Pot, meet Kettle. Kettle, meet Pot. I'm sure you have a lot in common.

Yes. It's pretty spot on as an analogy. And the people who do improv adventures would be like an improv jazz odyssey/jam session. Music teachers, mentors who share techniques, wahwah pedals, filters, custom pickups, whammy bars, fuzzboxes, everything else that helps a musician produce the music...

Yeah, not gonna do that because, quite frankly, one of the nice things going for it is the campaign setting already has an audience of fans out there. That's a positive network effect that will make it easier for any DM picking up the setting books to recruit enthusiastic and interested players...

But it's not just me involved in the decision. That game may be even more attuned to my preferences than 5e, but that might not be the case for my players. And 5e is close enough to my preferences that I'm willing to forego an edition even closer to my preferences if my players prefer 5e. So...

Well, present in more than just the Old Empires as well. There's a handful that's always been part of the FR's main setting.

When you're got an entertainment product that's meeting your needs and doing a reasonably good job of it and, more importantly, you like it, major innovation for the sake of innovation becomes overrated.

It does, in some languages. But even where variations on milliard exists, apparently "thousand millions" comes up in common usage and remains a correct notation. So the source of Ken Burnside's info and how it may have been translated is still relevant.

Maybe. But if the source of that figure was originally French (or one of several other European countries) where long scale numbers are a normal feature, 1,200 million would be correct notation rather than 1.2 (or even 1.200) billion. In long scale, you don't get to a billion until you've got a...

The problem could be where the source of the 1,200 million value originally came from that Ken Burnside included in his facebook post - because there are places on the globe where 1,200 million is NOT 1.2 billion. Long scale vs short scale numbers.

Probably not the best movie to take a blind date to if you want to have a second date.

If see invisible is only making it evident which creatures are under the effects of some kind of invisibility magic, it's hardly giving out the equivalent of detect magic.

I do a little of it, usually as DM and usually to emphasize something about the NPC's character. I use my own voice and just change up tone, expression, and cadence a bit for most NPCs and my own PCs.

The thing here is - if you want to arm the goblins with short bows, use the goblin warrior stat block instead of the goblin minion one. Changing their weapons can change the amount of damage they're putting out and thus can contribute to changing their CR (in this case from CR 1/8 to CR 1/4)...

Are you KIDDING me? I've been playing this game for over 40 years. I AM an old customer. And I can tell you that NOBODY is ignoring me. I'm swimming in nostalgia-oriented products from WotC and have been all the way through the 5e run. And that's great. I'm digging it. And I'm all for WotC being...

Which is great until your cleric is down, out of spell slots, or is tied up and busy with something else. But even if just looking at just potions of healing, there are any number of reasons quaffing that potion might be a preferred or even necessary thing to do. Once you also add in other...

Oompa Loompa Doompity Doo I've got another warning for you...

I hope you see the problem here, right? If you try to be inclusive of more customers, other customers are treating that as excluding or insulting them. It's impossible to be ideologically neutral in that situation because one segment of the customers is making it impossible to do so.
