Agreed. The term race is loaded at this point.

I agree but that doesn’t really address my main point. Do you really think the other KP monster books won’t be updated?

Yikes. Just read the comments. That has taken a turn.

Yes I believe you are correct. But since the MM is backwards compatible with Black Flag that shouldn’t be necessary. But I bet updates are also made to the CC and ToB 1-3 next. After all the world book already appears to be revised. It is just the inevitable creep of revision and re-release...

Kobold is also suggesting a monster book for Black Flag is in the works. Not sure how I feel about that after buying all their 5E monster books.

Fair enough. There are many games with lighter rules and many with a lot more. However 5E is relatively rules light to me especially compared to previous editions of D&D (except basic). I have two groups and one is with old friends and one is with middle schoolers who picked it up quite quickly.

Well then you inferred incorrectly. I have played rules light and rules heavy games over the past 30 plus years. 5E does not have thousand of pages of rules at least what I consider rules. I don’t included classes subclasses as rules per say.

Yeah not sure why some people do that. But I hardly think that qualifies as ‘trashing someone.’ But I stand my the overall point. 5E is incredibly rules light so much of the experience is based on the DM and the players to be flexible.

Hit Point Press does Big Bads in odd and print. https://hitpointpress.com/big-bads/

That’s so not true. Either you are a poor DM or you have a poor DM but my group has run a heist (home brew) in 5E and it was amazing.

This looks pretty great I am in.

It should be interesting to see what they do with subclasses. I love what KP has put out especially the adventures, world building and monsters. If they have one weakness so far for me it has been their subclasses.

I guess I don’t understand the point. Either it is 5E or it is not. I know that is pretty black and white thinking but I don’t really understand how it is supposed to be different and the same so it works seamlessly but is unique. Huh? Why not just be 5E then? Confusing me even more is the...

My thoughts too. Who knows what compatible means. I suspect adventures and monsters can be used pretty easily but not classes/subclasses. The next play test document might add some clarity.

Yeah I am not super excited about Black Flag. I will probably continue to play 5E and dabble in D&D One but I don’t know that I need a derivative of 5E too. Kind of a no man’s land to me but I am sure I will see how nicely it works with 5E. If any conversion is necessary I probably won’t...

I realize you are trying to be humerous 😉. Yup there were several before that stunk. That is why this needs to do well. The D&D movie doing well will bring more people and creators to the hobby. There is a lot of great fantasy on tv right now and some awful but none of that will grow this...

As a suggestion don’t wait a week or two. If you want to see another D&D movie or tv show in your lifetime this needs to be a huge success. Best way to do that is build buzz early with big box office numbers.

I appreciate your thoughts but this is the wrong crowd. Many people don’t know how to not be angry. They hate WoTC for making money. They hate them for wanting to make more money. They hate them for making products that don’t appeal to them. The list is endless. For me no forgiveness is...

I understand. I guess we just see this differently which is ok. The past two day I asked 15 people who don’t play D&D about the movie and the OGL controversy. 4 of the 15 had heard of the movie. One of the 15 had seen a preview. None of the 15 had heard or seen anything about the OGL at...

I hear what you are saying but I see and read a lot of news articles and most I end up not caring about or forgetting moments later. I still don’t think that most people who saw these articles care or will change their behavior based on them. We are attuned to these stories because we are in...
