For what it's worth... when I created the planar cosmology for the game I DM, and I've used a similar system since AD&D, I wanted the the following factors to come into play: - Resembles what is in the book. - Includes a home plane for all creatures. - Simple for the DM to use and explain. -...

The campaign world is a geographically exaggerated version of our planet, that features most of our great mythological cultures from our past. Humans, purebloods and those with tainted bloodlines (aasimars, tieflings, various gith, elemental bloodlines, etc). Dwarves, including gnomes. Elves...

Sorry, I reserve the right to feel as disappointed as I choose. We'll see how much technology infiltrates into the standard game.

I'm extremely disappointed in the content. I want magic... not guns, bombs and dynamite. And I don't want aliens either.

If I was to create a magic item for myself or an ally, I would consider placing a curse on it that would not be much of a detriment for the intended user, but would be a real detriment to an enemy. Additionally, a curse would make items a bit less powerful. I would not curse all of them, maybe...

The DMG is considered to be a core book, meaning that every player is expected to get one. I like the idea of only having character creation information in the PHB, such as info on stats, races, classes, backgrounds, skills, feats, equipment and spells. All monsters should be in one of the MMs...

In 4e lower level wizards were "magic missile users", in 5e they are "fire bolt users".

A good use for the wizard is as a hireling spell-battery for a combatant with one of these rings.

I've use our own planet as my campaign setting in every edition since AD&D. The geography is enhanced to be more extreme, and I usually include some ancient civilizations in their mythological prime. In my last Pathfinder game I started everyone in Constantinople, adopted from White Wolf's Dark...

That is a very likely use... least likely would be five find familiar spells.

Beta version.

Typical artisan work can be done at 5 gold worth of goods per day, and material costs half that. However this would not require that the artisan be any greater than first level. Scrolls cost 50 gold per level to write, and take two hours per level. However it takes a higher level spellcaster to...

As DM, I did not always show my dice rolls. Sometimes I overrode the dice to keep a player alive, and other times I chose to have a player be hit by a monster. I see my role as being one to assure a fun game, not to follow the dice.

Kill off the rest of the party, and play them all as ghosts.

I had a 3.5e character that took the ghost template, and DMed for some also. It is a powerful supplement for a 5e character, I would suggest a LA of 4.

True Strike and the Expeditious Retreat and Longstrider spells are purely for combat with mobility thrown in. Prestidigitation and the Find Familiar ritual are for role playing flavor. . Thank you, I wish the rules were stated so clearly. I read it and reread it many times, and did not get...

The definition of "most": http://www.thefreedictionary.com/most As in a majority, or more than (or equal to) any other school? As measured by quantity, or by rank? And how do you weigh cantrips? The rules are not "clearly stated if you read the full entry for the subclass". . If we want to...

I wanted the Prestidigitation and True Strike cantrips, and the level one spells Expeditious Retreat and Longstrider, and the Find Familiar ritual. None are Abjuration or Evocation. I figured at seventh level with War Magic, my True Strike cantrip could be used the next round.

The wording used in the PHB is "focus their attention". If interpreted as a suggestion, I'd be good with that. But if limited to Abjuration and Evocation (with very minor first level exceptions), the sub-class is of no interest to me. I guess it's up to individual DM to interpret works best for...

Very limited options for first level spells (only) at 8th, 14th and 20th levels. Most of the spells people want to select are unavailable to the Eldritch Knight. No Mage Hand, Mending, Message, Minor Image, Poison Spray, Prestidigitation or True Strike. No Charm Person, Color Spray, Detect...
