I don't think so. 2023 has just been a weird year for cinema. What might be ending is the sprawling Cinematic Universe concept - Marvel just hasn't recovered from the outrageous success of Endgame, and DC's efforts have come to naught. So maybe the best thing for them to do is to lean heavily...

If you're looking for a topic for your next thread, I think we might have a winner. :)

I can only comment on my experience. But I didn't, at that time, encounter any players who were determined that they would play 4e and nothing else. It is, of course, entirely possible that if I'd stuck with 3.0e then my players may have rejected that. It just wasn't a problem I encountered...

It depends on how you count it. If you look at PHB sales only, each edition sold less than the one before (excluding 5e, of course). If you look at the sales of every single product in the edition, though (and especially if you include DDI subs for 4e, which you should), each edition sold more...

I'd be inclined to allow either a fairly simple (and cheap) workaround or a permanent fix (with a trade-off), with the player being able to choose. The simple and cheap fix is just some goggles, of the sort described up-thread. Which work fine, almost all the time. But occasionally (and I do...

For a really long time I was in exactly the same position. Eventually, running out of shelf space forced me to make my peace with PDFs, and the truth is that I've found I just don't miss physical product all that much - the truth is that almost all of it got read once and then filed, and then...

Given the history of the Deck of Many Things in the game, that seems an unlikely direction for them to take. However, Ravenloft has the Tarokka cards, which are rather more in line with this. If this product succeeds, that would seem like a likely successor product (especially if they lean into...

During 4e days, we almost exclusively stuck with 3.5e, not even updating to Pathfinder. So it's doable without any real difficulty. That said, in 5e days I think I would be inclined to switch to "Level Up", and might well be tempted to continue using materials from the OGL and DM's Guild...

Just popped in here to say I've been enjoying this thread - looking forward to the MC10 retrospective!

Yeah, something's a bit odd - the reason I stumbled on the route to the old site was that my library was showing loads of products I have no recollection of buying. So I went to check that my purchase history was actually correct. (It is - looks like a glitch rather than anything worse.)

The overwhelming majority of all shows are going to fall of any "best 50 shows of all time" list. If that's the bar for success, pretty much everything is a failure.

I got the new version this morning. It looks like if you go to "My Library", and then "Account", it takes you to the old version of the site. From there you can go back to "My Library" and download in batches of 10, as before.

I very much enjoyed the finale, just as I've very much enjoyed the show as a whole. In terms of the comparison with "Andor"... I wouldn't - they're just very different shows, and I enjoyed both. I did feel that the ending was rather predictable, but found myself less bothered by that than I'd...

At low levels, they could be either. Once you get to level 5 or so, they're clearly superhuman, and we should probably just accept that - or play strictly at low levels. And, unfortunately, it does matter what stance the game takes on this, because if a 20th level Fighter has to be considered...

I think it can be either of those things. D&D clearly has some baked-in assumptions in pretty much every edition, but tends not to detail place names, kings and kingdoms, and the like; by contrast, the Star Wars RPGs have a vastly more explicit setting baked in (to give an absurdly extreme...

If they are, does it really count as showing up "in the wild"?

IMO the worst thing about CR is that it looks like it's got all sorts of calculations and maths underlying it. They'd probably do better giving CRs as a range, and thus making explicit the fact that it is an imprecise tool. They should also divorce the XP rewards for defeating an encounter from...

Indeed. Which is unfortunate, because of all the classic settings they've touched (that I've seen), it was the best, IMO. Actually, it's perhaps worth noting that 5e Eberron had virtually nothing that we hadn't seen before (and even less following the DM's Guild teaser product). But what it did...

Out of curiosity: what would you consider being worth getting if you have access to the old material? (Excluding the monster stat blocks and the adventure.) One of the issues that they have is that the boxed set must be pitched primarily at players who may have heard of Planescape but are...

I don't think they should be build like PCs, but they should have consistent and explicable capabilities - if an NPC Wizard casts fireball, it should have the same effect as when a PC casts the same spell, it should be counterspell-able in the same way, and so on. (Incidentally, that...
