    Less new, but more better.

    ToV So What's In Kobold Press' BLACK FLAG First Playtest?

    I think of it as more of a teaser, and a way to get feedback on their initial ideas. The core fantasy flavor is strong--no confused planer furries--and there is a little more choice without adding much complexity to the 5e core. Options still have to be balanced...the elves are doing well, as...

    Ginny Di interviews WotC's Kyle Brink

    It was the more concise, higher gloss version of these interviews. Her conclusions were good ones: trust community commons, but WotC, no quite so much.

    Its generally better to roll low.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which easier to remember (for you)? (On Saving Throws & Spell Durations)

    Specifically ends on a save. But AD&D certainly did have all those variable lengths.

    D&D 5E (2014) Which easier to remember (for you)? (On Saving Throws & Spell Durations)

    This actually goes back to 3e as a nerf (and you had to track rounds, so very 3e). But yes saves. If its on your character, you have an incentive to remember!

    OGL: Kobold Press 'Raising Our Flag' For New Open RPG

    Also, they edited the blog, its now "lineage" and heritage.

    OGL: Kobold Press 'Raising Our Flag' For New Open RPG

    Talents, I think, are part of char gen, though could also be feat replacements. In any case we have (at least) 2 competing paralel playtests to for the next "evolution" of 5e. From the latest Black Flag Update Email:

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    Actually, you are saying all this. He certainly did not say it was just a "tweak". What a waste of time if it was. But people can listen to the interview and draw their own conclusions.

    Kyle Brink (D&D Exec Producer) On OGL Controversy & One D&D (Summary)

    There was a lot there. Behind it all does seem to be the Disney version of the owlbear. But as I said in other threads, at least this was all over something important. He danced around calling out the other faction--the not his team--that seemed to be driving the proposed OGL and still look...

    D&D 5E (2024) What are the top 3 things, above all else, you want from One DnD?

    So I am doing 5, as it’s still 5e… 1) fixed monster/encounter math (I think we will mostly get this) 2) nerfing this and boosting that to get better balance across options (again this will happen, hopefully enough) 3) Giving 1 and 2, otherwise keeping as much core 5e assumptions as possible...

    D&D 5E (2024) Where is the new OneD&D playtest?

    They should release a playtest packet that is really good, and shows that they have actually been taking on past survey feedback. That is definitely their best option.

    Experiences growing up a fan of Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Roleplaying games, etc.

    Was the early 90s a low point in mainstream fantasy fandom? Maybe, though it could still be cool to be into vampires, certain comic books, jrpgs annd 40k in certain circles …and the geeky subcultures were always there. But then things really did change.

    D&D 5E (2014) Amazon US book sales rank.

    Vault is $30 on both Roll20 and D&D Beyond (digital). Book-beyond bundle is $60. Presumably a lot of sales are or will be going through these.

    D&D 5E (2024) So Will 'OneD&D' (6E) Actually Be Backwards Compatible?

    The numbers in the book often don't match that table in the DMG, and are frequently lower. There is also the bigger issue of encounter building and stuff per day, which almost certainly will be touched on. But there is also MM math. Preview? You mean in some recent book(s)? They have also...

    D&D 5E (2024) So Will 'OneD&D' (6E) Actually Be Backwards Compatible?

    If they don’t fix the MM monster math, this is a total waste of time.

    D&D 5E (2024) So Will 'OneD&D' (6E) Actually Be Backwards Compatible?

    Oh there will be all sorts of nerfing. But if you have the old PCs with the new nerfs how will that go? And will it be compatible?

    D&D 5E (2024) So Will 'OneD&D' (6E) Actually Be Backwards Compatible?

    Define compatible…. math and terminology will be generally compatible, but much will be different in the details. Most 5.50 PCs > 5.0 PCs. Same for MM monsters.

    OGL: Kobold Press 'Raising Our Flag' For New Open RPG

    "Regardless of what comes, Project Black Flag maintains core compatibility with the 5E products you already know and love, but with a Kobold spin." They see a chance to make BF the 5E PF, and are going for it! Which I think is great. Very much looking forward to it.
