Why would they think people would be happy to lose access to the older stuff, though? That's what I don't get. (I don't use D&D Beyond, but I gather the problem was that they were going to make the 2014 stuff completely disappear?)

Thanks, @JEB ! That's exactly what I was looking for.

That's my guess too, based on the "want to control 100% from my own computer" point.

Thanks! I was able to find those with the help of the titles. Also found "Travelers of the Multiverse" from late 2021.

Thanks for the tip. Just grabbed a copy for safekeeping.

I want to be sure I have a complete collection of 5E's Unearthed Arcana, but WotC's website makes it difficult to find. All I can get to is the 2024 playtest material. I know the older UA pdfs are still available because I found some with random Google searches. Does anyone have a list of the...

My bad, I was thinking of something else.

I've always thought saber (sabre) is to cutlass as katana is to wakizashi, or as longsword is to shortsword. Longer blade, in other words.

I love concentration and the way it prevents buff-stacking. I think the choice that it forces is an interesting one. So, rather than changing the rules for concentration, I'd just house rule which spells require it. If there are some spells that are interesting but aren't taken dut to...

It's not D&D-based, but it could be mined for setting inspiration: Cavaliers of Mars.

I also note that article says that it has only recently been the case (as of 2023) that the majority of D&D players are "5E babies."

I'm not the OP, but I interpreted that to mean that the 4E rules (arguably) codified things so tightly that some DMs may have felt there wasn't enough space to improvise or make their own calls. Not saying this is objectively true, as I don't want to open the 4E can of worms, but I can see how...

Re all the comments about the DMG: I actually would guess that most 5E DMs, at least those who got on board in the early days of the edition, learned from the original Starter Set and Lost Mine of Phandelver. Which didn't hand-hold for the DM but did provide a good adventure to "learn by doing."

A favorite with my group is "Cooperate," especially when paired with zone of truth.

I haven't seen this sentiment.

Actually, I thought he was implying a moral failing on the part of 5E, that it (supposedly) didn't manage to keep the majority of pre-3E DMs in the game.

Even assuming that's accurate (it doesn't match my experience), are you saying those DMs were not "experienced" enough to teach 5E?

I know this is one heck of a necro, but I was just wondering whether a clean version of the map exists anywhere?

Downloaded, thanks! And I think your maps are beautiful.

Can't you just refluff the paladin's abilities?
