    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    I forgot about the 4e Game System License and its' poison pill. There goes my Insight and Perception checks.

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    That and the number of players and D&D enthusiasts switching over to PF1 for something that looked like the D&D they were familiar with. 4e to some was a pretty radical departure from 3e. True, they don't want history to repeat itself. However, while they are trying to avoid repeating old...

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    Will 6e borrow what worked for its' 5e-adjacent rivals? ;) 5.5 sort of did this when they moved ASIs from species to background.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should 3PP upgrade their books to 2024 versions?

    It also helps when you know that some of A5e's designers frequent these forums and give you a chance to interact with them.

    D&D 5E (2014) Should 3PP upgrade their books to 2024 versions?

    Not if the 3pp in question already looks better than 5.0 or 5.5 in terms of lore and game mechanics.

    Okay. I was assuming he meant an Arcana check because of the word, behold, as in Beholder.

    What kind of power I am beholding? :) Rolls an Arcana check.

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    I can imagine the consumers having the same kind of response when it comes to other RPGs that were built off of 5e, like Level Up and Tales of the Valiant. "It looks like 5e. Could it be better than 5e?"

    If Sarcasm was a skill, you just succeeded at your Charisma (Sarcasm) check. ;)

    D&D 5E (2014) I feel like the surveys gaslit WotC about """"Backwards Compatibility""""

    Which subclasses did you convert for A5e? Level Up has Synergy Feat Chains for anyone who wants to multiclass between two classes. They're sort of like Level Up's take on a Prestige class. Ex. The Bladechanter Synergy Feat Prerequisite 3 levels in fighter, 3 levels in wizard, Fighting Style...

    D&D 5E (2024) Specifying 5e

    They also don't want their consumers to be thinking of their competitors' products, including those that were built off of their own work. Businesses are almost always copying each other's work.

    D&D 5E (2024) Specifying 5e

    That's not very likely, D&D has been around for 50 years.

    D&D 5E (2024) Specifying 5e

    Perfectly happy? No such thing. :p We might do as they hoped and stopped talking about 5E14 altogether, but that wouldn't stop some of us from comparing and contrasting the newly revised rules with the 5E adjacent material. ;) Some of which is likely to be better than the revised rules. :p

    D&D 5E (2024) Specifying 5e

    We need to go back and grandfather in the new nomenclature for 3e and 3.5e. ;)

    "Promising hints of life on distant planet"

    This would depend on who designed the AI and what values were installed in its' initial programming. As for The Songs of a Distant Earth, it was written well before AI was a twinkle in its' creators' eyes. If the novel was written today, there probably would be concerns of allowing a colony of...

    D&D 5E (2024) Specifying 5e

    Only if you consider 5.5 to be another name for A5e/Level Up. ;) Which I happily will do. :p

    D&D 5E (2024) Specifying 5e

    I picked 5.5 vs 5.0 but could easily go with @Shardstone 's idea of 5e and 5r.

    "Promising hints of life on distant planet"

    True. Then there is Embryonic Space Colonization. Embryo space colonization - Wikipedia From Wikipedia: Embryo space colonization is a theoretical interstellar space colonization concept that involves sending a robotic mission to a habitable terrestrial planet, dwarf planet, minor planet or...

    "Promising hints of life on distant planet"

    This fact would have to be drummed into the heads of the individuals taking this relativistic trip to any star system beyond Earth. And such a crew would have to be picked from those who don't have any serious attachments back home or to Earth itself. The Earth you left isn't going to be the...

    "Promising hints of life on distant planet"

    Anyone remember that scene from the first Men In Black movie where Agent K explained to Agent J about how humans fail their Insight check whenever they get together? ;)
