I don't know if there is a lot that he could add to clarify his position. He does not want to make his 'source' uncomfortable and WotC is pretty far from finalizing anything about 1D&D. It is a rumor that Indestructoboy puts a lot of credence in. I would like him to post here on ENWorld, not to...

I do not think he was intentionally posting this to generate clicks. As you said, his posting history is not clickbait titles. I think he heard something from someone whose opinion he trusts and there was a lot of telephone game happening in this rumor chain. There is very little meat about this...

It worked. A lot of us clicked.

My knickers remain untwisted. Maybe this 'rumor' is a trial balloon to gauge the audience's reaction? Until there is an announcement with more details I can't get worked up about it. The OGL is the OGL. Not having an updated SRD might be annoying but as long as 1D&D is truly backward compatible...

I find it odd that we as gamers argue over rules semantics, RaW vs RaI, and ask for clarification all the time. We demand errata for unclear or bad rules, but somehow when people ask for social clarification of what is being presented, "Did you really mean to reference Minstrel Shows from Jim...

I agree that DR is problematic in D&D. I am simply saying that more armor types would be fluff rather than mechanics. A DR system may require more or less armor. Check out Mr. Rhexx idea for armor. Fewer types of armor would strip away fluff and flavor for simplifying something that is already...

Just don't click on the thread anymore. You have agency.

Wow. So that happened. I think having another set of eyes look for blindspots in pre-published material is a good thing. Editors are good. Copy Editors are good too. These are people divorced from the production of the material and can focus on things that the designers and developers juggle...

Here is the thing, you don't get to tell other people to be okay with something they find upsetting. You often do not get a chance to offer your weak apologia for tone-deaf art and fluff. A person picking up Spelljammer and seeing minstrel art repurposed for a monkey race and then a white...

Armor Class is such an abstraction, I don't see what additional armors bring to the table. If we changed from armor granting AC bonus to a DR system, I could see more granularity, but mostly more armor would be fluff rather than mechanic.

This is good. It should have been best practice after the Curse of Strahd revisions, but it will make for better content going forward so definitely not too late. The Spelljammer 5E mistakes were just so glaring especially when the previous release was Radiant Citadel. I imagine it was humbling...

Wow. That is gorgeous. I feel transported back in time almost 40 years... Thank you, Stormonu for sharing!

DL:WoK seems like an odd duck for a board game. There is limited replay value if they are counting on people not opening card packs until they come up in-game. The premise doesn't sound very different from Battle Interactives in the old Living series of RPGA campaigns. I don't know that there is...

Hmm, 60 page thread on psionics I somehow missed. Sorry. I will just give the Cliff Notes version of why I want psionics. Vancian Spellcasting sucks. I hate it. It doesn't even represent its namesake in fiction. I want a magic system that has its power come from the caster, not the 'weave' A...

The point of having an ambush monster is to provide the PCs with a different type of encounter. The loss of player agency in a kidnapping is the crux of the problem. Typically, you wind up having a solo encounter until the rest of the party can get to the ambushed PC or you have a running battle...

Well, of course, the adventure has to be able to run without the board game and vice versa. You can just use narrative defaults instead of the outcome of the board game. Some people use Theater of the Mind for combat, some use a battlemat, and some skip combat altogether. The trick is the 6...

As someone who liked the stories set in Krynn in novels and short stories, but hated playing in Krynn in the modules, I am intrigued with a mild reboot. I also want to see how the board game mass combat and adventure interconnect, as that could be an interesting path forward for new settings.

At best, I could see a discount on the 2024 versions. I, too, do not see anything but full price regardless of prior purchase.

A Pie filter? Another blog uses a pie filter turning filtered people's posts into long love letters to pie.

First off: Baggins, James Baggins. James Bond is a halfling with the Lucky feat is hilarious. Second, what are we discussing anymore? The sacred cows are all enshrined now. There will be no holy bbq in the One D&D playtest. Spells are the default resolution mechanic for anything beyond a simple...
