D&D General Dmg previews up

[Demetrios1453]

I am on board now with the DMG not having variant rules. However, I still think it would be interesting if WotC published a UA book of variant rules. I would buy that.

There's inevitably going to be one or more Tasha's/Xanathar's style books in the relatively near future, simply because there's a lot of 2014 stuff to update to 2024. Those books mixed player options with DM's stuff, so we'll surely see something similar in the future.

never needed it my games (we don't have magic shops), but everyone plays differently.

But what about crafting rules to help bring down that gold glut?

And I'm assuming the bastion system will do so as well...

But then what do your players do with their gold?

That's not a rhetorical question. What use does gold have in the 2014 rules as written? I've never seen any, at least not past very low levels.

That is one thing I really appreciate about the new PHB: adventuring gear can be very useful and worth investing in. However, most of it quite cheap to the loads of gold players end up with. Hopefully bastions will serve as a proper gold sink, or at least that the question of "what is money good for" is addressed in some capacity in the DMG

My Wizard telling my Bastion to plant more wheat before we assault the goblins.

Well, to be fair, if your character is a wizard, you can probably do this.

Leveling. We require research and training (a downtime activity) to gain a level. This cost money. They also use it to gather information, bribe, living expenses, maintain equipment, etc.

Right now, if my players need something crafted they pay for it (except magic items which can't easily be crafted in our games). Never needed rules for that myself, but I understand others like the idea and would find them useful.

 

[dave2008]

yes it was, but apparently you missed that when you replied

This is how the whole thing started


one exchange later

this is where you decided to step in by pointing out viewer numbers

and my only point was after 18 hrs 48K people have watched the video.

Yes, but I would really prefer a UA book of just DM options and rule variants, separate from PC builds (classes, subclasses, etc.)

ok, but that still is missing the point of the discussion you replied to and does not contradict what I wrote either, so not sure why you felt the need to point this out
