In terms of starting this fast growing thread, the motivation is not semantics or the “e” word. It’s that WotC is on the record that this is a lot of change. If we take them at their word, then it’s all kinds of different. And better, as there is very strong encouragement to switch to 2024. But...

“Dungeons and Dragons 6” is pretty good.

I have had that same journey. In theory I would like to use XP for all sorts of things, but I know the hassle factor is to great in practice.

In this video: Jeremy Crawford goes out of his way to say how much has changed for the coming whatchamacallit. A lot of new! different! better! In fact he goes so far as to imply that there is as much change as there has ever been from one core to another. (Reworking I think is the exact...

There all in pdf…and this was early for PDF. I don’t remember if there was a search function, but it’s great resource in any case.

So these solutions…I regularly see threads here were one poster’s solution is definitely not another’s. I don’t really agree that RPGs have been “solved”. They have certainly been changed and varied, But almost always these variations create new issues which then require new solutions.

You can run both as is, or expand with DM effort (with ToEE perhaps requiring the most effort). As for Hommlet, it is meant as a longer term base—with that effort. And, the PCs should have some shock after there first foray to the moathouse, go back to town and start looking for help. Then it...

Lost Temple of Tharizdun was in the same mountains and had a linked map, with friendly gnomes who could host the party between the two adventures. I did run both, albeit in Transylvania (or technically the Carpathians).

Interesting. I guess the first level looked smaller, or with fewer rooms at least. Still have the big”outdoor” area.

The Barrier Peaks ship map looks like the same crashed ship, at least on a quick inspection of the images above. But apparently there were some changes?

I guess Village of Homlet and Lost City are not as new DM friendly, though they offer strong RP opportunities and, while potentially deadly, more of a learning curve for the PCs. New DMs, don’t be afraid…

Also not my favorite. For the classes it’s something here, something there. Probably 10% annoyance at the most. This is more like 35 to 40 % annoyance. Though at least it’s not 100%

….or eBay, which I guess is still a thing.

So available the next day on Noble Knight for…175?

It’s almost as if they are trying to encourage it.

I was very down on the 2024 aesthetic just before watching this….not anymore! Best of these videos yet.

First yes there are of lot of changes. I think we are approaching 1e to 2e or 3e to 3.5. But second, It does not feel like Next/5.0. Just no reason to be that excited. I have cleared the deck to run a 2024 game starting in September. And it could be the last that I run for this whatever it is.

Use to use yahoo meetiups. Is that still a thing? Reddit, our own ENWorld. Other hobby gamer groups or cafes were there still might be the RPG curious? Or go hybrid. Or don’t.

Yes. Would not mind some house rules to make all the classes a little more viable, like the first short rest of a day taking only 20 minutes.

The core class mechanics are still a little wonky, but they brought me back with the subclasses.
