Look at the adventures published for 5E. THOSE are the stories they are trying to tell. D&D is not reaching for other fantasy anymore (if it ever did) -- it is its own genre and has been for decades.

These are two different things, but you aren't wrong.

Again, the key is to build in dials so that folks don't have to argue about how deadly or superheroic D&D is -- they just set the dials where they want them, and they are all still playing D&D and engaging in that shared experience and community.

Except that CoC still reissues their most popular modules, right?

Well, for 2024 all it means is literally "can use the 2014 adventures." That's all they ever promised.

This feels like a contradiction. Can you elaborate?

Training costs.

Probably "race." Long ago the term was much more closely analogous to "nationality" before "nations" were a thing.

I am surprised no one else ever tried again -- even with one of the other pillars like Mortal Combat.

Superman as punk because it is about hope is a real thing right now.

It's almost as if that is the definition of "magic."

What would you have it be used for?

Another thought: how should a theoretical 6E treat loot and treasure rewards? What place do piles of silver and/or magic items have in D&D going forward. Should the game be aiming for Diablo style loot drops? Or should it be minimized or excised entirely?

You have invented Draw Steel!

Something else that this may do: perhaps these adventures will be more cohesive and built with more internal consistency -- at least 3 chapters at a time.

What any given person says what D&D is tells you more about them than D&D.

Difficulty is not the only axis. You need dials for lots of things.

Between Red Sonja and this, are we seeing a Fantasy B-Movie Renaissance?
