Can't have nuance in D&D now, the 5e newbs will find it "too complex" and may walk away without opening their wallets to WotC.

Pretty sure there's a HUGE difference between "My magic comes from massive studies of arcane texts" and "my magic is innate and stems from a mystical connection via some magical influence, possibly from a bloodline with a magically-inclined ancestry" Also huge difference between being able to...

I find it stupid. I mean it's fine if the game isn't serious on story-elements and it's just a mere hack&slash, kick-in-the-door kind of game, but I refuse to deal with contrived situations and events everytime someone doesn't show. You're taking me away from the story with such nonsensical...

The story was completely arbitrary. Clearly a DM who hasn't done it long enough. I don't understand why the author didn't just NPC (as in, he controls the characters whom the players are missing from the table) or give the characters to the remaining players for them to run (basically some of...

Curious how they'll handle adding in classes to the setting that didn't exist before, at least as far as I'm aware: Artificer Bard Druid Monk Paladin Ranger Sorcerer Warlock Far as I know, none of these classes had a prominent NPC that I can recall. Friend of mine said one of the novels did...

Typical WotC destroying lore. They couldn't add a sidebar on their Dance of Ruin in 5e or something? Or was that "too complicated" for the casual masses of money pits they call customers?

Wish I was head of D&D. I'd bring back all the editions, publish material for all 5 of them, bring back Dragon and Dungeon Magazine, allow content creators to publish on the DMs Guild material for any edition they want, release all NDA on the Forgotten Realms and rework the problematic parts of...

No idea why he didn't also request royalties. Or some measure of autonomy. I, for one, could never sell my creation without some level of authority and monetary gain.

Can WotC hire some of their writers to redo "Maztica" because D&D sorely needs a setting that's not heavily Euro-fantasy for once. Garbage company for not coming out with a Psionics system for 5e or remastering Kara-Tur for Eastern fantasy setting.

Can't wait to see how they'll butcher my first, and favorite, setting of all: Planescape.

Not hard to review these 5e books. Has extra content for you to use, very light, very simple, very watered down to easily digest. No where near as good as the original from previous editions, however. The End.

I'm just waiting on the Druid players who plan to harass their DMs on how they can wildshape into owlbears since that's definitely not an official rule that can be done (maybe in some DMs Guild 3PP though). This is what happens when WotC takes forever to create more rules content for the game...

Does this mean we'll finally get a remastered and culturally appropriate Kara-Tur setting again? Or will WotC chicken out as usual?

Ironically, we got the best and most material for D&D during those times. I prefer that over the measly scraps WotC puts out every few months. I miss seeing several new D&D material a month from the combination of published products to Dragon and Dungeon Magazine combined

Oh wow, look at that, yet another edition. Woop dee doo. Can't they just stop this new edition crap? So damn stupid to one day be in my 70s and see D&D 14th Edition! The game should have stayed in 3e. Would have been such an awesome D&D game to have products from 2008-current for 3e. Such a...

Yeah and sales numbers does not mean good quality. Just look how hard 4e tanked soon after, as I always expected.

"Advanced 5e" :rolleyes: What's wrong with bringing 3.5e back and showcasing that?!

This is what happens when you commericialize games far too much. Wish it was the TSR days, minus the mismanagement and lack of social progression.

And that's my biggest issue with WotC and how they have been treating D&D. I'm perfectly fine with catering to casuals and rookies. But NOT at the cost of trashing/ignoring/deleting/butchering/watering-down/simplifying everything the veterans loved. Everything that pretty much were the...

I really really hate the new spellcasting blocks. Just...why? Why was this done? How does this make it "easier" for DMs? I have no idea the caster level of the monster. I have no idea up to what spell levels they have access to because of that or how many spell slots they have. What it looks...
