Sounds like we watched completely different shows.

Sigh. If the "revelation" is that the evil twin really isn't Evil, only misunderstood, please allow me to roll eyes. As if such a beautiful young female really couldn't be evil... (Cue the two sisters happily reunited going off to fight Mr. Proto-Sith) In other words, not sure that's an...

Lol, lemme stop you right there. If you're going to approach all these with the the expectation these modules will make sense, as if the game was Quasi-Medieval Life Simulator, you're gonna get a whole lot of disappointment. It's like reviewing Pirates of the Caribbean and saying "it was...

I watched the two episodes but honestly, I still don't have an answer to "why should I watch this?" I mean, I liked the care they put into that town, but I don't know what to do with the focus on the "evil" twin. Watching a show where the tension comes from "will the protagonist get away with...

Of course, as you know, nobody needs to prove that. It is arguing the opposite, that AI is copyvio (and to do so in court) that's the relevant thing to discuss.

Not sure what you mean when you talk about "participants". You don't mean players vs other players. Unless you mean DM vs players (example: 5E player characters don't play by the same rules as 5E monsters and NPCs) I don't know what you mean.

AI is here to stay. That's all you need to know. Best is to ignore this panic best you can. All their efforts are doomed to fail anyway. Plus, it's a very small minority. Focus on the positives, since they are huge: AI is a net gain to humanity. The state where only a small subset of...

We're only eleven posts in but we've already had two self-necros here.

No, a new game is (drum roll please) a game that is self-contained: you only need that book or those books to play. But that branches off from 5E. That's an attempt to start something new. Away from 5E. Something that isn't 5E. I want to keep playing 5E. I want to play 5E, but better. And so...

No, they're just striking out on their own, while I want to keep playing 5E. I'm not interested ≠ their effort is bad. One aspect of those efforts can be considered bad or misguided, however. That is if they started out with aims similar to mine - to "fix 5E". Then it represents losing their...

I googled that game and it took me all of 5 seconds to understand this is a complete game of its own. It isn't 5th Edition. What makes everyone do that?* What's so hard about wanting to keep playing 5E, just with the most egregious bugbears fixed? *) Obviously I know the answer to that...

Well, for the systems that are covered by this hypothetical product, I want to be able to pretend this was how D&D worked all along. So for classes, I'm not interested in making them work with the existing classes. Imagine a reimagined set of classes that just happens to unlock the potential...

You are getting the gist correctly. And you are giving a good example why so many efforts go awry, ending up as completely separate games... which defeats the point of starting out in the first place! Not least because history is littered with the corpses of would-be D&D fixes or "killers"...

Could be. Not familiar with their work. "Greatly increase player options but doesn't fundamentally change 5e" is right on the spot though!

No, I'm talking about a hypothetical 3PP add-on that you don't have to purchase or use. Stop trying to stop me from getting what I want and need for my 5E games. You already have what you want - no (useful) magic item prices - in vanilla 5E.

You miss my point. I don't want a new game. I want to play 5E with added options. All those publishers that create new books that replace the 5E PHB/DMG/MM miss this point too.

Generally I felt I needed to vent after seeing a discussion on DC20, yet another game that at first blush appears to fix 5E but quickly turns out to be its own game, and thus not 5E anymore. I want just one effort to not republish a variant PHB but instead strive to reformulate the 5E classes...

I'd like to ask you to stop shilling your LU blog in this thread. Do feel free to start a new thread for that, and then discuss 5E and what it needs in this thread. Thank you.

I think the whole point of the 2024 rules is to make everybody repurchase all their 5E books. ;)

Yes. Why do you phrase that as some kind of obstacle?
