Okay now that that is established, I want to go back to my question, Why didn't Arneson get a credit in the supplement Eldritch Wizardry if his notes were used in that book? I mean his name isn't even in the thank you part. Because that seems to be something that would irk anyone and it makes...

So looking at page 10-12 with regards to the demon types and appearance, they seem to be very heavily used for eldritch wizardry, for example the type 1 demon is described as vulture, and the type 2 demon descrubed as toad. Even the separation of the succubus entry from type V is the same and...

And the organizations aren't bad either, including patronage benefits and agenda that are very useful both in and out of a deck of many things campaigns. Like its really cool that you could actually become a therianthrope by just joining the moonstalkers guild. And also, its just awesome that...

It took me a while to figure out where you found that item since I didn't find it in the item list, but its actually an entry under the aarakocra. The singular rod of law would certainly be an interesting contrast to the infinitely proliferating deck that produces more and more chaos.

If anyone ever considered doing a cardcaptor sakura style capturing of cards, and having each card of the deck of many things have its own magical effect outside of a deck, You can now do that thanks to chapter 2 key as its lists spell like effects for each card for the original 22 cards, and...

Also Asteria is interesting as a Paladin class that embraces the chaos of changing destinies, not something you could have easily created in previous editions of D&D

There is so much good stuff in there, that inspiration deck is a good way to make the mechanic player facing rather than something the DM has to remember to give when giving inspiration. I like the journey card rules for long journeys, since it encourages collaborative random encounters which...

I mean, there are plenty of ways to stop the abuse just using the rules as is. Standing high jumps are half of your 3+your strength modifier rounded down, which means 7 strength or lower can't do a standing jump, If the character has a +1 modifier or higher, than a standing high jump is at least...

Okay so there are restrictions on the types of stories you can tell with this game. Others were trying to convince me otherwise, but what you are saying is that certain story types are required in order to properly run the game.

So it's possible to run a game without obstacles or antagonists then? Edit: If that's right, that's pretty good, since it means various storytelling methods that have no conflict can be used, such as 起承转结 Qie cheng zhuan jie.

Yes but isn't a dungeon a punitive place where criminals are sent. And not all all cultures view dragons as antagonistic.

Do you think its possible to play D&D without going on an adventure, or is adventurism something that must be present?

I agree. Though the friction between what is useful for a game, and what creates a believable world can make it hard to feature folklore in the form of spells.

Exactly, or you could go for the more skirmisher type, and take the traveler's blade at level 3 to permanently extend your reach by 5ft, which fixes the opportunity attack problem, and in case your opponents are larger or have more reach, you can spend ki to extend your reach even more, by up to...

What do you all think of the living weapon monk in the book, not only is it pretty flavorful, but it does alot of damage and makes skirmishing even easier than it was before.

Seems like a good book based on the previews. The pictures seem excellent.
