Emphasis mine. The only way to know which is more profitable is to know how much (if at all) the publisher increases the print product cost over the actual cost of printing, storing and shipping to the customer.

Printing costs money, but 90% of the work prior to printing is the same. You still have to write it, illustrate it, lay it out, edit it and put it through quality control.

I don't think it is particularly inconsistent. They had a threshold for where they decided the price should and could increase, and the things with lower page counts than that were exempt.

I think D&D 3.5/Pathfinder is a better starting point than 5E for this, since 3.x era D&D gives the players more control in how they develop skills, there are more non combat abilities to pick from, and there are TONS of subsystems in both 3.5 and Pathfinder for things like running businesses...

I think from a prose-craft perspective, Howard is one of the best among his era of pulp writers. But Conan is clearly the person Howard wishes he was and is not a very useful character for trying to figure out what fantasy TTRPG heroes should actual play like -- not least because of the ensemble...

Hey, you are the one that said Which is a pretty aggressive way to present your perspective.

I am not sure why you are so adamant about what kind of adventures must happen at what levels,as if it were some some sort of rule. It isn't. It is just a narrow view in a genre that is supposed to provide infinite possibilities. You absolutely should play the way you want, but don't tell...

Again, only if you think punching people is a solution to corruption. It generally isn't and just exacerbates the problems.

You told another poster you can only do certain kinds of adventures at certain levels. I countered.

I think it is a mistake to think that the "help your uncle gather ingredients" is somehow locked to low level. What if your uncle is an archmage and the ingredients are in the feywild? And a 1st level character can get conscripted and have to march across the country in order to fight under...

It seems to me that you can start 0 level 5 characters with just their species and background, with 5 hp and their proficiency bonus. Then when they hit 1st, they get their class and whatever HP that brings.

Terms have meaning in their context. That you refuse to acknowledge that meaning in order to argue with the term instead of discuss the subject is on you.

Opinionated is NOT a term of judgment. It just means "has an opinion." Thinking it is negative says more about the reader than the system.

EN World is absolutely on point compared to a Facebook group, let me tell you.

I wish you luck?

[NOT HERE] Me: Hey, public forum, I could use some recommendations that fit these precise criteria. Everyone: Let me tell you about my favorite thing that isn't any of those criteria!

What is the intended playstyle, and how does the game enforce it?

So thinking more about this, core 5E does not really offer anything to help with this. That said, there are probably thousands of 3pp books that support different aspects. Does anyone have any recommendations for 5E 3PP books that are aimed at integrating play into the small town, developing...

Don't be afraid to steal liberally. if you have an adventure or starting area or whatever from a published module you like, you can start with that. Reskin it and tweak it to make it yours. File off the serial numbers. Replace major NPCs with ones you made yourself or even stole from somewhere...
