In terms of the setting, it might help to add depth by specifying what type of crystals are present rather than just having everything look like generic quartz. E.g. mountains of malachite, rivers of azurite, etc. - "The BBEG's eyes were as black schorl, his sword, the dull grey of magnetite...

I stay in the back, and only use my dagger when absolutely necessary. :)

There are many good sipping bourbons. To start try Wild Turkey 101, Rare Breed, Knob Creek 9, "1792", Elijah Craig. Then move on to Old Forester 1920, Russell's Reserve, 4 Roses Single Barrel, Penelope, Barrell Bourbon, to name a few. Unfortunately, a lot of celebrity or event whiskeys aren't...

IMO, the biggest issue is that zero to hero happens to quickly, and that the monsters (as written) don't scale well with PC power at the higher levels.

12 years old - 1979.

In the seven years that my group played 5E (typically weekly), sex was involved twice, and it was just mentioned in general terms with the scene "fading to black" before it progressed beyond PG.

I was going to mention what I would be purchasing, but I thought it might drive the thread off topic. :)

So, you really don't think WoTC will be offering a subscription service to their VTT, and charging for various in-VTT items? I think it's pretty clear that that is the direction they're are heading in.

No, I won't be purchasing any WoTC products. No books, no subscriptions, no microtransactions.

Ultimately it doesn't matter. For a substantial percentage of the RPG players, D&D is the one and only (RPG) game that they would ever consider playing. So, unless WoTC's implements changes that make the game completely unplayable and unfun, people will just grumble about what they don't like...

Back to the OP question - WoTC is moving in a digital direction because they believe it will generate the most revenue. That's what corporations do. WoTC is no different. Whether they actually maintain the analog side of the business in the long run, no one knows. I suspect they'll maintain to...

My take: Slots equal to proficiency bonus+ CHA (or INT) modifier + 1 extra every 3 levels. Partial recovery on a short rest, full recovery on a long rest.

Starfinder should drop it's ties to fantasy, and become a pure Sci-Fi game.

Is qualifying language really needed?... I thought it was pretty obvious that people are sharing their opinion, as I doubt anyone in this thread has any sway at WoTC. And even if they did, it still wouldn't matter, as no one can force you to play their way.

It's just my opinion. Others may disagree, and play differently. You are entitled to your opinion, as am I.

There should always be the risk of character death. Permadeath.... D&D currently makes it too easy to recover from zero hp.

Per WoTC there are no more editions...therefore no more wars. :D

Never more than an hour.

Railroads are good in that they keep the session in focus of the objective. To have a truly open/random world would be a lot of work for the DM.

WoTC should keep half elves and half orcs as their own separate species. (and rename them if necessary)
