I LOVE Tome of Beasts and Creature Codex, but sadly rarely use them since I'm so integrated with DDB for running my sessions, so this is awesome news! Hope CC isn't far behind.

Gloomstalker Drow Ranger is a ton of fun, not OP but lots of cool options.

Quite possibly, if it leads to advancements in AI that help us crack the fusion problem. The solution to humanity's current problems doesn't rest with using less energy, it lies in using much, much more. And again if not for the doomsaying about nuclear fission power last century, we'd be in a...

Fair enough, though I would argue that your issue is not with AI or capitalism (which are tools), but rather with the laws we use to ensure that those tools are put to good use for society. You see the negative side of capitalism, I see billions of people lifted out of poverty and leading...

I don't get this inherent hatred for AI. Unlike blockchain and NFTs (which at their heart aren't bad ideas, the concept of trustless protocols is a good one, but also unfortunately so complicated for an average user that you end up having to put a traditional layer of web2 protocols on top of...

Very interesting read so far, some great ideas (love how Damage Thresholds, HP, Armor and Stress interact), but can already tell there is no way this game would work for my table, as it puts way too much on the players.

Depends on if they decide to expand the core cast. Take the 8 now but add in another 3-4, and you could have two tables (I'm guessing Liam DMs Daggerheart while Mercer sticks with Exandria) of 5pcs playing two nights a week. Because the entire cast is 'full time' they can swap back and forth...

Rather than picking based on popularity, I've tried to imagine who wins in a Level 20 fight between each class, leading to Fighters disproving caster supremacy once and for all! As a side note, would be great fun to have an official Level 20 vs Level 20 PvP cage match for each of these to go...

As long as it's in the same genre, the problem will persist, but EVE online has successfully captured a big share of the MMORPG market by appealing to a completely different group with a different type of game. That's why I'm wondering why no one is seriously going after a Modern Superhero or...

I think as long as competitors create systems that are primarily Medieval/Renaissance Fantasy based, they'll have difficulty with pulling away market share from D&D. That said, I think a good Sci-Fantasy or Modern Superhero Fantasy system would have a shot at capturing total TTRPG market share...

Had forgotten about that, and thinking about it more I guess it really does do the job well enough. Things missing from 2024 like weapons masteries for fighters might just add additional complexity for true beginners that isn't strictly necessary. Still, they could start printing new ones...

DoS is great, but they would need to at least update it with the new 2024 rules for it to still work as a single purchase introduction to the current D&D ruleset, right? Given the shift to the 'multi-verse' as the core setting, I wonder if they might set a new starter adventure in a 'generic'...

Hit me last night that among the 2024 lineup announcements, no mention was made of a 2024 Starter set. Can't imagine there won't be one at all, so wondering if they just haven't locked down a date for it or if instead of coming out before the PHB like the 2014 Starter set did it will come in...

She had a pretty big NPC role in Tyranny of Dragons and a cameo in Out of the Abyss. Mentioned in the SCAG as well.

Wish works in mysterious ways, I love this set-up! Gonna have to get cranking on Rime of the Frostmaiden to be ready to go!

@Clint_L what do you use for chat/video/voice chat when you use maps? The one thing keeping me on Roll20 right now is the integrated chat/voice/video.

I was wondering something similar, focused more on what DMs will allow for building PCs. A) 2024 Only B) 2014/2024 Mix - DM Custom C) 2014/2024 Mix - PCs fully built with one or the other, including spells, feats, species, backgrounds, MC rules, etc (ie no using 2024 Spells with 2014 base...

I wasn't thinking that but the analogy does work. After all, on DDB, you do 'lease' the content, you just lease it for as long as the service exists. At any rate, I was responding to your concern that the lower price points would 'devalue' the product. But offering a lower price point to...

Right, but in this case, the discount is about upgrading to iPhone 15 from 14, rather than setting the price lower. New customers pay the same $29.99 they are now.
