I don’t think anyone argued that newer can never be better, only that it isn’t always better

LoG sounds interesting enough, but being limited to conventions definitely impacts its reach. Any idea when and how this becomes available for home play? I assume it will show up on DMsGuild for that, but not sure

it’s a sandboxy city with factions, so you certainly have some freedom wrt where to go and who to work with vs oppose

sounds like it is a conversion of their adventure, so not just a campaign frame and some guidelines

I was not disagreeing with this, I was only asking whether that class would be so fundamentally different that the overall design approach with magical features would not work for it. To me a supernatural feature and a magical feature are functionally the same, the difference is in the fiction...

ok, but doesn’t that mean they need another class, not that it cannot follow the same design approach they used for the others?

it’s a metal and stone statue, maintenance should be minimal, outside of vandalism

one page each should be enough for most of them, incidentally gets you to around 45 pages too ;)

that is just magical without using that word for it. I don’t see why in DS! you cannot say that is what your Fury character does instead of pretending that it is ‘classic magic’

unified subclass progression across classes, half-caster warlock, druid wild shape templates When all the good ideas were scrapped and only the nitpicky minor stuff was still in the running, I lost all interest in the UA, and I am not impressed with the end result either

a better clue than us, sure, certainty, no

no, you did not, but it sure sounds like they interpreted it correctly… oh, I agree, there should have been an upgrade, my problem is that I do not see 2024 as much of an upgrade and worse in some parts The big upgrades were all thrown away halfway through the playtest

it certainly is a small fraction of all players, but I doubt that the general adoption rate is that far away from the 50% mark. Not everyone that will switch has already switched and not everyone playing 2014 will switch to 2024 either

good luck with that, not sure how you think you can pressure them…

D&D, not Hasbro, and I feel they have exceeded that for most of the past 10 years, so maybe not that impressive after all. Certainly not out of reach for one new book no, but then D&D’s revenue is not 1 Billion, so I have no idea how you arrived there

ok, I agree that that one is hard to reach, but you wrote that ‘2.5-5% increase would be considered a phenomenal success’ and I very much doubt that one Heck, that low a bar is something the FR DLCs could accomplish, and they fill half a book

huh, you wrote 2.5 to 5%, not 50

what do you base that on? Having one extra book should pretty easily accomplish that Also, it is below their growth rate the last 10 years even without extra books

finally, we have identified what makes something a JRPG ;)

that are the IFs, agreed, they did not manage that with me. Pretty sure if they had released a somewhat different version it would not have had much impact on either of your criteria, for that they have to really screw up - and as bad as the playtest is, it lets them identify those cases at...
