Like I said, that merely compounded the problem. I have played at 4 tables with different DMs and I have never seen anything like the OP posted. Even my current campaign which the DM is more liberal with magic items, we've had multiple dead PCs because the DM adjusted. Quite honestly, the OP...

This is a red herring; we all knew 2024 was going to give a bump in power to PCs. Switching to 2024 rules merely compounded a problem that was already present in this group If they hadn't changed rules the results would've been the same

After reading the entire thread, I have to agree with this. The fact that the similar results have happened in the OPs other campaigns with the same group and DM is telling that there's a problem and PCs are steamrolling the DM. Also, the OP keeps bringing up MCDM monsters and how 2024 monsters...

Not official, but Alphastream's video has a spreadsheet of averages for 2024 MM in the link below: The Math of the 2024 Monster Manual

They did, but the fact that they were not present in the DMG and the MM--along their comments--seems to point out to either they're still fleshing them out for player use, or likely something to include for an updated XGE/TCE book Keep in mind, the focus of the 2024 revision was streamlining...

AlphaStream published his video comparison of the 2024 MM stats vs 2014 DMG monster creation stats vs 2014 MM and Forge of Foes creation rules (complete with spreadsheets). It's an hour long video, but I encourage people to watch and make their own conclusions. Regarding 2024 not including...

Actually makes sense when the new Eberron supplement will include an updated version of the Khoravar as a PC, yet there are no half-elves in the 2024 core books

Actually, it's on the 1-hour MM video last week where JC explained that in 2014 CR was calculated based on using the monster's stats and its most dangerous output option (attack, action, etc). In the same video, he explained the new CR now works by no matter what option you use in the statblock...

Expectations? WotC finally includes the False Hydra as an official D&D monster in this category like the homebrew version. Reality? Not gonna happen, but one can dream...

Not exactly an adventure, but should give you an idea for a Thanksgiving adventure. https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/1851-lets-prepare-an-adventure-using-the-2024-dungeon And, with a name like Gobblor The Roast Lord, what's not to like? :ROFLMAO:

Ouch, someone in KP got spanked for being bad. Nevertheless, good call on their part; they realized they f'ed up and owned up to it.

Passive-aggressiveness aside, I would have been more inclined to accept the "review" if the DMG had been propped up with false advertising, but WotC was very clear through multiple videos as to what it was: a guide for newer DMs primarily. Yet the author knowingly bashes a beginner friendly book...

It looks even more petty when you have Chris Perkins specifically say on one of the marketing videos that one of the goals with the inclusion of Greyhawk was a "show...don't tell" approach to build a campaign.

Yep. Both Chris Perkins and James Wyatt were very clear in those videos that the new DMG was primarily meant to onboard new DMs and those that wanted to try their hand at being a DM, but that experienced DMs could also benefit from it.

I've been following Exodus for about 8 months, and I believe it's going to be a good successor to Mass Effect. Also, there's a prequel novel by Peter Hamilton called Exodus: The Archimedes Engine that does a lot of world building for the setting. The author is also a consultant for the game.

Isn't the Scarlet Brotherhood a KKK expy? From the religious connotations to the clothing, symbols and beliefs? The only thing they share with the Nazis is the takeover of a nation

I didn't get to that, but that's textbook example of chauvinism

I started reading it then dropped it because you can almost hear the condescending tone of the author while reading it. Sure, there are changes that cause friction in continuity, but the problem is that the old Greyhawk had many problematic elements, and WotC tried to move away from them. I at...

Also, there's no Campaign guide for FR in 5E, and there have been people asking for one for years. It's also the most developed setting by WotC and it's author Ed Greenwood

Seems you took those from the Scions of EE, but there are more stat blocks there that are more dangerous. There's about 25 statblocks for enemy creatures that we have access to from the PHB and the free 2024 adventures released and if you notice many monsters have had their HP and abilities...
