Don't plan to switch, stick with 2014 (house ruled). And Switch to another game system.

A few other recent polls: https://www.enworld.org/threads/have-the-2024-phb-reveals-changed-your-intentions-re-purchasing-d-d-2024-25.705837/ https://www.enworld.org/threads/youre-not-planning-on-getting-2024-d-d-why-is-that.706092/

You have lots of GMing experience, so I think you'll get an intuition for how to gauge 5e fight difficulty pretty quick. Best thing I've found is if you have a combat for an upcoming session that you're pretty sure will happen, share a quick blurb of what you're thinking on ENWorld – 5e, # PCs...

So... there's a "multiple monster XP modifier." In scenes with lots of monsters you don't use RAW XP for encounter building maths in 5e – it gets adjusted by this "multiple monster XP modifier" due to just how big of a factor having an action economy advantage is. I'll attach a snapshot of what...

This is something I put together to articulate my own process more clearly. There's a lot of art to it, and the Adventuring Day Budget "Approx. Max %" is something I developed wholly by feel with my play groups and playtested up to 12th level. My point is YMMV. But the principles here are sound...

One mind flayer can wreck a party in formation within 60 feet if they roll bad on their save vs. wands – being stunned/unable to act for 3d4 rounds is...it's a death sentence if the mind flayer has any minions. So some of this depends on specifics of the scene / scenario. Well, not some, MOST...

Admittedly, Dungeons & Dragons is a much bigger business today than it was 10 years ago. And it has a larger fanbase and a larger pool of radiance in which to fish for potential buyers for the new rulebooks. That could mean Hasbro will get a bigger lift this time around than last time. Rich...

I'll probably break this down further in a week or two, but so far here's what I am observing... We know that about half of previous survey-responding ENWorlders want to get 2024 D&D, and about 1/3rd do not want to get 2024 D&D. I want to be clear that I'm not discounting the folks voting "I'm...

GM POST "Aye, I'm inclined to agree. This part of the temple seems untouched by the undead." Brydum surveys the ominous passage with furrowed brows. "And you'll be leading those toads out of here, so there'll be no more menaces. Unless you've the desire to delve further... I'll vouch for you...

Yeah! It wasn't like my 1st level fighter in AD&D was a veteran of some battle already... checks AD&D and OD&D level titles Er.... ;)

@SlyFlourish I was able to thread together my first clear connection that WotC/Hasbro's push toward digitalization IS indeed influencing the design of the 2024 TTRPG. At least this is the clearest connection I've heard about. First, a strong caveat: This could turn out to be false, if the...

Ah, apologies, that wasn't clear to me.

He's extremely gracious.

I highly recommend watching Jorphdan's latest video summarizing his experience with getting his video copyright striked. He's thorough and, from my perspective very understanding and forgiving. edit: Apparently, you'll need to hop over to YouTube to watch it. 13 minutes.

What on earth? I was trying to be as clear as possible that the poll was directed to a niche of folks not interested in purchasing D&D. I say as much. It's not about assuming anything about overall purchasing trends. I say as much. I cite the previous poll that we had on ENWorld. Whatever...

You either die a GM, or live long enough to see yourself become a designer. ;)
