For a hobby built around pretending to be someone else, it seems like many folks have difficulty imagining hypothetical scenarios. Imagine if a new version of D&D came out while you were still in the midst of playing the current version. The new version is Official D&D, and there is nothing in...

I don't know. I don't think most of the new players are stuck in their ways, and they represent a huge portion of the player base. The grogs are dying out and WotC would do well to stop trying to make them happy (myself included).

I am considering an open table mega dungeon crawl as a con campaign (about 12 hours total play time). SD generally feels like it is designed for smaller delves. Have you used it for a repeat delve megadungeon? How did it go? Do you need any special rules to make it work?

I am curious how you thought that folk lore, rather than video games and D&D, would be a big influence on DH. I don't think anything in the lead up or the book itself would suggest otherwise.

He put all his points into Charisma and Luck. That is not particularly accurate. Golden Age comics characters were often inspired by pulp heroes, for sure, but there was no concept of supers during the height of the pulp mags. It's not my fault. That Billy Zane movie completed wiped The...

Who's that?

This strikes me as arbitrary and would irritate me as a player.

Like I said before, I understand that is is an emotional attachment based on nostalgia and a bunch of other things. And I DO play Daggerheart as Daggerheart and love it. I was just trying to illustrate that a pretty significantly different 6E would still be D&D for me. Which is one of the...

I did not mean to ignore this, it just got away from me. Not too long ago we had a "what should 6E look like" thread and I went into more detail there, but broadly speaking I would like to see a focus on talent trees for characters instead of subclasses, a full mechanical embracing of...

I think cooking is a much more apt analogy overall.

I was initially going to balk, but actually, that is pretty spot on.

I think the instrument vs music analogy breaks down way too easily to be useful for RPGs. So the rules are the instruments and the group is the jazz band. Fine. What are adventures? Sheet music? What are APs and advice videos and other RPG ephemera that aren't strictly "rule books" yet still...

This supposes that "D&D" being on the cover does not matter. For many, it in fact does.

The Shadow. Doc Savage. The Sp;ider. Even Indiana Jones. These are not "ordinary people."

Daggerheart's great strength is that it liberally borrows from a lot of games to create something that is simultaneously new feeling and comfy.

The excluded middle, it burns. The question is about whether you would be inclined to a notably different version of D&D despite a clearly successful and (as far as D&D editions go) venerable -- not to mention EXTREMELY well supported by 3PPs -- edition in 5E is still going strong. I don't...

You literally just said it was with 3E.

EN World runs very old. You are a Millennial if i recall, and represent one of the younger regular posters.

Innovation can be how a thing is built from elements others pioneered, too.
