullifies the attack the BBEG just made. If the BBEG is in such dire straights that one more attack will take...

I let my players choose their gods, and I use their choices as the "Pantheon". They can choose anything they want from any tradition, or make up their own. It doesn't matter to me, as long as it's meaningful to them.

"The doors of Eden" by Adrian Tchaikovsky https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/48643567 It has some interesting ideas mingled with a lot of chase scenes - which starts to get a bit tedious. I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

One way to reduce the cost of books is to buy the .pdf versions instead. I know that probably doesn't sit well with most people here, but it's the quickest and most direct way to reduce spending on TTRPGs. Or alternatively waiting for a sale or buying the books second hand.

Yes, it does matter. There should always be consequences (favorable or unfavorable) for for how they interact with the world and the NPCs within. And talking rudely to someone is certainly worth a roll of the dice. It's OK for the GM to drop hints and act as a "second thought" for the PCs - but...

"Older D&D players, says ICv2, are also migrating to other games, with Pathfinder as one of the major beneficiaries." - raises hand - I just so happen to be part of that statistic... :)

I'm going to purchase the .pdf just because I want all of my remaster core books "in sync". Not necessary, but that's just me. However, I've seen some previews, and I'm not a fan of the "cutesy-fying" of some of the monsters, and I agree with GuardianLurker re: ghoul - seems like a very odd change.

5E is 10 years old. It was due for a revision How much of a revision is needed is up for debate. Whether people will like the revision - time will tell.

I heard somewhere that their next project would be DOS3

What if your a 1st level PC with 10 hp and you CON is 15? In that case a single point of damage would kill you.

Over $300. Yikes... I spent enough on Lego when my son was a child.:)

Random selection in this case has potential bias as well because only people who want to take the survey will (just because someone is randomly selected doesn't mean that they'll choose to take the survey) and those motivated enough to do so are likely have strong opinions in either direction.

In addition to a number of channels mentioned by the OP, I like Dungeoncraft. https://www.youtube.com/@DUNGEONCRAFT1

Yea, they are similar. The last time I mentioned the similarity, I was told that I was seeing things.

I didn't romance anyone. That's not why I play games, but apparently BG3 is the most successful dating sim ever.

First time played rogue ever.

My players had an easy time with the adventure...until they encountered the BBEG.

I try to follow the rules to the letter whenever possible, but I'm not going to thwart fun or creativity if the rules (or lack of rules) get in the way.
