I wondered that too but in the second "5e roundtable" he did confirm that a more streamlined system was at least a major part of the decision to switch. ETA; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFbCxuvknWM about 17min in.

SKT is actually probably the "easiest" to tie into because it begins right next door and has ways to connect to several of the adventures, it doesn't have the hardest of hooks though like CoS etc that can suck players up from anywhere.

IME, no, it would just get explained away as an aberration or "nostalgia for a thing you never got to experience."

Sure, the world is black and white. If your child or parent takes your shoes without your permission and moves them, that's theft. As long as you're happy, you do you, but I would appreciate just being left out of this at this point there is nothing to be gained here and already way too much...

First of all, when you assume everyone is an American you are often wrong. I suppose one could call the police to arrest their mother and father for moving their car from their driveway down the street as a practical joke. Maybe in the U.S. the police would arrest them, maybe they would even be...

Wow, hiding someone's car counts as a pretty mild practical joke IME, folks around here must think it grounds for execution if they get this upset about putting your kids books in storage and filling their shelf with new ones.

Was there a "D&D" forum in 2006?

Ah, I've actually seen it argued elsewhere that AL makes up the majority of 5e play (I don't think it does), so I was curious.

10%? Where does this come from?

It's pretty cool, my impression for years when reading forums and the like (especially pre-5e) was that most of the people I played with were some weird fringe of strange preferences. Statements like this from those in the know, survey results, and especially being able to see lots of real games...

1 attack doesn't necessarily map to one swing of a sword, after all that would make for some incredibly slow duels at low level. So in situations like this we usually see highly skilled fighters as simply having more combat force, in a way that lets them distribute it to multiple enemies if they...

Sweet! I haven't seen anything about them so thanks for the heads up.

"Basic" in one form or another, started with it and played it on an off until 5e. Tried every edition to varying degrees but basic is the only one I kept coming back to consistently (usually when things started to feel bloaty or cumbersome). 5e is really adding up the time spent though.

Yes, but most people who would answer yes to "Do you like 5e?" have things about it that they don't care for or agree about. Pretty much every survey on here that I have seen, about classes or any other mechanic have been widely disagreed upon. I mean look at the recent survey about how many...

If you can work it, run a game for some new players (new to ttrpgs entirely even), preferably in person. I recommend using the starter set actually as it lays down some good expectations IME. This will help you get the confidence you need and will ensure you are not in a position of feeling you...

What? No. The questions is 100% different than that.

I did not think this level of agreement was possible when discussing ttrpgs on the internet :confused:

Anybody know the artist who did that piece, I can't see that info?

Hussar, I have seen that repeated a few times in different places, but the numbers I looked at all seemed to show that D&D shared and then lost it's spot some time before 5e was announced and/or they stopped publishing 4e books (as early as mid-late 2010). Not that this has much to do with DMs...

Fair enough, I think we agree more or less that A: It's complicated B: Wanting your "side" to win isn't necessarily a bad thing (especially if after honest consideration you think your position is best for the game as a whole). And we probably agree none of these analogies really capture the...
