    Will the complexity pendulum swing back?

    that is entirely personal, I think 5e should be slightly simpler

    Will the complexity pendulum swing back?

    the game is not predictive at all never, if anything it makes it harder to predict what the correct next word / response would be. I mean, if you want to simulate a random conversation with no real result in mind, maybe it works for that, but that is not what AI outside of spamming Twitter is for

    Will the complexity pendulum swing back?

    that does not feel like progress, have you met most people? When I look at what is going on in the world AI being as misinformed, ignorant, and biased as people means we should switch it off and start over

    Will the complexity pendulum swing back?

    I don't know, when I got the 1e books, I decided to ignore maybe half of the rules on my first read-through before even starting a game, because they were just too much added complexity for no apparent gain (and possibly some detrimental effects...) as far as I was concerned. I don't think I...

    Will the complexity pendulum swing back?

    I am not that familiar with it, but from what I gather it is less crunchy than any version of D&D (1e to 5e,). Whether that makes it rules lite, I do not know

    Will the complexity pendulum swing back?

    being less crunchy than those does not make you rules-lite 5e is not rules lite, neither are 1e or 2e

    D&D 5E (2024) How can I do a Charisma-Investigation (or a Strength/Dexterity-Investigation if I can't use Charisma) to find a secret door?

    no, they are not there at all Besides, why would they be there and then watch the party being stuck on things they are good at?

    D&D General Should the third Forgotten Realms DLC have actually been set in the Forgotten Realms?

    The two upcoming FR books can be bought in a bundle along with three 'DLCs', one of those is about Lorwyn Astarion’s Book of Hungers: a digital expansion with new vampire-themed player options, monsters, and adventure content – shared by Astarion himself! ($14.99) | Release Date: November 11...

    D&D 5E (2024) Using Action Surge to cast spells in 2024

    none of them make that distinction, the spell is cast and immediately thereafter, still on your turn, the energy is being released. The spell is never ‘readied’ in any of them. That being said, I agree that the spell has been fully cast on your turn even when you take the Ready action, that is...

    Dungeons & Dragons to Release Lorwyn: First Light, a New Digital Expansion Based on Magic: The Gathering World

    there is one on KS right now https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/thedmlair/feybound-trickery-of-the-wilds not sure what is currently available out there EDIT: legendary Games had a KS a while ago, that should be out by now, I do not have it / an opinion on it though...

    Dungeons & Dragons to Release Lorwyn: First Light, a New Digital Expansion Based on Magic: The Gathering World

    possibly, if they intended on printing each individually. They could also print all three along with some other stuff in a full 200 page book or devote a full 128 or 160 pages to these three supplements as a separate book. Not sure what their rationale was, but whatever it was, the end result...

    Dungeons & Dragons to Release Lorwyn: First Light, a New Digital Expansion Based on Magic: The Gathering World

    agreed, the 32 page limit is arbitrary / self imposed however, esp. since this is a digital product and the pages do not need to come in multiples of 16. No technical restriction was stopping them from making it 40 pages or even 64 or more. Personally I would prefer a more chunky offering, esp...

    D&D General Fall of Netheril- The Return of the Arcane Age Subsetting

    not sure, I think in true capitalist fashion they simply set the price point to where they estimate they make the most profit and my idea of this being in relation to digital page count or yours for a printed version of it are both just quaint ideas. In any case, I still evaluate it based on...

    D&D General Fall of Netheril- The Return of the Arcane Age Subsetting

    all the ones that are available as books are priced at 50% or 60% or the printed book price, that seems to be the norm for digital these days. Since there is no printed version for this, they are not potentially cannibalizing print sales by going for a price point below 50% of the printed book...

    D&D General Fall of Netheril- The Return of the Arcane Age Subsetting

    yeah, but these aren't books, so I see no reason why I should base their price on book logic. For books the hardcover makes up a disproportionate amount of the price and explains why it is not linear with the page count, digital has no such oddity, here amount of content vs price can and should...
