there is no point in looking for actual sales data unless you get the same slice of actual data for both the 2014 and 2024 books, and you are not getting that. Whether you use the Bookscan numbers or not, you are at best reading tealeaves as also noted earlier they never were reliable to begin...

Chances are there are hundreds of thousands of unaccounted copies, from DDB alone digital, print and bundles of the two (which would count as two copies sold...)

there is a difference between not reliable and completely absent, and even if they still were not reliable, two unreliable numbers do not get you to a reliable difference between them

not really, WotC does not report their direct book sales to Bookscan for example, and by now that apparently is a pretty sizable chunk of the market. There most likely are other differences in the data collection approach too (Amazon)

ok, I see where you are coming from now. To me that will always be the reaction of most people though, so it is not a good indicator of when to start work on a new edition. The real indicator, as for any other edition, will be low sales, until then WotC will not work on one.

not sure how you arrive at this conclusion, given that we have no idea what the changes in the hypothetical new version are (apart from not being a complete turn-off) the logical next step from my perspective is to take a look next rather than either to jump in blind or reject it blindly. I...

to be fair, I left TTRPGs during 2e and returned during 5e, so I missed some stuff that came and went (and some stuff that is sticking around too, I am sure) ;) Sounds like something the OSR is using in its adventures today however. Not sure 4e was the first to use it or if it would fail your...

Mine would be Shadow of the Weird Wizard / Demon Lord (the better 5e) Dragonbane (as old school as I would like to get) Savage Worlds (for everything else)

it’s the new hot thing, would be interesting to see where it is on a poll like this in two to three years

are we talking about rules or adventures? Novels are completely recognizable for over a hundred years, add to this that WotC frequently rehashes earlier modules and you being able to recognize them as adventures is not a surprise, I would be concerned (about WotC’s ability to produce something...

you cannot just redefine what words mean and then say ‘but this is how I use them’, not without causing confusion at least

it wasn’t a comparison to what WotC does, it was trying to see where @Hussar draws the line on It means nothing assembled from preexisting parts can ever be innovative, even if they never were assembled in this particular way in which they now serve a different purpose or better meet an...

agreed, the original question was not limited to 2024 however but to 50 years of D&D agreed, but based on the ‘innovation means it needs to be something new, not just using parts that already existed’ even songs would not qualify, Based on that criteria, 99.9% of ‘innovations’ would not be...

or improve / change something existing by combining existing things in a new way (and adding some ideas of its own) Songs all use existing notes, does that mean there is no such thing as new music?

slightly more than two pages, but less than 10 rooms ;) https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-L_0WX-KKXsZA22VHr5j

yes, but that was not the question asked... is a far cry from 'perfectly match your tastes'

the fact that it was a single person, not 'people'?

so basically they do not want 2024 because it is the same and they do not want anything else because it is different and they need to learn new rules… sounds like you are stuck

I did not move to 2024 because it was just a minor iteration on 5e. A larger change would certainly have been more interesting so I would have checked it out at least

bards are bad, I wish they would be removed, wait, actually I wish I had a lot of money and bards would be removed
