Has anyone considered that there are people who don’t care that BG3 is D&D? Sometimes people just want to play a game and don’t want to crawl into the weeds on who made it and where the rules come from. I know I don’t care where the D&D rules come from when I’m playing actual D&D.

It was a joke my friend. Simmer down.

Is “arithmetical” a real word?!?* *the preceding question is an indictment of the quality of my education. Most games, toys, puzzles etc. have an intended age group label. Is it gatekeeping when a game is marked “intended for ages 12 and older”? That age grouping might be for reading level...

I’m a stock clerk. I leave the bigger decisions to other people so I can just complain about the people who are complaining about them.

I think we are farther from an AI created edition than people realize.

I’d expect them to dump 5e and return to the “you pay us for licensing” model. I’d expect a new edition. I’d expect a hard hard push for moving a few steps closer to becoming a mostly digital product. I’d like to see a return to maybe a basic edition with advanced optional rules. Perhaps...

We’ll see the outcome when it happens I guess.

Isms are bad. I live here on earth where realism wins the day. Businesses are in business to make make money. Once the project is done; you don’t need a project lead anymore until the next project. Rinse and repeat for most project related titles. This behavior being good or bad is up to...

But then why would I need to interact with any of you fine people at all? 😎

This is how many larger companies work. It’s not WotC specific in any way.

I don’t compare video games with TTRPGS.

I didn’t read the article. I get all my news from the comments section. 😉

How much complaining about what that knowledge had been putting out has their been?

When the new project comes along; someone will do their jobs.

Does no one think that swapping out the old timers (good luck to them all) and bringing in fresh perspectives might be good?

Does it? No one can agree how stealth and hiding works. 😂

I mean problem in the sense that this issue seems to take up a lot of real state on the boards. When I’m DMing I just look at the map and make decisions. I’m never going to messer square corners and diagonals etc and debate game theory.

I'd say he's hidden from 1, 2 and 3. If he moves then 3 might be able to notice him. If 5 shouts....he's over here...then everyone knows he's there. I'd say that with blindsight....the creature could make some kind of skill check (i hate skill checks) or search roll if they are actively looking...

The main problem with hiding are the facing rules or lack thereof. If an opponent can be facing any direction at all times, then the moment you break cover they are going to be looking at you unless the DM decides otherwise. This is why you don't have to be "behind" an opponent to "backstab" them.

According to…someone on Reddit… “The "Three Pillars" of modern D&D are not combat, exploration and social interaction. They are combat, character creation (90% of which is for combat) and spellcasting (90% of which is for combat).” I’m converting to this religion. 🤓
