This is inaccurate too. Most monsters are the same challenge between 2014 & 2024 (I know, I have done a lot of checking on this front). Some of the lower CR monsters actually dropped in power. Now, at higher CRs, around CR 17+ there definitely is an increase in power from 2014 to 2024 monsters...

I have been playing with mixed 2014 and 2024 material since the playtest. It is not a noticeable issue at our table. If you read the 5e forums here then you will see that a lot of people who are actually playing the game agree - there is not a lot of difference between 2014 & 2024 PCs. Pretty...

I think you are misunderstanding. It has little to do with the content. It is a time issue. I don't have the time or energy to investigate and play multiple systems. If I was playing PF2e or OSR or Fate or whatever, it would be the same reaction. I just don't have time for more than one system...

This the only comment in their FAQ: "World's Largest Dungeon has been in development for over 18 months, and is developed for Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition (2014). We will issue a free 2024 Conversion Guide PDF to all backers. This PDF will include guidance to beef up the encounters and bosses...

I am not really interested in that product, but the conversion packet interests me in that I find it an odd choice. There really should be a need to include one at all. The only thing I can think of is possibly adding origin feats to new classes? Does the book even have new classes, isn't it an...

That seems to be the 5e24 approach as well!

I don't think everything being magic needs to be a stumbling block, that is true with or without the Weave. I am sure there are more creative ways to handle it, but you could just say how psions access magic (the Weave or whatever you want to call it) doesn't defile, but how the arcane casters...

I guess I just don't see the need to address it. Its absence from 2024 books (and likely all non-setting books moving forward) does address the issue as far as I am concerned. I mean my games simple don't hang on every word and interpretation from WotC and I can't imagine many really do.

First, I specifically mentioned the 5e24 rules in my post, so yes that is what I was talking about. If you don't find it relevant they specifically took out the language about the Weave than there is nothing I an see other than I disagree. 5e24 and 5e14 are one system/edition, but that doesn't...

You must be speaking of the 2014 PHB, because it is not in the 2024 one (pg 205 is a page of Feats in the 2024 PHB). As my post noted I was talking about the 5e24 rules.

No, it has been completely removed from the 2024 books as I noted in later post.

While it may not be a bad thing, it isn't exactly a good thing either. I was just notice the issue / my faults. Gone are the days I had time to try/run three different systems in the same year (bless you '80s)!

Well we modified 5e in the first couple years to be our ideal system, so we don't really have anyone looking for another system either. That contributes to the issue as well. But again, my points was one of time not content. I don't have the time and energy to investigate other systems...

Oh I agree (and I have done a lot of that), but that is completely different from running a game in another system IME. We borrowed ideas from other games for frequently in the firt few years of 5e until we got a system we love, but now it is pretty stable. I really only go looking if we are...

I mean, realistically I feel this statement is true for about every class and monster in D&D, heck any RPG I've ever seen. I don't think that realization gets us much.

Yes - that does seem to be a trend IME as well!

Perhaps I missed but how is magic dependent on the Weave of Mystra? I mean she doesn't even exist in my setting! ;) Seriously though: I don't see any reference to the Weave in the PHB Chapter 7: Spells (I didn't check every spell though). I don't see any reference to the Weave in the Wizard...

It is alien in your mind, that doesn't mean it is alien to others or inherently alien at all.

I know it is out there, the poster I responded to seemed to imply that was the only new 5e content out there - and that has not been my experience.

I don't know that marketability is much of an issue. It seems to me there are lot of ways to market a new setting, including Dark Sun. Ease of design definitely could be in issue. WotC has previously not shown a lot of interesting in design settings. However, that is clearly changing. Those...
