worked fine for LotR, they should stick to the book here too imo You can have Goldmoon and Riverwind as natives, blond hair or not, and if you want to, make the Majeres hispanic, but asian and black are basically out

nah, the spell is overpowered full stop. I am fine with shelter from the elements, but it should not withstand a lot of sustained damage

very few skills will transfer over to Maps. If your job was to make 3d assets for Unreal Engine, Maps is not what you will work on next.

and that guy needs a low level party to take care of things for him? Auril? That is because a tier 2 party is supposed to win the fight, not because CR11 and up is appropriate / reserved for minor gods or more powerful entities

The name is Oath of the Noble Genie, but based on the description Oath of the Elements would be more appropriate imo. “Paladins who swear the Oath of the Noble Genies draw their might from the Elemental Planes”

I kinda am, I stopped after the first three books because at his pace I have to start over after a new book anyway ;)

I know, but if you read the rest of the text, you should notice that it is only minimally streamlined rather than talking about 'how much they've simplified the system' as you put it

anything else would have been a surprise, given the growth 5e experienced over the 10 years

they are not talking about that... "We've been working on it for the last few years, just trying to find where are those bits where we can make it a little bit simpler without losing anything. Where the additional complexity doesn't really give the returns in terms of satisfaction of the...

I certainly hope for this as a tie-in to the show. Heck, I take it without a show too :D

yeah, they certainly are willing to spend on it, $250M for the license is not cheap, and apparently there are penalties if they make fewer seasons too...

no, 3e sold around 500k PHBs, the 1M is 3e and 3.5 combined, according to Ben Riggs’ numbers

that $400M is pretty suspect, I would not put much faith in it. Also, that is still below production cost apparently, of the first season only…

those are ProfDM numbers, aren’t they? He is off quite a bit for at least 5e, 1e, 2e and 3e we have a pretty good idea (and he lumped 3e and 3.5 together there…) because we have the actual TSR numbers and pretty good WotC number. The 5e number is Bookscan though and way too low, the actual...

Didn’t they reduce it from 30+ to 3 developers months ago? Development effectively ended then (yeah, they released a few minis and maybe fixed some issues in the meantime, but for all intents and purposes it was dead then), this just makes it official

take a look, it’s only 2 pages anyway… I see nothing innovative here, a mine map with two encounters and little else. Nothing clever, nothing unexpected, nothing interesting. Confirms everything I already didn’t like about the adventure stubs in the DMG. Was not interested in those, certainly...

yeah, you do not spend $250M on a license and $465M on the first season and then expect a show that is an ‘also ran’ that looses 60% of its viewers during season one (that is one metric Amazon cannot be happy with, whether they admit it or not). You could accomplish that for a lot less money…...

I am not calling them dishonest, I say they have their reasons for not telling everyone what their metrics are and whether they were met, and some of those reasons are about saving face Not telling me something does not make you dishonest, telling me something that you know isn’t true does

I disagree, and by that logic we would never know that anything failed or succeeded. There are metrics to go by, we do not need to speculate about what someone in charge may or may not consider acceptable. If you spend 3 times as much as a comparable show that gets 50% more audience (numbers...

sure it failed, bad reviews, drastically reduced viewer numbers. It hasn’t been cancelled but that is not the same as not failing
