It was true for every game I played. YMMV.

Stealth has been important at every level least occasionally in every version of the game that I've played. The rules for a hide check (and invisibility) in 5e 2014 are pretty much the same as in the 2024 version. This is not an issue with the fact that the fighter in heavy armor isn't going...

And IME I may or may not have seen it once. Between multiple home games, game days, conventions I've likely played with significantly more than 50 people over the years. So either it's not as wide spread as you claim, it's just coincidence that the people you play with have it, or you have...

Why is so binary and extreme? A DM can be the the one making the final decision while still running a cooperative game. No tyranny in sight.

I don't know how many times at work we were told there was no manager, no project leader. But before too long there always was a de facto leader, usually the one that spoke loudest or refused to compromise.

I don't remember anyone ever preparing absorb elements even after playing with many different groups. So I'm with you, in my experience it's a niche spell that is rarely used.

Which is why a DM needs to listen to feedback and be willing to change when things don't work. It's not a reason to not try, even if there may be others depending on the group.

Being invisible A) Isn't a reasonable solution for an entire party, especially at lower levels. B) Does not make you automatically hidden in either the 2014 or 2024 rules . Enemies can still hear you and potentially detect interactions with your environment. They may not know your exact...

How would that work? For example, I dislike the stealth rules in the 2024 PHB that states that the hide action requires a DC 15 stealth check no matter who you are hiding from. In addition if one enemy notices you, all enemies notice you. My house rule that it's an opposed check against each...

But if they did, look out below!

So a sharkfly is different from a horsefly how exactly?

Personally I do not care what my player's character's alignments are. Alignments to me are to be used or ignored by the person running the character or monster as they see fit. So if someone has LE on their character sheet and never betrays the party, never commits a truly evil act*, but is...

Better for who? I get that some people have this concept of an ideal, altruistic owner but there's no guarantee that owner would make a game that would work better for me. There are lots of people who love what they do and produce things that for my tastes are total crap. Meanwhile a lot of...

I assume there are many forums dedicated to MtG where you can complain. I don't play the game and don't care for the business model but I don't see how it's relevant on a D&D forum.

Everyone, every company that has been in existence for any period of time has done a bad thing or three along the way. But at a certain point I can only assume trolling when we keep bringing up things that happened years ago. I may as well start complaining about crap that TSR did back in the...

I may not state my preference using the exact same wording as @kermit4karate, but I think the game works best when the DM makes the final call whether I'm playing or running. I've had some people want to do wacky stuff - like contract lycanthropy without all the penalties so that they were...

Yet another thread turns into "Let's just rag on a company because it's made mistakes while insulting them on a forum dedicated the game they produce." Doesn't that ever get old? And why do it other than to just troll because you know this is supposed to be a forum about a game people enjoy...

Great. First it starts with a fourth leg, then it's other minor enhancements. Next thing you know it's thumbs and they realize they don't need us any more because they can open the cans of tuna for themselves and they take over the world.
