yes, with emphasis on ‘need’, i.e. plummeting sales. We / they will not see that or react to it for at least another 2-3 years (not that it is guaranteed to happen in the first place…) I don’t think there are plans for that today. If they started in 5 years they are reacting to the market /...

I do not think this is true, even if D&D went from 1-40, we would not agree on the mechanics and other stuff, even if the range would cover all our ‘styles’

one season is 2 to 2.5 years, that is plenty of time to earn some money. Maybe not Caribbean island money (for most islands worth buying), but Ferrari, why not…

If they started today, we would have it in what, two years at a minimum? They are not going to do that, so… 7-8 years? 3 or 5 seems definitely out

I was more focused on the last paragraph and took the ‘we don’t want 6e’ to mean we do not all want the same 6e and all want our individual version of it, not that we want to stay with 5.5

I could have told you that in post #2

I was replying to you, not answering for them

creation literally stayed the same, as you even wrote in your previous reply

the change is what happens after that, if the attribute value no longer exists and only the bonus does

you could just continue rolling the same way as now but only write down the bonus you derive from the value, not the value itself if rolling is so important to you. Personally I prefer an array

wasn't me, and a fuller quote shows the focus on D&D

I should ask you that… it’s right there “You might be the only one of your kind in the world, but there is no reason you can’t play the character you want to play”, “It’s possible to find individual members - or even small enclaves - of <all the races that are not part of the setting>” Contrast...

good thing we are discussing the 800lb gorilla then ;)

no, I am not excusing it, I am countering your idea that the players fighting for some advantage is actually giving them one.

I do not need to keep them in some gulag, I was fine with the whirlwind attack or groundstomp. I am fine with martials getting stronger, but I do not want them to catch up to casters, I want casters to be powered down and have the two meet in the middle

depends on how far you break the rules, but having to adjust encounters even with standard rules is not unheard of, and DCs are not all that hard to adjust either

at that point it really doesn’t matter what they hold in their hands, or indeed whether they hold anything at all

no sure which games this is referring to, but arrays and pointbuy are always options

we are changing the game either way, so why not address your points instead of making the sword work double duty as a bow

and that is why the settings are not particularly distinct… notice my solution was not to say that they are not allowed but to adopt them to DS the way the 2e races were (not necessarily the same twists, just not bog standard)
