I understand that, especially for a campaign that has run as long as yours. My comment was more about the times DMs have to bend or twist the background features to make them work. Which, I think can happen often, especially in tailored adventure paths like Ravenloft or Avernus.

There are no published adventures that renders a background feature useless. There are DMs that might not be able to figure out how to incorporate the background feature. Or there are DMs that don't want to do the extra work it will take to incorporate the background feature. But there are zero...

This deserves its own post, if not thread.

I really like those last two. Very endearing.

This was Bing's AI image creator.

I didn't see much sketch art, so I will throw this in. This was a single prompt with no revisions.

I like the cover art better than the actual Vecna adventure cover art. Great scene depicted there.

I see. They were compatible, but the time frame of the release meant they didn't really have to be compatible.

Oops... maybe I answered too soon. Thank you both for the answers.

Thanks Hussar. I must have remembered it incorrectly. And the time frame, I do remember it being a bit quick, but two years - wow! Thanks again for the answer.

Thank you. I appreciate the answer, especially from someone with your perspective. But, and I could be wrong, I remember them consistently stating that 3rd edition was compatible with 3.5. Am I remembering that wrong?

I feel like this is a very fair sentiment. It, at the very least, should be acknowledged, and then answered if possible. I personally do not know the answer, so I am curious.

I think this is an important designation. I mean, it doesn't even have to be the two extremes. It could be people at the table have buy in, but this one player really wants to see how this class feature or something from the "new" plays out. And that is the slippery slope. I don't think, at...

I am not tip-toeing around anything. The thread asked if you will adopt the new edition. I said yes, and then expanded the discussion by stating that most will adopt - even if they think they won't. And the reasons for that are... ☝️ this. Thank you for proving my point. The DM really is the...

I was being hyperbolic to prove a point. Also, the MMORPG statistics are very clear, a very large majority will choose the stronger archetype when the choice is clear.

Players will choose what is right for them. Some players that want to be great in combat will choose any broken combo they can. Others won't dive deep enough to figure out the broken combos. And others will actively avoid them and instead play based off the story and their roleplay. None of...

I would like the forum to know that in a few years after 2024 comes out, they will only use the 2024 version on the official D&D site. This will make the adoption even more widespread, as so few young players seem to own the books. They just look stuff up online. D&D Beyond and whatever VTT they...

For most DMs, it is not an authoritarian table. It is a group game, and everyone gets a vote. So while you may not want to deal with power creep, the players might want to have a (fill in the class) that they consider better.

Ok. I see your side. I just don't agree. I consider Pathfinder, both editions, different games from D&D. But your view seems equally valid.
