These look interesting. I wasn't sure about getting these books, but recent previews and discussion have me at least leaning to getting the adventure book.

never mind - wrong thread

I actually think that is the opposite of the truth. Planescape is more similar to the "default" D&D setting. It should therefore be more generic or at least accommodating. FR is a specific setting and can lean into is particular unique items.

Why do you assume they wouldn't call it 6e?

It of course depends. Our customized version of D&D is the ideal game for us and the most fun we have had playing D&D ever. Now if the game changed to be more like our game, then we might "adopt" it. However, if it would make the game more difficult to play the way we want, then no we would not...

more (selfish)?

IDK, I hadn't seen any numbers on what they made from DriveThruRPG before. That was interesting.

Per the video: 2014 sales were about 29m, and similar for 2015 & 2016 (which is unusual as they typically go down). But then the sales double in 2017 and continue to go up each year.

About 26 min: D&D goes from 15.5 m to 71.1m from 2013 - 2019 (and mostly all RPG growth)

Yep it is weird and regional. My local FLGS can't keep the 2024 PHB in stock. It took me about 8 months after launch to get a hand on one!

I am just the opposite - I find little vignettes like these much more useful than a traditional published adventure. If I buy a premade adventure I have to tear it apart in encounter nuggets like these and throw away all the story and NPCs. So a lot of wasted space. This is quick, efficient, and...

I believe several outlets ran the story, and it was discussed here on enworld, but here is from Polygon Here is the quote from the article: "The English language version of the 2024 Player's Handbook alone achieved in just one month what took nearly two years for the 2014 edition across all...

IDK, I find it pretty easy to mix and match. However, I can guess by the description of your games I am not as constrained by outside forces as you are. Heck, I can play 5e on the fly with just the improve rules from the DMG.

IDK, I find the map interesting. With all those elevation changes and places to hide I could conjure up some fun encounters with that.

To be clear, it is not my eyesight per se (the text is in focus), it is the distracting nature of the color "wave." It is how my mind process the pattern, not my eyes really.

Thank you - that was very helpful and makes a lot of sense.

(IIRC) Both, the stat blocks are harder for me as they are smaller than the headings. I think the issue for my eyes is that it is not a solid color behind the text. The "reflection" effect acts a bit like zebra stripes and obfuscates the text to my old eyes.

Could you clarify how you think the die makes it more clear to the the players? I've been toying with the idea of changing to prof. die, but I just didn't see the benefit vs the (assumed) increased processing time
