This ideal does not work with the reality of the human population, and the OGL fiasco proved that what is written cannot be relied on.

The issue we run into, of course, is that forgiveness leans toward diminishing returns, and WotC allows as many of those bad things to stay in place as they can get away with. They have broadcast a desire to be bad, even if they have shown to be responsive when called out loudly enough. They...

I have a similar story, though a few decades forward with WotC. Even got a couple rounds of interviews, but not the gig. Hooray for the RPG to tech pipeline!

In case it wasn't cleared up already, WotC is in Renton, not Seattle. It's at least a 30 min drive away from Seattle during the week, and over an hour by bus. It's closer to Bellevue and Redmond. That said, if anyone here gets the job I'll be happy to introduce you to the local wider game dev...

Raw Nature and Organic Nature are frequently at odds. Life vastly alters the elements, creating substances and forms that cannot exist otherwise. Spirits are generally somewhere between Raw and Organic or Either and Divine.

Paizo is doing great as is. It'll be nice if the player base continues to grow, and new revenue streams come on, but the important thing is that it remains sustainable so people can keep their jobs and players and GMs can get continued support.

True, though it remains largely compatible. We're still using PF2.0 adventures in PFS, and you could still play a kenku just fine before Player Core 2 came out.

The Ravenloft book gets a lot of praise. I haven't actually seen any praise for the PS books other than "It's fine I guess." It's a C+ product at best. Editing was pretty good at least. The indie version was much better and far, far more comprehensive.

Company went too far down the path of evil Rules look bad, and 5E already had rules issues Planescape hack job was deeply frustrating D&D has become a weird mix of creatively stale and thematically clumsy. They remix old things poorly or else try to be creative but land on random or cliche, and...

Yes, by having something with answers to use instead of a hundred pages of arguments. "SableWyvern's List of Rules Interpretations" is going to be less of a headache than trying to figure out the conclusion of a bunch of rules arguments. Many people, when faced with an angry wall of text, will...

Which reminds me, one of the big barriers to many activities is space. Things like motion controls and VR struggle partly because they have a huge space demand that people often cannot afford, and similarly a lot of people just don't have the space for a game-sized table, even if they used...

People get frustrated and go do something else. The thread topic is "Making sure everyone can play D&D"

Yes.

1,000 page document versus 100,000 pages of internet arguments.

Things which are easy for some can be hard for others, and a small easy success now can help people build toward greater challenges. This is why we HAVE things like Basic sets and Starter boxes.

There are numerous threads on the topic, but it's just an example. In every edition, there are gaps that end up in something like a "Sage Advice" article, errata, Crawford posts, etc. These gaps take time to fill, if they ever do get filled, from official sources, so default unofficial advice...

"Can you see through someone using the Invisibility spell", etc.

A list of default DM decisions to fill all the rules gaps and ambiguities so the new DMs don't melt down trying to figure things out, and players can have an idea on how their character works.

Is there something that says the invisible condition allows line of sight? The point of asking the question is that being invisible doesn't seem to alter the passage of light.

Anything stopping a person from using an invisible object to hide behind?
