I was thinking about this with 40K. I dont think they really threw everything out and started over, until...10th? From 3rd to 9th it was mostly the same? I'd have to go back, but that is certainly true from 3rd to 5th, and likely 3rd to 7th.

-- Two for one. 1. Its a real shame, that despite your obvious (and I mean this) intelligence, and likely ability to apply said intelligence, you choose to demonstrate repeatedly, across multiple threads, that you are suffering the effects of some kind of trauma. I'm not downplaying it, you...

I dont think so. One only has to look at another very modern release, to see that there is a way to do what I am advocating for.

Do you think it actually matters, or has Wizards been kept afloat by Magic anyway?

Not to me. I don't think it matters as much anymore. Obviously it still matters as money talks, but there are better designed games, and multiple "D&D" games.

I mean is it? What were Level Up or ToV before they were published?

Incompatible does a lot of lifting. Is 1e not compatible with 3e, with SD, with ToV? The degree of separation is not so vast.

And with examples. Campaign Frames are great.

Exactly. If they want to get a hold of me and pay my salary expectations I AM RIGHT HERE WIZARDS!

Fair enough. My suggestions are not what Wizards would do, but more what would be better for an actual evergreen D&D 6e.

To show the flexibility of the system in telling much more deliberate stories with curated content instead of a grab bag of options that make less sense. "I have an idea for a LotR like setting." "Cool, I'll play a half vampire half Goo person." "...."

No intent to frustrate you. We disagree so completely it's impossible to discuss. Apologies.

I mean it is simple, but we clearly disagree. /shrug

Laying here in a heat warning and I just have to say how toxic this kind of design has been. Instead of richness and depth, and story potential Wizards has chosen fear. Fear of obnoxious DMs, and poor behavior, and the biggest game on the market is lesser for it.

Yeah, couldn't agree more.

Pretty much everything about casters is wrong, but at least we got Blade locks limited.

I certainly hope they lean into evil options being evil. The lack of any weight for evil Patrons is one of the worst aspects of any class. You made a deal with Satan. "No no, I'm just misunderstood!"

Question, has the design math for 5.5 been cleanly documented?

Did they? I for one slammed the Warlock and it was brought back to reality a bit.

On the one hand, sure. On the other hand, 5e is not the bleeding edge of the craft, and there is room for improvement.
