[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9632408, member: 6716779"] Here's the scenario. For whatever reason perhaps via Genie you are put in charge of D&D 2024 release. Bit of roleplaying here there's 3 different criteria I'm asking you to design. You don't need to design actually you're the boss order the peons about. Assume you have a decent budget and you have to produce 1-3 core books. That's all you get though. Pagecount can go as high as 5.5. No you can't rerelease your favorite editions entire line or a 10000 page book New product Otherwise go for it. 3 different products. No wrong answers interested in your thoughts. 1. This edition is make the most money. What do you do? 2. You can command the peons to make your personal love letter to D&D. It only has to appeal to you. 3. You can rebuild the game from the ground up doing whatever you like commercial viability be dammed. New classes orange, apples and toast go for it. My answers. 1. Some form of revised 5E. May be different than 2024 we got but it's along those lines I suppose. Baldurs Gate Edition possibly. 2. Probably a mix of 5.5 and OSR elements. Hit points back to 3.0 or 3.5 levels. Gritty. Probably use feats. Moderate complexity similar to 2014 5E probably. Exhaustion levels instead of energy drain, spells indirectly nerfed (change the meta) 3. Complete rebuild from the ground up. Something like greater magic resistance would be used. Archetypes probably cut, levels might be cut to 10, spells above 5th level may go bye bye. Very simple aimed at newer DMs. Alot of power creep from 5.5 is gone Probably archetypes removed, power levels dialed down. Phb would not be 330 pages. Classes and races as 2024 and 2014 phb.
