Yeah I might also be confused as well but I thought the discussion was around putting all Aberrations in one section, all Monstrosities in a section, etc. I have no issue with putting all variants of, let's say all variations of "Dragon, Age Color" or "Giant, Element" together. It's still...

Essential? Absolutely nothing There's a bunch of great third party content out there that I use for inspiration but I wouldn't say anything is essential

Great Wheel for me, it works great

Um no? Which monster manual are you referring to that was organized by creature type and not alphabetically? I have no idea which book you're referring to

My thoughts on a few separate questions you asked: The new crafting rules are likely a selling point for many people. Not really for me since I had my own homebrew crafting rules - I'll incorporate some aspects of the 2024 DMG rules, but mostly stick with what I already had. DnD Magic Items...

Scimitar has Nick and Shortsword is Vex. The OP labeled them backwards but the bottom line answer is the same

Organizing alphabetically makes FAR more sense to me. If I had to memorize what type of monster everything is in order to find which section it is in, I'd throw that book right out

The thread is tagged as 5e, and the OP directly asked "what are peoples' thoughts on the current cosmology in 5e?". It's a thread about 5e

Choosing to not move on your turn is NOT the same thing as being reduced to 0 movement speed. The wording you clipped would not apply.

That is not a rule in 5e. It is not written anywhere to be the case, and there is a tweet from Jeremy Crawford to state the opposite: https://x.com/JeremyECrawford/status/623352593952038912

Books typically are split up into multiple chapters, and this organizational structure generally works quite well, yes.

The only thing controversial is that you're stating your opinion as if it is a fact, but other people disagree with your opinions. I disagree that the PHB and DMG have serious organizational issues - organization is probably the most widely praised aspect of the books in various online...

I think it's really important for the DM to decide which type of cosmology they are using and then to stick with that approach to keep verisimilitude, but as a player I don't really care as long as things stay internally consistent. Between cosmology, pantheons, and the general world map...

Because he started a thread asking about it? By definition he does care, how is this a question?

Hexcrawl exploration is such an uncommon niche playstyle that I would be shocked to see more than a passing mention in the DMG. I see it mentioned online all the time but I have never once met a person in real life who has ever played in a Hexcrawl campaign. I actually am surprised there are...

Every campaign I've ever played in had trips at some point to multiple planes other than the Prime Material Plane. Past maybe level 10 or so, what can you even do that is challenging? Either the players visit other planes, or denizens of other planes start visiting the players. Either way, I...

I directly said that I might be misunderstanding what you meant and that I apologize if I misunderstood - that is hardly pouncing and calling you racist. I'm not sure what you mean by "the second part" or "engaging with the question", so I'll go ahead and bow out rather than risk further...

Thank you for saying the quiet part out loud. I'm not clear whether you're being sarcastic or serious, but it's quite jarring on a website like this that preaches diversity and inclusion that someone could argue that medieval Asian culture doesn't belong in an adventure about knights in shining...

An approach I have considered but never put work into implementing is to remove Bonus Actions by making them free actions that just happen automatically under certain circumstances. For examples, see how Vow of Enmity and Sacred Weapon were changed from Bonus Actions in 5.0e to automatically...

It is impossible to prove you wrong that you personally prefer to play without dice rolls outside combat, but I can very easily prove you wrong that I greatly prefer the 5e Rules As Written with skillchecks to determine success outside combat. I want character builds and characters' abilities...
