I just want a copy of the Leverage rpg that isn't hundreds of dollars please.

All dndBeyond exclusives that are not tied to an IP.

Because Wisdom is their dump stat.

A lot of affection for this back in the day, but if it's a reprint/edit without a system refresh, it's likely it wouldn't appeal to my current table. Still aiming to get Mutants in the Now for Xmas.

For me, balance matters when you pass an inflection point, where PC A is so much more effective than PC B, that it makes PC B feel like they didn't need to attend the game. Its always a struggle. I have found speaking with players who overclock their characters to restrain themselves a touch...

I think one solution for this is diversifying crunch. Xanathar's and Tasha's both expanded existing rules (Subclasses. New Spells) but also gave new systems (Patrons). While I dont say no to more of the same (I always need more monsters and magic items), what can really pull me in are new...

Side point: If we could continue to improve release quality before quantity, that would be great.... (Looking at you Spelljammer)

If I had to have a number on it, I'd say I would be happy with 3-5 releases per year, with the admission that all I really want are core books (rules, monsters, ect) and Setting books that have rules potential. Adventures are usually not my bag unless they also have some rules supplementation.

A point I often make about game adaptation, ie, wishing people would try games other than D&D, is asking what each of us are doing to evangelize our hobby. When was the last time you spoke with enthusiasm to a non-gamer about our hobby? when was the last time you brought a totally new player to...

I would be curious to see how the 5e release cadence stacks up against the 1st ed of AD&D.

Anecdotal I know, but my in-laws (Sister and Brother in law and their 3 children) all have cited Stranger Things as what instilled in them a desire to try D&D. It's in the mix, but I agree it's not going to be a sole/primary cause overall.

As there is discussion of the release pace of 3rd/3.5, as someone who was there and buying a great deal of it, I still didn't get more than 50-60% of the overall D&D print materials. 2nd ed was similar. I must have bought near a dozen boxed sets for multiple settings. No regrets except that I...

It's a provocative statement, clearly. I think the notion can be engaged honestly, but part of that is recognizing that it is coming from someone in the process of developing an alternative.

TBH, I have been waiting for a cash sink for PCs as they pass the mid lvl mark.

I havent crunched the rules themselves, but I love the concept. Birthright anyone?

As a follow up. I am looking at the aggressive advertising I am seeing for The MC4 with the Eldraine monsters, and I can't help but feel this is just more testing the waters. MC content has been free for subscribers up until now. $5.99 for 25 creatures. Not the worst of deals, considering that...

Force damage should just be folded into Thunder damage or vice versa.

I had a Flind. Always had a soft spot for Flinds since the Fiend Folio and a good Dragon Mag article on them I think.

Im running into this now with players requesting the ability to have toilets in the small house they have just acquired.

So yeah. 5e Spelljammer is a letdown. It's a "C" product, which is most hurt by its price point structure. I have a lot of affection for the setting going back to 2e, but this just failed to give me needed systems. I would be better served going on Drivethru and selectively picking up 2e...
