This matches up with how I imagine to be the case. I am not sure the "Franchise model" will make much difference here. I am of the opinion that Sigil was a solution looking for a problem and if the same effort had been put into D&DBeyond WoTC would be better off. I think that D&DBeyond needs a...

I wonder how they managed the heat. Maybe the handle or clip on part was not metallic?

Congratulations, you have reinvented healing surges from 4e.

The best lesson in this that I ever had, back in the late eighties, 2 friends were playing some flavour of modern micros, (1/300, if I remember correctly) and the scenario was a Soviet armoured force advancing into something vaguely resembling the Fulda Gap being met by a US armoured cavalry. 3...

Anything other than straight fighter or barbarians.

Agreed with regard to 3 and 4e but I think with 5e it is as much habit as anything else. The advice to not ask for a D20 test unless the outcome is in doubt, seems to me to be a nod in the direction of the fiction.

I am pretty sure they were carbide lamps, which were not that big, as compared to an oil lantern and according to an earlier post were not that hot. I can attest from experience that oil lanterns get very hot.

I would say the same in D&D.

People do survive in stories and in real life. 20 foot falls are more often crippling than deadly.

Another thing to consider, are character protagonists? That is, do they have some measure of plot protection and are expected to die rarely or are they expected to die often or some hybrid of the two?

I think you are correct, in that we are not likely to notice much if any change. At least not immediately. I get the impression that teams in WoTC are tightly siloed. This may be an attempt to get more cross team coordination but that kind of culture change in an organisation can be difficult...

The problem, I find with reality in combat, is that reality is pretty damn random. As someone who has dabbled into accounts of fights, there are a lot of people who died of one unfortunate punch, many that survived and won fights with considerable wounds and many that despite fatal wounds...

When you say spread, you mean like 3 cards or a more elaborate pattern? Or something like the Journey Spread?

This is a very cool I idea, I have had similar but never attempted to turn it into something actionable. I am very interested in what you come up with and the suggestions here.

Connery is my fav Bond but I really liked the Craig era

But is that a long-term trend or a summer trend? How high was that peak that might have been present at the Zero date. It is interesting data, but I am not at all sure what it is telling us. I presume that this includes users reading the forums, reading articles, using tools and the like. It is...

More data is always nice but we cannot make any claims about the new core books out of this since we do not have similar data from before. It would be very interesting though to see the annual profile, particularly if it repeats on an annual basis.

In other words they are still too much damn work. From the amount of effort described so far, I cannot see myself using them. They need to be more computationally efficient and some way that they do colour outside the lines, so to speak.

Ok, I wanted to respond to this. The best thing about these rules is that there is no DMPCs, supporting NPC, sidekick characters or the like. As a DM I have enough stuff to be running on my side of the table without adding DMPCs and most people that I played with no not want the mental overhead...

On its own, no, or at least not more interesting than the Wind Dukes of Aaqa. It really depends on where you are going with it.
