I am going to answer the original post, as fascinating as the tangents have been. D&D goes to level 20 for tradition and the synergy with the 20 sided die. The fact that we are only discussing if levels 16-20, instead of 10 to 20 is telling. The top 20% is not for everyone, but it is a nice...

I imagine it would include less tinker gnome and giant space hamster stuff. Play up the fantastical that can be had in zero-g environs as opposed to traditional settings. The Astral Plane has always been the most space-like of the planes, right down to the silver air tubes for astronauts, I...

Someday I will get to run my Thundarr the Barbarian campaign with lasers, robots, sorcery and mutants. It is surprisingly easy to drop different levels of tech into a game when you stop worrying about making different mechanics for different weapons and technologies. Artificer works just as well...

I think it will be more specific. It will be the dwarven NPC voice. Scottish or German? Drunk or sober? 10 different versions that all end up sounding like Willy the Janitor from the Simpsons.

Paid by the word... up to 1000. You are getting 999-1000. Or how large a 1K word submission is for a complex trap? How much real estate such a submission unedited would take up in a page, digital or otherwise.

I love Spelljammer. I love the guano-loco nature of Ptolemaic space, the bizarre gravity, and air rules. The fact that the Elven Navy is a spent empire trying to hold onto past glory. The setting holds a special place in my heart. In the end, I could lose all of it to have my ship combat and...

I would run an extended playtest with transparent iterations and clear goals for changes. D&DNext was a good way to really show off what D&D could be. I am still mining stuff that was dropped off development. A couple of wish list items: Race becomes lineage Stat bonus moved to class Multiclass...

And they are very cool.

Talespire could be in a consortium with DDB and WotC to make a 3D tabletop. The missing component is who makes the virtual miniatures that will take up much of a cash shop along with tilesets for the map maker. I suppose BouncyRock could be in charge of the in-game assets, but they don't have...

I am surprised they haven't made a mobile RTS game like Rise of Civilizations or Clash of Kings. They are not overly complex and apparently are fantastically profitable. Total War: Dragonlance would be fantastic, but I assume GW and Warhammer would be nervous about market saturation. I would...

Flintlock Fantasy can be done without colonialism. McClellan's Powder Mage trilogy was a fantasy version of the French Revolution. The sequel trilogy did subsequently dive into the effects of colonialism on Fantasy North America, but is not necessary. The main thing is to incorporate the tech...

The survey was successful in getting me to join the official discord. I had not used it at all prior to today. So good for them? Also bring back the fey gnomes! Why wasn't that a question?

Fizban's Folio of the Draconic

I was going to spill the secret but WotC sent Jeremy Crawford and a rabid owlbear to make sure I do not. Jokes on them I have had my rabies and Crawford shot. Obvious future pitch is obvious. It has been promised before, many times. It is a no-brainer to expand D&D.

D&D movie is set in Forgotten Realms specifically Neverwinter.

Spelljammer confirmed. Why do we always try and combine SJ and PS? Why not other classic settings with Spelljammer? Dragonjammer, Spellhawk, Birthjammer...

Carrie? Occultist, Mentalist, but Psychic is the better term for the clairvoyant who can also be telekinetic. Or go WH40K and call it a Psyker

Yes! Open rituals for all characters. Focus magical combatants to be magical combatants, not Master of All Trades. Each pillar of the game should be separated and balanced separately from the others. Exploration should be balanced with exploration, social with social, and combat with combat. The...

Amen Sister! Preach.
