I guess I have come to the conclusion that a lot of rules should mostly get out of the way. Like I said in another post, I don't think stealth and hiding rules are that important. Make them a check adjudicated by the DM - good for me (and my group for the past 30 years).

That depends what you mean by "normal monster creation rules." I 100% think I can design a non-legendary monster with the monster creation rules that can be a threatening, and most likely interesting, "solo" monster.* Whether or not WotC has done that is debatable and whether you consider my...

Sure, my point is that if something interest you can be largely a factor of you and not XYZ company.

IDK. As I have gotten older I prefer some rules to be vague and more like guidelines or suggestions then rules. For example, I don't really think I need much stealth and hiding rules. We just go with what is common sense to us, and it has worked for decades through multiple editions! Reminds me...

How do you figure? Other people could find the same offerings as an almost unbearable bounty. Isn't whether or not something interest up to our interest? Is not really on a company to cater to any specific interest, but a large group of interest. Seems to me that you not liking something is at...

IDK, I think I will agree to disagree: 3e: The start of the WotC era. Eberron was pretty interesting / innovative. Not my preferred style of D&D, but interesting and better thought out than a lot of 2e settings 3.5 draconomicon is the gold standard for TTRPG dragon books IMO Standardizing...

Why?

I did notice the horned dragon looked a lot like the green, but I was think about the 4e green and completely forgot the PF green had the same look! I am not really a fan of the changes they made to it (the strange scales), but it is one of the better / best IMO in the Monster Core. Its funny...

Nah, you can design a solo monster without LA that can threaten a party. It is just the LA typically make it more interesting.

Well, not according to the OP.

Nothing much would happen to my games. For D&D: I think it would be a bad thing. It would splinter and sink. Without one big market leader casual players would not jump in and the game would slowly wither. Not sure if it would die, but it would end up in a sorry place.

That may be the case, but what about CC and ORC?

Is there a particular reason they can't use them in the ORC license? They are still in the OGL and, I believe, in CC now too. I am not familiar with how ORC works, but I would assume Paizo could use things that have alternate open licenses. I know I can use the OGL and CC versions of D&D in one...

Thanks. This really seems more complex and detailed than needed to me, but I haven't given it much thought (not really an issue at my table). Makes me wonder how Shadowdark handles stealth and hiding. EDIT: Here are the Shadowdark rules. They work for me I think.

That is fine. However, that is a completely different justification than the one you gave in your previous post. I was simply responding to the previous justification, which I believed was based on a false premise.
