jeez, even shorter than I thought it was. Hope they can make a version that is not tied to Talisman, never considered that a plus anyway

yeah, you basically recommend they make a 6e you are not being tempted by, interesting take ;)

Can't speak for anyone else, but I came at it with what I would like D&D to be like, then thought about what mechanics fit that and that is when I wrote those down. That most of these exist in some TTRPGs and I happen to know / mention them for some does not mean that I want D&D to be more like...

I don't think anyone said that all magic ruins medieval fantasy, so a rare and low level magic example does not really refute anything that was actually said. Heck even the Palantirs are mostly lost or difficult / dangerous to use, so even the sending part cannot actually happen, despite the...

Sending is a 3rd level spell, magic swords probably show up even before that. Continual Flame is 2nd level. So not really high magic at all…

I am not expecting most or even any of what I wrote to happen, but I would not say that none of this (or even all of it) could not be in a 6e and still have it be D&D. D&D has been a lot of different things over the years. I am not looking for 6e to be as little of a change from 5.5 as that was...

I assume you mean Shadow of the Demon Lord / Weird Wizard with this. If so, I fully agree

Been thinking about this for a while, I have conflicting goals / visions, so I needed to sort them out and go with the ones that better fit D&D. As it turns out, the most important ones are basically what Shadow of the Weird Wizard has done, which confirms to me why I prefer it over 5e. Get...

that complaint was not about balance though, but about players wanting more power

and Rope Trick and Tiny Hut make that attrition pretty hard as you basically have a refill on demand Either they need to remove these / make them a lot harder to achieve, or they need to move from a daily attrition model to a per encounter model, as little as I like those in theory

“We're trusting that the US government will keep their promised position on tariffs” feels like a pretty risky proposition

Talisman Adventures, I like the design, but it did not last very long

You do not have to do that, I do that already ;) It’s a definition for heroic, no better or worse than any dictionary. If I had written ‘according to Webster’s’ and put the same quote there, I doubt you would have bat an eyelash

but they are pulling their weight, the others have the same limitation. that’s unfortunate, I would not have quoted it if it hadn’t made sense. Usually I go with the first search entry, which for this would be some dictionary definition, but since there now is an AI entry above it, I went with...

arguably 5e already does that, either that, or it gets undermined at the table. All the spells that let you bypass it by allowing rest / food anywhere do not help that system at all

you can just skip over entire weeks in that case, the guideline is for the actual adventure part

yeah, at a minimum I would add Luck and Doom for metacurrencies. That is probably enough though.

If you are being dropped points for it, are you still wanting to do the right thing? Doing the right thing when there are no negative consequences is easy. You asked how DS promotes heroic play, ChatGPT says 'Someone is considered heroic due to acts of bravery, selflessness, and determination...

the knowledge that you are doing the right thing yes, I would. In the real world I may not be less or more powerful based on what I choose, but I can face bigger risk and be persecuted more directly for them. Yet plenty of people stand for what is right, despite the cost As the saying goes...

who cares how many books were sold overall (BX to 4e) when the comparison is between PF1 and 4e I don’t think PF1 is not D&D (3e) to begin with, making this comparison meaningless
