I think Mind Flyer was the original name and illithid was the 2e name (where they changed a lot of monster names).

This may also be my problem! I do think 5e is the best version of D&D thus far but I am pretty excited to play some Delta green or WFRP next.

Yes this - I'd rather not be told that because I have preferences and miss something about 3e then I am not playing DnD or would rather be playing other things.

To be honest, I don't think we'll get this because the way characters advance along a linear line is baked into the system.

I'm a long term D&D player, starting with Red Box but I also played a fair bit of 2e, tons of 3/3,5(& PF) and while I skipped 4e I've been playing 5e for about a year and a half now. The first year was as a DM and it was a revelation - easy to prep, easy to run and a total relief after 3.5. I...

I think you’re confused with Modern AGE

I've always like Wyatt's stuff.

100% this. I could care less but if people are happy, great! And if it brings Magic people into D&D I figure that's good too. Also, I enjoy the other 5e books even though my interest in FR is pretty much nill so I might get soemthign out of this too.

Yes, that too

I like OotS and Rich Burlew so I'd be very interested in reading the setting docuemnts he handed over. What I wouldn't want was anything that took him away form the comic!

I'm sort of repeating what has been said upthread but while there's lots of magic in 5e, the magic is less essential. If you played a traditional fighter, rogue, cleric and wizard party (not chosing the arcance fighter and rogue types) in 5e really only at will cantrips would represent 'more'...

I like it - it reminds me of the Culture from Iain M Bank's books.

Of course he doesn't need to justify it. But given he did provide a reason, I think it makes sense we can comment on it. I am glad he did justify it personally - I am always interested in why people make those decisions. I know a lot of people have said they duidn't by Volo's because they don't...

That's a very specific thing to want from the book.

I use a pretty undefined homebrewed set of planes that is roughly based off of the 3e FR arrangement. Essentially the inner planes work roughly as intended and then there is a chain of upper and lower planes with the Prime in the middle. The key idea is that Hell protects the Prime from the...

I've never heard anyone object to homebrewed worlds as a matter of principle before. I kind of know what you mean however (and I'm exclusively a homebrew GM).

And humans aren't 5' wide - it's a representation of how much space you take up in combat.

I was amazed to see no one mentioned Star Wars Minis on here but of course it was from 2006!

I guess there is a question around inspiration vs emulation. The ranger is a very bad Aragorn emulator but has clear Aragorn inspiration (although it's buried pretty deep these days).
