Nope, not at all. Steve Jackson Games, to a first approximation, hasn't ever had any RPG writers on payroll. Everything's been freelance, per-project contracts. And Steve Jackson has always kept a sharp eye on per-product profitability, which 1990s TSR definitely did not have -- which is why TSR...

What's odd about that? The community being polled on these decisions is composed pretty much of two parts. The smaller part is what's left of the community whose reactions in the D&D Next playtests ten years ago shaped 5th edition in the first place. The larger part is all the people who were...

Except that's not what the monk is. The 5e monk was "specifically built to facilitate" playing the previous-editions D&D monk, and that was specifically built around playing Remo Williams from the "The Destroyer" novels. Anything else the 5e monk chassis can do is pure bonus . . . and since...

Yes. It depends on what the antecedent to your "it" there is. If it's the same as the "it all" in the previous sentence, then no, of course not. I'm not calling for deleting the monk class. You have the monk with various subclasses, and then you have a fighter subclass to relieve the pressure...
