Yea did buy and play lot of d20 stuff back then. The end result was that it burned me out of 3E faster then usual for a D&D Edition. And 5E is a edition that is based on feeling familiar and often republishing stuff that was already there instead of doing new and fresh stuff so tired of it...

Imho what will kill it at the end is the massive carbon footprint and that it can overload electricity grids. It a matter of time before more countries forbid it it. If I remember correctly so far its Iran, Kosovo and China. More will follow. Especially in countries where green parties are a...

Correct. But as others already have mentioned that is mostly a problem of the first 4E Monster Manual. They fixed the maths here quickly. D&D has a habit of the first MM always being the weakest one mechanically as the designers still learn about and get comfortable with their own new system...

I can only partly agree. As player I have fun with them as well. As a DM I no longer do. One of the reasons my group has been playing a different game then D&D the last two years was that they expected me to DM it. I no longer wanted to deal with all the work 5E demands. Monsters with spells...

Well not exactly but things move in that direction. I kind of expected that to happen as soon as as some years went by and the edition warring was done. 4E might have been a divisive edition but it had very interesting stuff going on. Especially when it comes to game mechanics and rules...

That switch to PB uses of abilities is not really my cup of tea. It adds too much bookkeeping for my taste. I am more comfortable with either "per combat" abilities (you can use short rest here very well) or a pool of resources that powers all abilities. Less hassle to track. But then I never...

Yes. But 5E is now old enough that old timers begin to forget and newcomers don't know. So they can start to reimplement things of 4E that worked very well. And there are quite a number of parts that did but got drowned out in the edition warring. And monsters especially the ones in the later...

Ah thank you for the hint. (y) Now I have found it. Talk about counter-intuitive shop set-up. Especially as the starter pack doesn't have the option to choose as PDF only. And that was the first thing I looked at. You need to go to the single books and change it there. But that small arrow for...

Looks interesting but I have so far not found a buy able PDF. Drivethru only seem to have some DLC but not the main book. :unsure: While on their homepage you can only buy a physical boo plus PDF combo. That one is right out for me with the current shipping costs. Do I look wrong at the wrong...

Well my biggest problem with the Anadi is that I have never heard about them until someone on rpg.net posted a rather cute picture of them....I missed out. I guess its time to change that and get the book. ;)

I have not much fear about the rules terms as much of the work is already done there. At first WotC just needs to do reprints. It fear more about them not the keeping pace with translating new english stuff. Also obvious mistakes like the famous Taschenlampe won't happen. It is more a fear of...

Yes Ulisses kept up with the translations. And that is something that never happened before for D&D in German language. AD&DII, 3E, 4E all failed there. Often badly. I always needed to buy D&D in English. And so the news that now WotC wants to translate themselves doesn't feel me with a lot of...

I probably played more D&D over the years then I played TDE. But still TDE has that siren song despite me having problems with a lot of it rules. I skipped the whole last edition of TDE (4E) and instead played D&D 3E and 4E. As soon as D&D 5e came out and I fund it disappointing I was...

Not really. Ulisses Spiele also translates Pathfinder. They are not concerned about D&D taking customers away from The Dark Eye as that game offers something that D&D cannot match in its current publication mode. The main selling point of TDE is it's very detailed and more then 30 year ongoing...

Probably true as kickstarter is by far the biggest platform for this. Although Ulisses Spiele might be the exception that makes a look at gameontabletop worth it just because of the high numbers involved. They use the platform as a pledge manager for most of the games that are already on your...
