I have never understood the value of clones except in very particular (probably unethical) medical circumstances. otherwise, if you can clone, you can just fertilize eggs.

It is too late now but I would have LOVED a Dark Empire film in 1999.

I would be happy with a re-do of the Prequels, but make it jive more with ANH. Also keep HC and EM.

I mean, there is the animated series...

I for one was enjoying the bit.

So given that, what would you suggest in order to give this player what they want -- a reason not to nova every fight?

I feel like Magic has the advantage of not having to produce a big tome of lore and rules to introduce their new worlds. They obviously create a lot of evocative art, and they of course do the game design in the cards, but that still leaves a lot of "white space" in the settings. Regardless of...

This is mostly musing and hoping for pleasant conversation and light debate. I really like the broad food based analogy* for RPGs. Like all analogies, it isn't perfect, but I think it hits pretty well overall. GMing IS, in fact, a lot like cooking -- and that means GMs range from "toss it in...

We are about due for a Lord of the Rings reboot -- which I don't want (although I would absolutely rush out to see delToro's Hobbit adaptation if it got made).

In general I don't think they do -- but it would be nice if they did. One thing I have found specifically about many 5E era Kickstarters is we often don't know much about who is making the thing, and a lot of them feel very fly by night or at least more hoping for a windfall than loving D&D. As...

If I was forced to choose, I would definitely take a big fat Eberron adventure anthology over a new setting.

At the very least, it helps the kind of player who can't remember what to roll and how. Just push the button, Kevin.

As I asked before, how does limiting it to only Hard encounters affect that number, if at all? Obviously, most people don't run high level games, so I am probably wishing in the wind here.

One of these days I should pick up both Ravnica -- about which I know nothing other than I think it is a world city? -- and Theros -- because I love Greek inspired stuff and I understand that it has "mythic" rules for monsters. I don't explicitly dilike M:tG or its worlds, I just want something...

Thanks. As a reminder, I am looking for help figuring out the actual design part: how many creatures, what CR, how many encounters, etc.

As I said, I have been running mostly big set pieces where the party can just let loose. But a player has explicitly asked for more attrition based design. Hence why I am asking.

To be clear, I love it when it happens, but it does not happen that often. I was convinced by the previews (especially the art in the MM) to buy D&D 5E 2024 and I wish I had not fallen for it. But even so, I would still buy a new (not MtG) full setting for 5E from WotC if it looked like...

Tell that to the hot dog fundamentalists.
