I don't expect 5.5e to last very long. I expect it will last about as long as 3.0e. I expect it won't be different enough for many people to justify spending their money on what they perceive to be the same material from past books. It will be a bit like Monsters of the Multiverse. I suspect...

This hypothetical gaming group appears to want to neutralize the challenge that darkness presents. I agree it would be best to not force that challenge upon them. However, are there other challenges that this gaming group would also wish to neutralize? Afterall, darkness is one of the easiest...

Without, of course, introducing unnecessary complexity to the game, given that complexity is a colligative property of rules interplay rather than a property of individual rules.

I, personally, have come to accept that there needs to be a balance between reality and movie logic; which means there will be movie logic in the balance. Maybe more than I would like, maybe less. I am annoyed by the ability to drink a healing portion as a bonus action in combat. I am...

If I recall correctly, 5th edition is officially just called Dungeons and Dragons, and this current incarnation, too, is simply called Dungeons and Dragons.

I'm on my way to Gen Con. Heading across Missouri right now. Anyone else on their way to the convention right now? Got a trunk full of games and a head full of dreams.

No, no, no, noooo! This is my time and I will not be denied the recognition long due to my generation. Ahh, it feels so good to bask in the light of popularity.

Yes! I very much want to play such a game. I like Fifth Edition a lot, but I don't like the direction it has gone. I want a game with modern advancements and old school sensibilities. Or, better yet, I want a game that is modular and can be modified to each tables' tastes. If you like lots of...

I feel like Kelsey Dione reached into Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition and fished out the very heart of the game. I'm playing and running it a bit of late but I'm still trying to get the feel of it. I use monsters and and items from Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition as well as from Level Up. I've...

Shadowdark is built for dungeon crawls but it has rules for outdoor and urban adventuring too. You just don't have to worry about not being able to see in the dark.

No, that's not the last thing on the list.

Does anybody have any comments about the last item on the list? :p

Funny, I was thinking the exact same thing when I wrote it. But, I'm shooting from the hip. Thinking with my heart, rather than my brain. It doesn't matter if it is right, because, of it doesn't feel right then it's wrong.

We're concerned with mammoths but no body's talking about the second thing on the list.

I think fiction needs to be balanced with nonfiction. Which means there will be fiction in the balance.

My apologies, my first language is English. Maybe I should have phrased my comment more like this: "I see a lot of responses that seem to assume we are making suggestions for a fantasy setting, or even a specific setting like Middle Earth. Should we be doing that? What about simply considering...

Are we assuming that the setting is neolithic Faerun/Toril/Middle Earth/etc.? Could it be neolithic Earth or would that be too boring?

I agree. It is best look to movies and books here rather than science.

I think it suggests that human intelligence as expressed through the written word is very predictable. Indeed I think we all have felt the treadmill of people rehashing old ideas over and over again with the same phrases and word patterns. Now, I'm not saying that novel ideas never arise from...

Look, I'm just saying that myself and millions of other people are using GPTs to save time and be more productive. And if they're so random and unintelligent, then what does that say about human intelligence? And I agree, they're advancing really quickly. Everyday it is getting harder and...
