I’ve largely given up worrying about the silent representative sample. We have enough people we can talk to who do read stuff like this, or watch videos, or chat about it on other platforms that we can get a gauge from that. No one has the answer to what the silent majority thinks or says but we...

I’m at PAGE in Philadelphia this week and Shadowdark is everywhere.

Some already are but I don’t know if they need to. Look how much other 5e publishers diverged from D&D 2014 like A5E, Kobold Press, and MCDM. There is a ton of variation in monster design and it’s awesome.

What is your specific prediction? What measurable thing will happen by when?

I love mastodon and bluesky is a lot of fun. I spend a ton of time on Discord though. I don’t think I’m going to invest a lot of intellectual capital in big centralized platforms here on out — or I hope not to. Mastodons decentralized ecosystem is really cool and I’m hoping Bluesky can get...

I think you're mixing up cause and effect. It was fortuitous that I got the PHB and had the opportunity to preview it the week before (or week during? I can't remember). But I didn't set that up. That was circumstance. I definitely gained an advantage, both when I posted my original video and...

I know, and I recognize that its similar to the 2e way where you had monsters tied to treasure tables. I also dont think it's very useful. I can always go roll on the tables. I think it would have been far better to do what A5e did and offer some actual treasure for a monster so I don't have to...

I have bad news for you ...

I'm embarassed to even reply to this childish reponse but I just can't help myself. How much do you want to bet that the following sections aren't in the 2025 Monster Manual? Monster knowledge checks Actual treasure recommendations (not "treasure: any"). A monster statistics by CR table...

For the record, from my original post:

Where?

You realize this post was from a year ago, right? I hadn't written for them then. Where did I do that?

I am cofident that the new D&D 2025 Monster Manual will not have: Monster knowledge checks Actual treasure recommendations (not "treasure: any"). A monster statistics by CR table Encounters at various CRs showing which monsters group with other monsters. Potential signs of a monster's presence...

That's not true. I made the original video in which I walked through the PHB (quite enthusiasticly if you watch it) and it so happened I was going to be running a Kickstarter at the time so that was fortuitous. Then Blur-Gate happened and boy that chapped my ass and yeah, I did do a video about...

I'm confused. When I say one book is better than another, that's disparagement?

Which I am. That's how you noticed this in the first place.

Where did I disparage the Monster Manual?

Sure! If you're not digging 5e, there are tons of awesome games to enjoy.

Poor Pinkertons. So misunderstood... If only it were possible for them to change their name. Remember Blackwater? They had a huge controversy when hired to quell dissent in New Orleans after Katrina and then act as a mercenary company in Iraq (with critics saying they operated outside the...

How did you find out about that?? Oh, that's right. I said it on my youtube show when promoting KP's work or spotlighting their products. This might blow your mind but its possible I wrote for them and spotlight them because I believe in their work. I also wrote pieces of the Tales of the...
