I mean, WotC has repeatedly said they're not interested in reprinting the lore from previous editions and that the previous books are there for use. I think it's stranger to assert that a revision of the rules necessarily invalidates all prior lore, even if nothing new contradicts it. I can't...

No, but those bells kept jingling.

Has that ever turned out well for anyone?

Circling back to some old favorites. Red Harvest and The Count of Monte Cristo.

The Internet is nothing if not the world's largest quantity-over-quality device. After Walmart.

Wait six months. Then... Necro!

I think "dungeon" has just expanded beyond what OD&D called a dungeon. A dungeon isn't a series of underground monster-filled rooms connected by trap-filled corridors. A dungeon is a series of connected encounters. The dungeon could be anywhere. That said, I know I've used 5e Mind Flayer...

Magic plotlines never advanced past the 90s. They have a history of ending with apocalypses. I think they equate "epic" to "end of the world," so it's often literally the only story they do. They have a real problem with destroying their own settings. The reason they stopped using Dominaria in...

I certainly think you could make that work. I would probably not describe it as using the same pool of hit points. I'd probably describe it as hit points and stamina points. That would just ease play at the table. You can also say things like, "when you're out of stamina, you're bloodied."...

It's a game of nearly unlimited building and exploration. It's an infinite world of Lego. Well, ok, not really infinite. But each block is 1 cubic meter, and you can travel about 30,000 km in any cardinal direction from the starting point. And the worlds are up to about 500m in height. And...

It looks really good. I have no interest in online play currently, but I think it looks really good. I also can't help but think: How much will the tavern map set me back? What does a cool fig for a PC cost? How much are the dice textures? Can I upload anything that I created and retain full...

If they hadn't, the market would die. The gamers would move to console only and the primary market would be crypto. That would kill Nvidia as soon as proof of stake ever became a thing. Nevermind that the power companies and regulators were starting to look at crypto negatively.

Not who you asked, but I'll say that my experience matches yours. The first problem with spell points is that spell levels aren't linear, but spell point costs almost always are. Really, you want 1st-level spells to cost ~3, 2nd-level spells to cost ~5, and 3rd-level spells to cost ~12. But...

Given that it involves NFTs and uses blockchain as a buzzword, it's a grifter scam. I don't really see a benefit in thinking about it any deeper. It's like multi-level marketing, but with dice instead of cosmetics or plastic food containers.

Yes, but is it Botanical Fruitopia, Culinary Frutopia, or Gummy Snack Fruitopia?

If her entire purpose is to just be god-cop of Sigil -- and to be clear I don't disagree with that -- then have the good graces to make her boring! Don't put her on the cover and then have her the only detailed NPC. Don't make her face the logo! I don't know how you could possibly make her more...

I've said this before elsewhere, but.... My problem with Planescape is that what was presented wasn't particularly well fleshed out. The art was amazing and it had good ideas, but.... The factions were presented as having ideologies but not as having goals. This kind of left them as nebulous...

So your interpretations are absolute, but mine need to be qualified because someone might mistake them as facts.

The main issue with that is if the module says, "On the north wall of the room is a bookcase...."
