The mention D&D most of the time because the YT algorithm essentially rewards them for it.

My guess is that they'll move the microtransactions to the VTT. Having the option to dress up your 3D token will be very appealing to many people.

Also, another thing to consider, is that some people might take personal offense if they see their preferred choice get down voted. If you decide to implement this poll type, I would make sure that an individual's choices aren't public.

Yes, I've seen this on other forums where a "senior" member starts a confrontation with a newbie, the newbie responds in kind, and gets banned or blocked despite the fact that it was the senior member who initiated the confrontation.

We typically hand wave the issue with a bag of holding, as long as it doesn't get ridiculous. So, if hauling out a quantity of gold (or an over sized item) would break of not fit into a BoH, the players have to specify how they'll get the treasure out of the dungeon.

I'm in favor of randomness. It adds variety, and may create new conditions that you have to work through, and provide a challenge.

After character creation, the gods have never come into play in any campaign I've been in or ran.

Yes they sell, but it seems like people have been dissatisfied with recent offerings. Scrapping the VTT would allow them to redirect funds for hiring more creatives. IMHO, after the "gee whiz" factor dies down, people will move to other VTT's that offer more flexibility, and cost less.

I would scrap the VTT and focus on WoTC earning a reputation for high quality adventures. By quality, I mean in depth cohesive and engaging adventures that don't force the DM to spend time filling in the gaps.

Despite her departure, I expect WoTC's view of the consumer, and business practices to remain largely the same.

Not excited at all.

Larion raised consumer expectations to a level that other developers will not be willing or able to meet or exceed, IMO.

"Left to spend more time with her family" is usually code for a forced resignation. Didn't see that, so it's probably voluntary.

I attack the cleric. There is nothing worse than having to deal with a PC a second time that you just took down because the cleric brough them back up. The clerics healing essentially nullifies the attack the BBEG just made. If the BBEG is in such dire straights that one more attack will take...

I let my players choose their gods, and I use their choices as the "Pantheon". They can choose anything they want from any tradition, or make up their own. It doesn't matter to me, as long as it's meaningful to them.

"The doors of Eden" by Adrian Tchaikovsky https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/48643567 It has some interesting ideas mingled with a lot of chase scenes - which starts to get a bit tedious. I would give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

One way to reduce the cost of books is to buy the .pdf versions instead. I know that probably doesn't sit well with most people here, but it's the quickest and most direct way to reduce spending on TTRPGs. Or alternatively waiting for a sale or buying the books second hand.

Yes, it does matter. There should always be consequences (favorable or unfavorable) for for how they interact with the world and the NPCs within. And talking rudely to someone is certainly worth a roll of the dice. It's OK for the GM to drop hints and act as a "second thought" for the PCs - but...

"Older D&D players, says ICv2, are also migrating to other games, with Pathfinder as one of the major beneficiaries." - raises hand - I just so happen to be part of that statistic... :)

I'm going to purchase the .pdf just because I want all of my remaster core books "in sync". Not necessary, but that's just me. However, I've seen some previews, and I'm not a fan of the "cutesy-fying" of some of the monsters, and I agree with GuardianLurker re: ghoul - seems like a very odd change.
