I assume that if the rules say to disclose this, many DMs in fact would, 5e or not The problem is 5e, not the DMs

I am not sure about that, but WotC definitely was not interested in creating one. For that sales have to tank first

from the perspectiver of someone playing to 12, yes, from the perspective of a designer who designs up to 20, no. As to arithmetical progressions beyond that, I am not sure anyone expect those to hold up great. I doubt they will, even though it is pretty obvious that that is what they did...

I don’t think it is a setting, it’s the stuff that connects different settings, so you can go from one to the other. As the KS said ‘The Labyrinth Worldbook provides something new in 5E tabletop, a campaign overlay. It is a means to connect together as many existing campaign settings as you...

20 levels aren’t exactly open ended though they are also the easier ones to balance. I just don’t think a ‘we tried’ gets you much when the game falls apart around level 10 or 12 despite having 20 of those things.

I don’t know, if you designed a car where the wheels come off at high speeds, I don’t think the defense ‘but only 10% or so ever get to those speeds, this is good design’ would get much traction…

I agree, it would be cheaper, esp. if you want to go high fantasy. It’s just that I would prefer live action maybe I will give them a shot, so far I just never was interested, and it being animated definitely plays a role in that… Need something new while I am on the treadmill anyway ;) i did...

I’d definitely prefer that, but I am not ruling out that WotC says ‘use one of these two’, why else even have them as subclasses in the UA?

haven’t watched them. I was more thinking along the lines of Pixar animation for something to watch ;)

depending on how wide the net you want to cast is, you could also look at adjacent games like 13th Age (probably not for you…), Shadow of the Weird Wizard / Demon Lord, Vagabond, or Shadowdark (ordered from least to most OSR-ish). They might work better for you than the 5e variants

FR are not really a homebrew setting I'd rather have a good live action show, probably not gonna bother with an animated show

not impossible, I still think the subclasses had issues however, esp. the preserver

that depends on how you played back then, we already did not like / tried to avoid character death in the early 80s when we started playing, and not just on the player side. I think the high lethality dungeon crawls were more a short period in the 70s and the game gradually drifted away from...

They are in the Labyrinth Worldbook

must be about how they view the content rather than page count

yeah, I meant if sales numbers were identical, ultimately this will be decided by how many copies they sell

are there worse deals to be had, sure, doesn’t mean it is a good deal though, esp. compared to its direct ‘competition’. Ultimately everyone will assign their own value to this (however you determine that without buying it first), some will buy it, some might not. Nothing much left to say on...

does it? I thought they are all the same size

their margins on the DLC are probably better than on the big FR books…
