I started D&D back in the day with one shot modules and it became my preferred format. Modern adventures can drag on too long, but were the only option available (other than making your own) So, yes, a short campaign is something I'd like to see more of.

Like many others have said, taking a break is a good way to avoid burnout, but I would also add allow others to GM for a while. Doing so will give them an appreciation for how demanding GMing can be.

Oh, you mean this? I had no idea until I Googled it. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amber_Diceless_Roleplaying_Game

For D&D to have less dominance in the industry. Further quality of life updates to VTT's, making them easier to run and more accessible. I already have a set of amber dice.

So, what does the under 25 demographic want from from D&D?

Renew!

troglodytes. fireball. burnt fish smell.

Sure. There are plenty of people who don't have the time, motivation, or creativity/inspiration to do it themselves, even with the assistance of AI.

How is using AI to reduce costs a "herald of doom"? Reducing costs would be beneficial to WoTC and D&D.

My guess is that they are either ramping up to replace creators with AI, or they want new/lower paid creators to reduce costs, or they plan to go strictly in the licensing route, and allow third party creators to produce new content.

It takes a lack of sales which is driven by sustained interest. You may have a great launch/successful Kickstarter, but if you can't keep the customer engaged or bring in new customers, it's likely to peter out.

I know that China doesn't determine what you charge the end consumer for the product. But in a controlled economy such as China, the government could (and does) subsidize various industries, which allows the manufacturing company to sell the product to you at a price that maintains it's price...

Yes, that's true, but China wants to maintain it's dominance, so it may be willing to sell below costs in the short term.

But your OP was about shaming a player for not knowing the physics of hydrogen... "When I asked him how the environmental catastrophe was averted, he gave me the "shocked Pikachu face". So, realism does matter to some degree. Even to you. Each person draws the line of their "suspension of...

..when normalized for body size.... Which brings me back to my original point about size/strength differences. Why am I the only person that provided sources so far?...

There are links in the information I provided... Including the Wikipedia article. But still, you provide nothing. Get back to me when you can quote a "scholarly article" that counters the information I posted. Otherwise, the assumption is that you're just blowing smoke.

Here's more data. I'm the only one providing data. Instead of being snarky and arrogant, how about providing a counter-argument with your own sources? And yes, I know the difference between physical strength and tensile strength. No, it is not physically possible for a 3-foot-tall humanoid to...

"The square-cube law states that as an object's size increases, its surface area increases proportionally to the square of the scaling factor, while its volume (and therefore mass) increases proportionally to the cube of the scaling factor. This means that the ratio of mass to surface area...

There are people who insist that a 3 foot tall humanoid can be intrinsically stronger than a 7 foot tall humanoid. Science says "nope"...

It doesn't include Pathfinder, so it must be wrong. ;)
