I believe the Tiamat and Bahamut entries in the lore glossary also mention the first world

We have 5-6 depending on who shows up. At those numbers right around level +10 is appropriate for a real challenge (risking TPK). Anything less than that is basically a guaranted win IME I just checked the new DMG guidelines and is what we do falls in line with the 2024 hard encounter. So I...

Notice I said a CR appropriate solo which is in the CR 24-26 range. So your are looking at AC in the 20-22 range (against our typical +10 to hit).

I believe the MCDM game is using damage only, not to hit rolls.

We limit the whole thing, decision to resolution, to 30 seconds per participant. It has made our games so much more fun. I heard Mike Mearls talking about the game he is working on recently aand he also expressed the positive impact RL time constraints can have on game play. His players said...

Well the 65% baee assumes no magic items. So it makes sense to adjust things if you use magic items at least. We don’t use magic items in our game and at level 15 we have around a 50% base hit rate on CR appropriate solos. 5e really does work better with no magic items IMO.

5e was designed to have a 65% bit rate which is indeed higher than many earlier editions. And a complicating factor is that rate is accurate only if you don’t give the PCs magic weapons. So, if you give the PCs magic weapons, and you want to have the same hit rate, then you do need to increase...

I don’t understand this sentence

I think so too - and some of the overall TTRPG market with it I would guess

Just wanted to point out that the OP is not about how it would affect you, but what you think the effect would be on the market / TTRPGs/D&D

Actually, if you read the OP again you will see Hasbro hasn’t folded. WotC is no more and Hasbro puts D&D in the Vault. Additionallly, the OP mentions Hasbro gets litigious about defending it IP Sorry I haven’t read the rest of your post yet because it was clearly based on a false assumption. I...

Not really, the premise is they have left the market or no longer exist. It is right there in the OP. So it is everyone else’s problem really

What I was asking was: can WotC shut it down? They don’t own it, but lt since it is their IP I assume so?

That may be the best reason I have heard for WotC closing

Yep, and I think any non-IP gaps would be quickly filled.

My first question would be how does this apply to the DMs Guild? I assume all of that goes away in your scenario, but I am not sure what that license says.

You are going to want to up the CR to at least CR20 if you want the fight to even start to be interesting with 5-6 level 9-11 PCs

Ok, I guess I see what you’re doing. I just don’t normally see it explained that way. Typically I see a cost for PDF only, cost for Book only, and a cost for the two together.

I think the question is: why are you making so little profit off the print version?

Back on topic, excited for the book and hope it is available soon!
