    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    Fair enough, ph0rk, but a ten-year span of time does not take into consideration the predictions of imminent publication within three years that I was responding to on the previous page and in the early pages of this forum thread. Ten years is a long time and, frankly, it's not much of a...

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    Ok, I understand. We have different perspectives with regard to that, and that's cool. Thanks for clarifying. Cheers!

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    Respectfully, Minigiant, I do not see this logic taking into consideration the 5th edition emphasis on storylines. At the time of the 5th edition roll out, the design team (Mike Mearls, Chris Perkins, Jeremy Crawford, for example) were very clear that the emphasis is moving Dungeons & Dragons...

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    I see where you are coming from and respect this, although I am not sure I entirely agree (I am still contemplating). The reason I think I disagree is that this latest edition of D&D seems predicated upon an ethos of making the game as easy to learn out-of-the-box as reasonable while meeting...

    D&D 5E (2014) Volo's 5e vs Tasha's 5e where do you see 5e heading?

    I am surprised at how many people think this is the case. As someone who has been playing for a long, long time, let me assert here that I think the natural development of the game that we saw in Tasha's is absolutely nothing like a 5.5 edition. Further, let me lay out here that I think 5th...

    I Don't Feel Inspired to Consume Media Anymore

    This is wisdom. Well said.

    D&D General What is your favorite D&D cosmology?

    I love the contributions here...loving the images...thanks! I voted "All or most of them," but I do really love Dungeon Mastering Spelljammer. I also love having characters traverse the planes.

    D&D 5E (2014) Everything We Know About The Ravenloft Book

    I don't know about nasal spray, but I have noticed that acclimation occurs after many circuits of Gaea around Sol.

    D&D 5E (2014) Everything We Know About The Ravenloft Book

    Well said Urriak Uruk. Of course, Disgruntled Hobbit may be missing elements that he cherishes in this new book, and I feel for him...I wish everyone would get what they want in each new book. I mean, I love Spelljammer and DMed it in the 1990s and I am hoping that Wizards publishes a 5th...

    D&D General What Is Your D&D Survivor Edition?

    5e was the simple pick for me. I have appreciated every version and the great friends I have made every step of the way. But 5e D&D plays so well, the game is so elegant, and the books so beautiful I am frequently in awe. Cheers, friends!

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Head Talks Future Plans (Sort Of)

    We'll see. I do not know what you have in mind, Whizbang, when you write "a lightly cleaned up 5E." If you have in mind what others have written that it will be an anniversary edition with new artwork with some minor reorganization of information, then I think that is likely. Wizards certainly...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Head Talks Future Plans (Sort Of)

    Whatever they do, as long as it is not some attempt to create a new iteration of the entire game, I will be a happy camper.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Head Talks Future Plans (Sort Of)

    I couldn't agree more. I think some of the ideas that others express, for example Jaeger's suggestions about getting rid of spell level, are fine but would be better as a mechanical foundation for a different game. I think it is asking too much of D&D to change every few years as tastes and...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Head Talks Future Plans (Sort Of)

    Well, we'll see...it will be fun to observe. If I was prognosticating, I would say it will be much longer before a new edition...much, much longer. But, I left my crystal ball in a pocket dimension...so we can just sit back and see what happens.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Head Talks Future Plans (Sort Of)

    Ruin, I think that you are spot on in that the design principles of 5th edition have kept the Psionicist/Mystic/Psion from being published as a class...for now. Yet, those same principles did end up producing a great class in the Artificer...although I am hoping for some more subclasses for the...

    D&D General On Grognardism...

    I realize I am not answering Sabathius's original post question, but I can only echo Sormonu here. I came into the game in 1980, although I was quite young then still. I find 5th edition the version I play and preferable for me in every area...including in book design and art. That sometimes...

    D&D 5E (2014) Tales from the Yawning Portal as a campaign

    Good idea as pals swapping stories and having the adventures as back stories. :D
