So it's no longer possible to discuss the 2024 paladin or the 2024 monk or the College of Dance or Vecna: Eve of Ruin or Greyhawk on these boards without having to retread all of the terrible things that TSR and WotC have ever done? Where should those of us go who used to come here to talk about...

Right, a steady paycheck and benefits are huge incentives for many people. Besides, I think some folks may be overestimating how financially rewarding doing "something on your own" is likely to be; from what I've seen, I don't think most people running Kickstarters, even relatively successful...

Yeah, if only they would produce just ONE adventure or campaign setting based on original or more recent material! Then maybe you would still enjoy playing D&D!

Considering that wholesale renaming/removal of things like monsters, spells, etc. occurred, thus creating untethered references in previously published adventures, campaign settings, and rule supplements, the PF2e Remaster is obviously far less compatible with PF2e than the 2024 D&D rules are...

Just popping in to note that a pile of bricks has quite substantial momentum. I certainly wouldn't want to be in the way of a flying pile of bricks, or have to move a stationary pile of bricks, for that matter. Maybe a pile of feathers...?

Thank you, oh master of the English language, for your attempt to ease the burden upon my frail mind. But with all due humility, may I propose that this depends upon what one's view of "significant" means? The argument that WotC has a plan in place to do away with physical books is promoted by...

That may be, but I made one-time purchases for access to specific content: I never did that on DDI. When someone does that, it comes with at least an implication of ownership; the customer expectation is completely different. Could WotC remove access to paid content on DDB without providing a...

He literally said: "we did it wrong." (= "we are wrong") "And we apologized." (="we are sorry") You don't think you're bringing something extra to this?

The rest of your post raises several reasonable concerns, but I just wanted to address one point, regarding D&D Insider (for 4e). No one bought anything on DDI; you paid for access. When DDI went away, did it suck for people who might've wanted to continue playing 4e? Absolutely. But you didn't...

I think the meaning of that comment is ambiguous. First of all, the quote was "We're not Gary Gygax. We don't get to tell you the right way to do it." To me, that could mean there's an understanding that current stewards of D&D don't have the authority that Gygax once had, so they have to listen...

D&D Pre-orders; this is sad From the original post: And there were other participants in that lengthy thread making the case that WotC's secret plan was to do away with physical books within the next X years. We've had a few folks in this thread claim that "no one is saying" WotC will stop...

I replied to this: And I responded by "ranting" the following: IOW, I used pre-Tasha's races that provided no primary ability score bonus for various spellcasting characters, analogous to the 2024 backgrounds that you stated would be "entirely useless" because they wouldn't provide primary...

I'll make a point of telling that to my (pre-Tasha's) dwarf artificer (no bonus to Int), dwarf warlock (no bonus to Cha), and half-orc bard (also no bonus to Cha). I greatly enjoyed playing those characters, but apparently I've been playing D&D wrong all this time, having fun while continuing to...

Would we even know? They might've been Invisible when they died!

How so?

Does this solve things? Paraphrased description of the Invisibility condition from the new PHB: Specifically, the inclusion of some language that if you can be seen (you're dancing in front of a guard in broad daylight, you're standing in front of a creature with darkvision or blindsight...

Perhaps you've missed the very lengthy thread(s) arguing how much worse the 2024 paladin is than the 2014 paladin due to its inability to nova to the same degree, despite receiving a host of buffs in other areas? Or the other about how wizards SUCK because they don't regularly out-damage...

Well, poop.

Do we know that the 2024 PHB won't do exactly what the 2014 PHB did, which is provide a list of possible deities from various settings for each domain, in the domain's description? If not, maybe we can wait before getting so upset about deities going unmentioned in the PHB.

The ever-expanding set of GURPS supplements certainly made exploiting the system easier over time.
