    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    FWIW, 2024 has grown on me. The downside: Characters are stronger with more magic and better control magic options, but there is more balance between PC's and I can always send more/stronger enemies at them. I wasn't sold on the no starting ASI's being moved to background, but that's not...

    D&D General Has Tiny Hut actually affected your game? Or has it otherwise mattered?

    We mostly skew lower level so not much just due to that. The spell is theoretically good because it can trivialize one whole playstyle. Though there's quite a few where it has virtually no impact due to DM's just not targeting PC's during rests because the PC's aren't trying to abuse rests...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    When did Roll 20 sales of 5e start? Though, VTT environment I think was a minority back then.

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    Yes... obviously it's everyone else and not the way the question was phrased or poll choices ;) Here's the deal, I think most of us will check it out to see if we want to adopt it. Even the ones that didn't vote that way, they did so not because they wouldn't have done that but because...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    Sometimes the answer is, we just don't have the data to tell us. I fully believe WOTC when they say 2024 is outpacing 2014 in sales comparing from launch date to current. But we don't know if that time period accounts for 1% of overall 2014 sales or 99% of it. Most likely somewhere between...

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    It's wouldn't be surprising that in 2024 more sales are skewing digital than 2014. The exact ratio isn't know but we can guess it's substantially higher.

    2024 D&D Core Rulebooks Off to "Strongest-Ever" Start for D&D Books

    I don't know whether it happened, but even data from the same 'source' years apart may have had an update to it's methodology or data labels and past data may not have been retroactively updated or even the capture rate of that method has changed outside methodology or data labels. It may very...

    D&D 5E (2024) Ranged Builds Thread

    IMO not sure. 2014 had a weird loophole where you could bonus action attack while holding a single hand crossbow by RAW. But without that it appears there’s little reason to dual wield anything and a hand crossbow.

    No it’s because of the ammunition property.

    You can’t. You don’t have the free hand to reload them.

    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    Maybe just maybe most people don’t demand perfection. Maybe just maybe the broken game is houseruled into being fixed at most tables. I think there’s lots of better maybe just maybes than the game has no problems because it’s popular.

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    Yep. And also… Would I switch if I thought it’d be just the core set and nothing else. Probably not. Would I switch if I liked it but any portion of my group hated it. Probably not. Would I switch if it came out too soon after the previous edition. Probably not. I might absolutely love...

    D&D General Ben Riggs interviews Fred Hicks and Cam Banks, then shares WotC sales data.

    One reason to buy big name anything at big name prices is you can expect continued albeit not free support. Another is the networking effect. There’s also usually a decent quality and compatibility standard. Those without that big guy logo can be all over the map in terms of quality, some...

    D&D 5E (2024) If D&D 2024 Had Been Radically Different, Would You Have Stuck With 5E

    I voted. But also Not sure how it’s not relevant seeing as it’s part of the very premise of the thread question.

    It’s a bit loaded saying 2024 wasn’t innovative.

    D&D 5E (2014) Thoughts on bonus action potions?

    I’m afraid that in practice this mostly becomes a defacto caster buff.
