the 6 abilities and their ranges, classes and levels, bounded accuracy, advantage / disadvantage, probably some other things

5.5 should have had that already, that it doesn’t is one of the reasons why I did not bother going with it. From a 6e I want more than that, but obviously different people want different things from ‘their’ 6e

maybe by people who have me blocked… As to SotWW, I definitely think there are ideas in there that are worth a look, and definitely would take from the class design idea with the three tiers (choose a novice class at first level, expert at 3rd and master at 7th - with the game compressing...

not a single post in this thread came even remotely close to suggesting that, so I am not sure what you are basing this on

I assumed that was for US print copies rather than the tariffs eating all profits. Can still be a significant chunk, but it is their decision and within their control. Shipping the books because you trust things stay the same is outside your control and can break you if things turn south, esp...

doesn’t WotC say to not worry about balance in your feedback, but about the idea itself? That seems to imply that they do not care much about balance feedback and work on that themselves instead

the whole party benefits when some players have access proving that it wasn’t about accomplishing better balance…

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
