Reading more, the spell-thief ability actually seems worse than I first thought. You might be able to get higher spells than 3rd level if you multiclass into a caster class. However, at that point, the game is already at high level and being able to steal one 3rd level spell isn't that great...

WoTC has no control over a printer botching a print job. However, what they can control is PR and coming up with a plan to (at some point) deliver the product for which customers have already paid.

Can multiple Rogues spell-thief the same casting of a spell?

If the layout is better, that is a plus.

A lot of what I heard from the YouTube videos was less about max possible power and more about what the game (and in-game world) assume are normal functions. One of the comments that I remember was that a tavern in D&D looks more like Mos Eisley Cantina. Aside from that, a lot of the discussion...

I posit that it is relevant for the reasons I've stated elsewhere. However, I'll concede that your have a better ability to empathize with the experience of playing with Cocks than I do.

In the context of the conversation, it is relevant to better understanding the poster to whom I am responding and their point of view. As that would increase clarity and understanding, it is worthwhile to ask. Beyond that, the original comment from which this conversation arose was one...

Mostly that most species now have some sort of pseudo-magical inherent ability (i.e. tremorsense, Elemental infused heritage, etc) and that more subclasses grant easier access to things like teleportation, shape-shifting, and etc. I passively listened to a few videos while doing other things...

I've seen a few reviews that claim commonly available magic and being a bit more like supers is more embraced by 2024. But I take the little bit of D&D YouTube stuff that I come across as possibly having some basis in reality but likely starting from a preconceived position of bias.

Like I said, how do you define "regularly"?

Thanks for those links.

Do you feel that the 2024 PHB leans toward a different playstyle (or worldbuilding style) as a default than the 2014 PHB?

Sure, and I've addressed multiple groups and Adventurer's League. Depends upon what is meant by "regularly." 30-40 people regularly gathering together to play with Cocks doesn't sound like the usual D&D experience.

I get the idea that multiple groups can exist. I've had times in my life when that has been true. Really, it's not even that big of a deal. I'm just a little bit baffled by what is meant by saying "...regularly..." with "...30-40..." people. Maybe that is true for him. Maybe I'm out of...

I highly enjoyed Edge of the Empire (hence my interest). If there were a middle ground between Genesys (which has nothing pre-built) and Edge (which has things pre-made) that used the same system for a generic sci-fi game, I would be interested in it. To me, Edge often felt like playing a...

I wouldn't mind seeing another try at using the system for Warhammer. I feel like what FFG Star Wars did was an improved version of what the (I think) 3rd Edition of Warhammer was trying to do. With some of the kinks ironed out and an upcoming show (produced by Henry Cavill,) it could...

The last thing I've heard about Fantasy Flight Games's Star Wars game (Edge of the Empire, Age of Rebellion, Force and Destiny) was moved under the umbrella of Asmodee. However, I haven't heard anything after that. (Likewise for Genesys.) The Asmodee store shows that you can buy some of the...

Sergeant major eats sugar cookies.

i was confused by that quote too. Do 30 or 40 people regularly play with Cocks at the same time? That sounds like a drastically different Dungeons & Dragons experience than any that I've had. Trying to imagine that doesn't resemble anything like the groups with whom I've gamed over the years...

As it stands, the corporate investors appear to be more satisfied with Cocks than some of the general community. Here, self checkout is starting to be used in a lot more places. Even the small gas station down the road from me now has a "self service" counter. What I meant by using AI like...
