Disagree with what? That CURSE OF STRAHD was their bestselling adventure? That VGR was spearheaded by Wes Schneider? Those seem hard to debate Or do you mean older gamers disagree that they don't have to make books based on nostalgia? Well they would, but they no longer matter 72% of the...

VAN RICHTEN'S GUIDE TO RAVENLOFT has given us an idea of how Wizards of the Coast will be updating old campaigns to 5th Ed With that template in mind I started musing about Dark Sun I imagine it will look a lot like it did in 4th Ed but continue to evolve Lineages All the races / lineages in...

Thanks Captain America Makes sense Old folks are known for embracing new ideas Sure Think there's five pages that reflect the old version

Older gamers weren't a factor at all They did Ravenloft cause Wes Schneider is a Ravenloft fan and cause CURSE OF STRAHD was their best selling adventure Doubt we'll see another product like TALES FROM THE YAWNING PORTAL. They don't need to sell books based on nostalgia anymore The three...

There's nothing stopping people from running AL there Always people talking about gaming in nursing homes. Which does happen. It's even a meme. Imagine the barrier is most gamers don't have the healthy lifestyle that allows one to end up in a nursing home rather than dying of a stroke or...

If that were even remotely true they wouldn't have published EXPLORER'S GUIDE TO WILDEMOUNT let alone entirely rewritten Ravenloft WizCo doesn't give even half a Duck about older gamers any more. It's all about the kids Watch the language, please.

CR 1 Dark Lords do sound hella weird Yeah, not every adventure should be about killing the Dark Lord. But if every other monster in the domain is tougher and half the NPCs could kick the Dark Lord around the block... why are they still in charge?

I was very pro-PDFs until I started using dndbeyond.com more. Searching for keywords is ridiculously faster on the app It's much more usable at the game table. And even reading is easier as you can choose the font size and the type of background

But... but... but people here swore there would be a July book that would be announced any day!!!

Wondering if Grant is playing Lord Neverember and who is going bald to be the Red Wizard feels presumptuous WizCo has shown they'll happily rewrite the lore of their settings. For past settings and even for characters created this edition Red Wizards in this movie might have long flowing locks...

The exact same statement could be said about a brand new setting Why didn't they just do that instead? VAN PITCHEN'S GUIDE TO SHADOWCROFT It would have done everything you wanted and not pissed off any Ravenloft fans I imagine the reason is because they just didn't care if they upset anyone...

Have you? How can you defend if if you haven't read it? And are you seriously saying I HAVE to pay $60 just to find out I don't like a book? No, that's naughty word If you watch trailers for a movie and they look terrible you don't really need to see the movie to know it's terrible. I didn't need...

There's some wiggle room and every campaign is of course different You can change a lot. As much as the rules changed between 1st Ed and 5th Ed really But if you're playing a game where you replaced the d20 with 3d6 and use wounds and vigor rather than hit points as you adventure in a post...

Then why have consistent lore at all? Just have a list of different lore options Lots of different tropes that allow you to pick the origin of orcs or gnolls Why even have lore at all then? Just publish the hard rules and save space. There'd be a couple dozen extra pages in the PH if they...

Hell no They've thoroughly convinced me it's not worth my time and they don't want my money

Why? If you change enough of the rules you eventually stop playing DnD and start playing a home brew RPG Why is lore different? Unless you think every game that uses a d20 published by WizCo is "DnD" Which is so ridiculous on its face that it hardly bears further comment Cool I don't much care...

But they didn't make them better They made something else. That MAY be better

So instead they turned to a movie from 1973 instead...

They couldn't change Barovia since it was already locked in Of the domains in that book that are actually detailed, one is "pretty close" And two more are "very close" if you ignore one is collapsing rather than being the Necropolis or ruled by a resurrected Azalin and the other if you ignore...
