It’s been updated!

Yeah I’m in my mid 30s myself and feel like I am getting all the things I was wanting when I was 13 and just starting to get into 3rd edition as it was released. I’m not saying they didn’t have a different experience but this has been overall great. Not perfect but pretty great.

You and me both, my dude. edit: I’m not a gen Xer. I’m just broke and going to be homeless, dang expensive children.

I find it reasonable. Older gamers may have the income to support big expenditures but we also have a ton of products presumably already, dwindling shelf space, kids and grandkids and mortgages and car payments and our friends don’t have as much time to play as they have big responsibilities as...

Interesting timing too with Skyraiders coming out. We are about to get a resurgence of Weis and Hickman the likes of which the world has never (hyperbole) seen!

On this sentiment, the day they update Shackled Coty to 5e and Age of Worms is the day I stop buying books and live forever in those two adventures

Ok but here is the point I’m trying to make. We can’t say they are trying to thread the needle and make everyone happy and ALSO say they are only targeting new players. These are conflicting statements, only one can be true. I agree 100% they are trying to play both sides (they should! It’s...

It’s a genius strategy, making sure they don’t leave anyone out. As I am stuck in the middle of old and new, it’s like a golden age for my collecting.

Or it supports that older gamers aren’t supporting WotC so they are going where the money is. It’s a two way street.

Hilarious point about the “don’t need combat to finish” part they touted when the book released. It’s true, you don’t need to fight but sometimes to avoid a fight you have to make some SHADY decisions. It’s sort of hilarious. “Sure you don’t have to be violent. But your going to for sure enable...

Your changing your original statement which was that this has been the case since 2014 and now stating this has been the case in the last 3-4 years. Ok. Let’s talk about the last 3-4 years. 2018: neverwinter Nights enhanced edition released. First of the Original Adventures Reincarnated...

Rise of Tiamat, Baldurs Gate, Tomb of Annihilation, princes of the apocalypse, storm kings thunder, curse of Strahd, dungeon of the mad mage: all attempts to appeal to more established players. Even their new adventures are chock full of Easter eggs and references to npcs and places and events...

what square pegs were forced for Strixhaven?

So they thought, until the great Malystryx appeared….: :)

That’s me I’m this person

I think he means “the sentiment is the important part of that statement, not necessarily the root.”

Oooooo I need to buy planescape now, if only to be privy to some sweet sweet TSR drama. is tenebrous (?) gygax, revised from his “death” and secretly mucking things up? Is the great world tree a tree they all ate lunch under?!

What is an impure conversion?

I’ve been saying this ever since the first print run of The Odessey! It’s not new to print it we all know the story stop giving us what we already had, HOMER. Not even his story anyway. People have no idea what they were doing buying that and what they would end up doing to gamers in the 2020’s

Before someone says “ah but you said WOTC before not specifically d&d!” I just want it clear that one of those settings is less than a year old, another less than 4, another less than 10, and all four only recently have become a playable setting book. To imply that any of these are old or to...
