Turns out it's everyone. Hallelujah.

If you need to remake old stuff at least have a new take with something to say. Otherwise leave it alone.

A few rows of baddies standing on one side of the screen stepping forward and flailing their arms or casting a spell before stepping back. Then repeat on the heroes' side. Love that stuff.

I know. Let's take My Little Pony and remake it into Game of Thrones. Then we can take Game of Thrones and turn it into My Little Pony. Brilliant. So much money to be made. I dunno. Maybe just make MLP and GoT stuff.

Yes, of course. No one's arguing against that. What they're responding negatively to is an existing thing being taken and radically changed to make something completely different for people who don't like the original. Make something original for the people with different tastes.

Exactly. It's not the same Batman from his first appearance to this week's issue. The DC Universe has been rebooted at least 9-10 times. https://screenrant.com/every-dc-comics-reboots-explained-complete-guide/

Take an existing IP with long-time fans, change it into something nearly opposite to the original, then wonder why long-time fans think the thing they love is being taken away. That's certainly a take.

Given WotC's disastrous handling Ravenloft, Dragonlance, Spelljammer, and Planescape...I have basically zero confidence in their ability to put out good setting books.

Exactly. As far as I see it, the only good thing about this is opening the setting to the DM's Guild.

LOL. Just noticed the trees in the background of the pic.

Right. It's almost like they want it to tank.

Damn. These subclasses are trash. At least they're going to open Dark Sun up to the DM's Guild so the fans can do it right.

They lose audience no matter what. Stick with 2014, lose audience. Switch to 2024, lose audience. Switch to Daggerheart, lose audience. The argument was that at least if they switch to Daggerheart they'll be promoting their own game and making more money, hopefully at least enough to make up the...

Yeah. And a lot of fans of Daggerheart are feeling like CR just strangled it in the crib.

That's not true. Look at just about any serialized fiction and you see the same thing. James Bond. Different actors playing the same character over decades. Doctor Who. Different actors playing the same character over decades...fighting some of the exact same enemies. Star Trek TOS. They've...

Exactly. It's certainly cooled my excitement for Daggerheart quite a bit. They're the best people on the planet to market the game because it's their game...and yet they're not confident enough in their own game to play it for a long-term campaign. That's says a lot.

I mean...it's serialized superhero fiction. I doesn't make logical real-world sense. It's not supposed to. It's the whole "why doesn't Gandalf use the Eagles to fly the ring to Mount Doom on page 5 of Lord of the Rings" problem, i.e. it's a story and follows story logic. It's not a game, it...

Which, to me, is a clear indicator that the game is poorly designed. If it's meant to emulate superhero fiction, it shouldn't be a struggle to use the game to create superhero stories.

No. That's not what was said. CR as a company will still be doing actual plays of D&D and Daggerheart. Campaign 4 is pure D&D. I love the idea of West Marches for live play, but it doesn't sound like the players will be mingling. Rather they'll be at one table throughout based on playstyle...
