Happens to me all the time!

I think you are taking that to an extreme. Having different rules doesn't necessarily mean lots of things being restricted or cut (or even any), it just means different ways of doing things. Personally, my group likes restrictions and forced limitations. They thrive on it. I don't think I would...

I agree with most of your post except this bit: I think the beauty of a narrow setting can be that it strongly pushes a game you're familiar with in new, different, interesting directions without it being a completely new RPG. That is actually what I wish WotC had done and used settings as a...

IDK. We have 1 page of houserules (which I have shared on these forums several times). That is the least amount of houserules we have had in any edition of D&D we have played (1e, 4e, & 5e). So, from our perspective, we are playing D&D more RAW now than ever! To us, D&D = houserules and...

Interesting. I find the 2024 monsters generally more engaging in lively the 2014 MM monsters. Not 100%, but generally they feel more lively, engaging, and interesting to me. Everyone is different!

You can do that the other way too. Of course WotC has done neither. As a DM I would rather they give me everything and then I and my group can choose to dial it down (like we have). But everything comes at this a bit differently!

Thank you for the response. I still don't really get it and I can't comment much on this take. I guess that has never been a noncable issue to me (as a DM) since we started playing 1e in the 1980s. Everyone plays the game different. We have never cared much about resource management, tracking...

Thank you for the response. Can you clarify what you man by this:

That is a bunch of word salad to me (to be clear I am saying that it is to me - not that it definitely is). Like I said, I have not noticed any appreciable difference in play.

I heard a lot of the same complaint with 4e and 5e14. So what is different with 5e24 IYO? Personally, I am not seeing any real difference in play. I let my players chose whichever book they want to use for their characters. It doesn't matter to me as a DM. I don't feel the 24 PCs are more...

I'm 52 and I had never heard of rule 34 until this thread. At least I have no memory of hearing about it until now.

I just don't really play computer games and I have never owned a gaming system (well not since the first gen or so Atari in the 80s). So it is not likely to change now!

Well I never played them so...no influence on my table!

Yep, that is it. I am not sure what the issue is - it looks quite good to me.

Well it depends on your perspective. I know very little and don't care about Drizzt. I know of Icewind Dale because it is part of the game / setting. I really had no idea Drizzt was connected to Icewind Dale. For me, and others like me, the two are not connected because Icewind Dale is a part...

Your best odds are when dragons are on the cover!

It doesn't appear like it (at least in PF2). This is what I got from the AoN. The only thing that confuses me is that last sentence: ",,,either chose from the list you made for that region or choose your own." Source GM Core pg. 209 2.0 When exploring, there is always a chance the PCs will...

If memory serves me correctly, before 3e the covers rarely and only vaguely had anything to do with the internal contents of the magazine.
