Me too. That would be salt-tastic man

If the company does not care about retaining long time players, there is a disconnect perhaps. I don’t think Uni and Prato are necessarily a thing 20 year old are into nowadays. And Greyhawk…why put that in the dmg? Why publish 5e conversions to 1-3e modules? Either A,. long time gamers...

Whoops double posted

Good for you! It just has not meant as much to my group. Then again sense usually just adventuring with very little domain building and we don’t buy sell magic much either. I like 5e…but a few things are less fun that they used to be (treasure, magic)

Gold for experience made is lust after treasure. We were so pumped to find a trove…whether we fought a monster or avoided it did not matter… It was almost addictive for my group. Once that went away I just stopped caring. Add to that the amount of abilities characters have and buying magic...

Nope. My immediate response is to be pleasant and cooperative unless someone was genuinely antagonistic. This includes people with way different life views and gaming preferences. At least for the short term, real contact usually melts away the negative. Now if I tried to meet regularly for a...

The narrative I have seen a lot of places including this site is that the new generation is the only one that matter from money generation to tastes that impact the bottom line. All that I assert is that this has not been the case either in how 5e was made nor in how “I strongly suspect” the...

…someone must always poop in the punch bowl.

Sure. I don’t fight either. If I don’t like it I won’t buy it. My pals and I are usually of a like mind and use the same stuff so it’s never an issue. If I went to a con or game store I would just conform and play what they are playing or not play.

If grogs did not matter, we would not have Greyhawk in the dmg nor the D&D cartoon art and references/characters. In terms of spending, I went from a second hand buying borrowing high school kid to a professional with some gray in my beard buying most of the books, multiple copies of core and...

The definition of balance is in flux. Strengths and weaknesses in 1e, experience table and limitations, level limits and more were are aimed at balance without balancing things on the same way. Worked as intended. Fast forward to 4e…way different goal and definitions. I just play. Had tons...

Followers for the win! I had a 10th level Lawful Good cleric of tyr. Making it to “high priest” was such a big deal! He had a whopping 13 str but a +2 mace was the bomb! So fun…

Variety is good unless it ruins your previous choices. I have never regretted lower levels knowing higher levels exist. Rarely we player higher level characters. That option though rarely achieved, hurts nothing… Even more so in the 1e days! To dream and strive!!! Don’t like it? Stop...

Went on vacation with wife and kids and took some minis, the wet erase mat…worked like a charm. For travel in particular I find that an outstanding option.

Frankly that when we were teens and we harassed our buddy the dm no end when he invariably saw it differently in his minds eye.

I have a big game table with a 6’ x 4’ grid map for dungeons. Lots of terrain and minis. But… The tear down and set up takes. Lot of time. Not to mention it reduces table space! But I can never go back to TOM anymore. I remember the arguments back in the day and no thanks. When my pal DMs...

Going back to the halving days of my teens, I have always rankled at “should” in D&D. Play what you want. But of course choices have consequences. 5e ends up being as much about capabilities as classes. I think you can choose to not be good in all areas as a party. And it’s fine with me. I...

it’s already being said. Withdrawn.

Being able interrupt a spell with a1hp of damage from dart did not hurt either. Not the craptastic AC that meant a near aighted kobold would probably hit…quarterback and football comes to mind.
