It sounds like this could be fun, so go for it! I don't think it needs any kind of mechanical support. Just be ready to kill off the imp if the rest of the players don't enjoy it, or get tired of it after a while.

What did you think about the rest of my post?

I like to say that the story is the tale of what actually happens during the game, while the plot is the DM's plan for what can/will happen. Depending on the game the plot can have a major or minor impact on how the story ends up.

In some versions of the lore, mind flayers don't have souls, so they don't seem to be strictly necessary for all living creatures. For ordinary mortals, the soul is the vessel for the personality, so a person without a soul is just a catatonic body, an empty shell. They may respond to basic...

"Might be", but I'm not seeing significant value to anyone for GI Joe or any of the other washed-out properties Hasbro is sitting on. I'm sure they'd sell if the price was right, but the right price might not be enough money to cover the supposed hole in Hasbro's finances. The idea that "D&D is...

But who would buy GI Joe? If a business is bleeding money and needs to sell assets to raise cash fast, they're going to have to sell something that's actually valuable.

One well-known observation in project management is that tasks expand to fill the time allocated to them. If you don't have any deadline, then the work will never be completed. Something like a rulebook is never fully "ready", there's always going to be something that can be improved. Also...

Not a class, but the Commoner from the monster manual seems most appropriate.

Sadly, 2024 monsters will almost never trigger the feat since they don't cast spells, they have special abilities that do the same things as spells but don't count as spellcasting.

This is like two seagulls figthing over a french fry, only for a bicyclist to ride over the potato stick and crush it into the ground. Suddenly both birds step away and pretend they never wanted it in the first place.

There's a reason the chase rules are in the DMG, the DM will have to adjucate all these things.

It's not so hard. Players: We run away! DM: Ok, we'll switch to the chase rules. (The real problem is that the chase rules are less than great, but at least they exist)

There are chase rules in the DMG for resolving running away, you don't have to treat it as a combat encounter.

It's hard to be scared when your party is the scariest thing in the room. D&D is perhaps a horror story... for the monsters!

Thriller is definitely on the supernatural side, with all the zombies and vampires in the music video. One of Michael Jackson's best works!

Not all horror stories are speculative fiction. Slasher movies for example are set in the present time and often don't have any supernatural elements.

Anyone can refer to their product as 6th edition. Only WotC can refer to a product as Dungeons & Dragons, since that term is still trademarked.

If WotC were to release a D&D miniatures wargame, they'd probably be best off releasing it with a brand new setting, tailor-made with a bunch of distinct factions at constant war.

That's what you should always be doing as a DM if you want to beat the players in combat. Spreading attacks around is a waste no matter what the party composition is.

Yes, there are tons on My Mini Factory.
