May I suggest "Mike Mearls" as the apropriate option for mr. Mearls? :D

Ok. Not really helping me understand what a president of WotC does or what skills they are expected to be good at. But thanks for answering. EDIT: Saw your edit, that helps a little bit more.

Ok. What does that mean? What does a president do when they oversee Magic, video games and D&D? What skills are important? Economics and budgeting? Game design? Programming? Human relations? Corporate politics? Law? A keen sense for fashion?

I don't know what a president of WotC does, so I don't really know who would be a good fit. So, what does a president at WotC do?

I know next to nothing about the US legal system so what does ”with prejudice” mean?

Well you know the saying that a picture is worth more than a thousand posts? Hereby proven! :)

At least the magic-user takes good care to keep her skin clean! Even though she's in a mucky swamp she's as clean as a whistle. But I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and assume that she simply teleported into the swamp after getting dressed in the morning. :)

Of all the things I've said on ENWorld, I never thought me writing "not my cup of tea" would launch a multipost discussion regardarding critiscism. :D

Reading this thread brings to mind a quote from a friend of mine who's a comic book artist. "Sometimes I just draw things that look cool." :)

As for the image. Not my cup of tea, but even so it looks to me like a very competently drawn high level wizard. Power to aspire to, not a first level or even fifth level mage, more lika an arch-mage. I assume it won't be placed without context either in the rules, so what it is supposed to...

Nah, I'd just say "the mage has glasses" and that's it. Or "she has a wooden leg". Not everything has to be explained to the players. Or the GM for that matter.

Each monster has a table of attacks. The GM rolls a die (often d6) to determine which attack the monster uses. The attacks are "automatical hits", so the GM just applies the effect (which may include saves to avoid damage). Also, monsters have varying numbers of turns, from 1 to 3 per round (I...

If they were looking to replace their books I think they would just replace them with the most current offering. After all, that's what's on the shelves. If they weren't looking to replace their books they won't bother replacing their books.

Yeah but will they be confused? I think it is more likely that they will think "hey, they refreshed the look" rather than "I am so confused." I believe that most of the players aren't as invested in the game as we are, and thus this is not such a big thing for them.

I believe most gamers will not think about the ”edition”-definition. New covers will be the most dramatic change for them.

I readily confess that I find PBtA games difficult to play. I'm so much rooted in the traditional BRP-paradigm that I sort of collide with the PBtA philosophy. So if I wanted to try a game powered by this engine, what is recommended? Monster of the Week? Blades in the Dark? Kult? Preferably...

I think you are extrapolating an awful lot from what I and maybe others have been saying in this thread. For me it comes down to me as a player allowing the GM to set the framework of their game, or in other words set limitations for their game, so that they can run the game to the best of...

I must commend your for trying to weave BG3 into the discussion! :) Unfortunately I haven't played the game so I can't assist. :D

Not at all. Next week we're playing the last session of our Alien game, and after that we'll sit down with some coffee or tea (for me) and talk about what we want to play next. One GM will get the go-ahead depending on how we feel about the ideas and how much or little GM:ing they've done (I've...
