As long as it's in the same genre, the problem will persist, but EVE online has successfully captured a big share of the MMORPG market by appealing to a completely different group with a different type of game. That's why I'm wondering why no one is seriously going after a Modern Superhero or...

I think as long as competitors create systems that are primarily Medieval/Renaissance Fantasy based, they'll have difficulty with pulling away market share from D&D. That said, I think a good Sci-Fantasy or Modern Superhero Fantasy system would have a shot at capturing total TTRPG market share...

Had forgotten about that, and thinking about it more I guess it really does do the job well enough. Things missing from 2024 like weapons masteries for fighters might just add additional complexity for true beginners that isn't strictly necessary. Still, they could start printing new ones...

DoS is great, but they would need to at least update it with the new 2024 rules for it to still work as a single purchase introduction to the current D&D ruleset, right? Given the shift to the 'multi-verse' as the core setting, I wonder if they might set a new starter adventure in a 'generic'...

Hit me last night that among the 2024 lineup announcements, no mention was made of a 2024 Starter set. Can't imagine there won't be one at all, so wondering if they just haven't locked down a date for it or if instead of coming out before the PHB like the 2014 Starter set did it will come in...

She had a pretty big NPC role in Tyranny of Dragons and a cameo in Out of the Abyss. Mentioned in the SCAG as well.

Wish works in mysterious ways, I love this set-up! Gonna have to get cranking on Rime of the Frostmaiden to be ready to go!

@Clint_L what do you use for chat/video/voice chat when you use maps? The one thing keeping me on Roll20 right now is the integrated chat/voice/video.

I was wondering something similar, focused more on what DMs will allow for building PCs. A) 2024 Only B) 2014/2024 Mix - DM Custom C) 2014/2024 Mix - PCs fully built with one or the other, including spells, feats, species, backgrounds, MC rules, etc (ie no using 2024 Spells with 2014 base...

I wasn't thinking that but the analogy does work. After all, on DDB, you do 'lease' the content, you just lease it for as long as the service exists. At any rate, I was responding to your concern that the lower price points would 'devalue' the product. But offering a lower price point to...

Right, but in this case, the discount is about upgrading to iPhone 15 from 14, rather than setting the price lower. New customers pay the same $29.99 they are now.

Well, that depends on how many fewer units and how much higher a price. If they convert 100,000 users to 2024 at $19.99 but they would have converted only 60,000 users at $29.99, they're better off at the lower price point. Whatever the price is will be determined by what existing users are...

I didn't speculate on subscription access and the VTT add ons, which is where I think the attempts to increase monetization will come in. This is more about getting adoption of the 2024 Core rules as quickly as possible, and everything else builds off of that.

Yes, this is strictly about pricing on D&D Beyond.

Pure speculation here, but thought it might make for an interesting discussion since this will be the first time that a Core rules revision will be available in a digital format from the start, and with a huge user base. Here's what I'm guessing for the PHB, which is based on believing that...

A Mastermind Rogue can be an excellent party face, just have her take her expertise in persuasion and deception (and then insight and investigation at level 6 for additional utility in this type of campaign). If the other rogue went the more traditional thieves tools/stealth/slight of hand...

Yes. Taking a DM break to play my final 2014 PC from now till September and then will be spinning up a new campaign for my group with the new PHB rules in October/November. Looking forward to it all!

Taking a DM break and my wife is going to run Frostmaiden for us and now follow it up with Eve of Ruin! Don't think I'll run again until the new PHB is out, giving me plenty of time to develop my next home brew world.

I had tried to read the books years ago but couldn't get thru the first one. After the second season of the show finished I was hooked enough to give the books another try, and am now halfway thru book 4 and will likely finish the series before the next season of the show comes out. I've found...

Ha, to each their own, I'm loving both WoT and RoP on Amazon. Some of the best fantasy TV I've ever seen.
