5E is 10 years old. It was due for a revision How much of a revision is needed is up for debate. Whether people will like the revision - time will tell.

I heard somewhere that their next project would be DOS3

What if your a 1st level PC with 10 hp and you CON is 15? In that case a single point of damage would kill you.

Over $300. Yikes... I spent enough on Lego when my son was a child.:)

Random selection in this case has potential bias as well because only people who want to take the survey will (just because someone is randomly selected doesn't mean that they'll choose to take the survey) and those motivated enough to do so are likely have strong opinions in either direction.

In addition to a number of channels mentioned by the OP, I like Dungeoncraft. https://www.youtube.com/@DUNGEONCRAFT1

Yea, they are similar. The last time I mentioned the similarity, I was told that I was seeing things.

I didn't romance anyone. That's not why I play games, but apparently BG3 is the most successful dating sim ever.

First time played rogue ever.

My players had an easy time with the adventure...until they encountered the BBEG.

I try to follow the rules to the letter whenever possible, but I'm not going to thwart fun or creativity if the rules (or lack of rules) get in the way.

Well I can DM D&D in my sleep at this point, but I really felt what it's like to be a new GM when I started with Pathfinder. My reservations centered around (less than thorough) familiarity with the mechanics, wanting the game to run smoothly, being proficient enough in the VTT I was using, and...

Why go through the trouble of building your own service when you can simply get small fees for each transaction from StartPlaying? Or even better, just purchase StartPlaying.

Yes, clearly there is demand for it, and it seems that $20 is the price the market will bear. I still wonder what percentage of players are willing to pay for a game, and for how long, how competition impacts demand (e.g AL) and if the model is sustainable in the long run.

They may not get a lot for each session, but it it could work like a micro transaction from their perspective.

To be clear, I am well aware of the site's purpose, I just think $20+ per session is a lot. Apparently there are enough people willing to pay the price.

Why? If MM is the only DM newbies have ever seen, it's not unreasonable to believe that they could view being a DM as intimidating.

Apparently there is a cost per game for the service. That may limit interest in the long run. I saw "$10 off first game session", so that implies each session cost more than $10. After the initial interest, this may be a big impediment. I wonder how much WoTC will get from this.

When a PC is trying to deceive, intimidate or persuade, I have the players roll for it. Otherwise, I don't insert any type of mechanics into roll playing.

Short survey. I guess the truth hurts.
