Heck, I will "like" a well reasoned and persuasive post even if I absolutely disagree with it!

All credit to Treantmonk for writing out the book text.

The reveals have not changed my decision to purchase it. I want to give them money so they are encouraged to keep making content for this fun game. That doesn't always mean the content they make is perfect for me, but I get more of what I like in the long run by investing. I also feel like...

Yeah, Treantmonk has outright said he and a few other creators are intentionally staggering videos to feed the algorithm. That said, anyone who wants to give the nice man $3 on Patreon can access 20 Treantmonk videos right now, with no commercials.

Agreed. I like having the ability to play a low-Cha sorcerer, warlock, etc. The more builds we can enable, the better.

Yeah, definitely looks like you can Rapier + Dagger still, it's just worded so you have to Dagger once before you poke them with the Rapier. So Rapier > Dagger > (B) Rapier.

I'm amused at the idea of a rogue repeatedly failing to hide when nobody is around.

Good review by Treant.

I toddled in on my father playing the original gold box Pool of Radiance, and asked him what it was. He nerded out a bit and talked about the characters he made in the game (named Elrond, Bilbo, Gandalf, etc), and a few stories about the original characters the names were based on. He let me sit...

I can't even help it. I get idle thoughts like "if they do X, then Y, else Z" just going about my day. Thinking about different scenarios and how they might play out is just a thing that happens to me.

Yeah, it's pre-recorded but what we see is a 4 hour block of mostly unedited footage. The only things that are edited are the intro section (those are filmed separately now) and the usual mid-session break (giving the actors much more time than the brief 15 minutes they used to have). They don't...

Agreed. Even when I'm a player, I tend to choose Option 2 a fair bit because I assume winning is the default state. You're going to win most fights, defeat most villains, overcome most challenges. Yes, you sometimes lose or run into a major complication, but at any given table you're probably...

The funny thing is that D&D has always allowed players to talk about possible plot beats between each other, make plans about how they are going to handle things, talk to the DM about background elements for your character that might show up later in game, etc. And it's clear to me that, besides...
