Maybe, but most 12 year olds don't have money.

-I think 6E should extend the game back out to 30 levels again (like 4E did). -Have more decision points. Printing books with more feats doesn't do much of anything for me when 5E so heavily limits how many I can take. - feats should not compete with ability score increases; if the game...

Thanks. To answer the original post: no. I had not heard of that until this thread.

What is the X card?

If there's a spectrum, I think my group leans toward Open Sandbox, but there are also a few pre-established Lego pieces. Thinking more, I think that our current game is less like Legos and more like stones of adventure tossed into a pond. The pond was already there and already existed. Elements...

I think this will be a pass for my group. For the people who want it, I am glad that they have a product they can support. For me, I am having a hard time justifying spending money on this. Visually, whether or not I like the new art varies wildly, but leans toward being an overall no in the...

The easiest example is that D&D 5E design places zero value on different methods of movement or movement speed. The default mindset behind the design is that being able to teleport, fly, or move any number of distance every round does not in any way impact CR. While that may be a minor detail...

Not really my thing, but could have been worse. Could have had an order based on Topaz Dragons who ride their horses backward.

I partially agree that game design has evolved as lessons were learned from previous editions of games. So, it may be that the "how" has improved in regards to how a game is structured for some games. However, sometimes, I also feel that modern designers have very different ideas concerning...

Why is "modern design" automatically assumed to be a good or preferable thing?

Maybe, given the psionic nature of gem dragons, the wings aren't actually like that. It's a psychic projection to intentionally make the dragon look helpless and incapable of flight, to lure in potential prey.

I think what people are saying is that "how it can be done" is to have a completely different creature than the 5e24 Topaz Dragon. You'd essentially be starting from scratch to design a new creature. So, the first step to accomplishing that would be to come up with the new creature concept...

I do think it can be interesting to see where people draw mental lines. However, I can understand some of it. While a realm of fantasy could do anything, I am still less likely to accept that (as a normal thing) gnomes sleep on treasure piles, fly, and burninate the countryside.

I don't like that the new dragonborn are more strictly color coded. I liked it better when dragonborn were related to dragons but not necessarily 1-to-1 miniature representations of the dragons. In general, I'm not a big fan of 5e24's art direction. I cannot deny that some of the art is...

It's tough for me to pick a favorite, but I did highly enjoy The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I agree that it could be a series of loosely linked adventure modules. The Horse and His Boy is pretty good. I remember that I went into it expecting to not like it because the description on the back...

Could be. Now, as an adult, it is obvious to me that it is a religious allegory. However, I never felt that Lewis was using Narnia to push a particular religion on me. Yeah, sure, he was someone who was very open about talking about his faith, but I never personally felt it was done in a way...

While I did read Tolkien (The Hobbit) way before playing D&D, I would say that C.S. Lewis had more of an impact on me. So much so that, when I did first play D&D, it rubbed me the wrong way that there were multiple types of elves but only one type of dwarf (rather than the red dwarves and black...

It's not hard. My comment was that what's true in a fictional world can include things that do not adhere to day-to-day life on Earth. Those differences sometimes include things like sci-fi robots programmed to kill or beings directly crafted directly by a divine being who imparts specific...

Where I think it gets a little complicated in fantasy is that some creatures are said to be created by deities or supernatural beings that program them with certain behaviors.

I am not familiar with the source material. How is this game different from D&D?
