D&D 5E (2024) Guess the next 3rd party D&D Beyond book.

Like 5.5, Level Up also has the claim of backwards compatibility to 5e since both use 5e's chassis. That said, EN Publishing is trying to design its' own version of D&D Beyond. Level Up Gateway.

Level Up Gateway: Advanced 5E (a5e) Character Builder

Character Builder/Character Sheet and GM Toolkit for Level Up: the standalone 'advanced 5E' (a5e) backwards compatible tabletop RPG! Build characters and manage campaigns with access to a hoard of free, official content. Build and run characters, monsters, and NPCs quickly and easily with a...

Yeah. 5.24 is compatible to 5.14 and LU are compatible. So LU and 5.24 are two different childs. Which means that usually they are less compatible with each other than towards their parent.

Same goes for ToV.

 

[Morrus]

Yes... more or less.

No, just yes. Unless we’re inventing new meanings for the word “compatible” up to and including “not compatible”.

Sometimes I wonder if that word has just become one of those meaningless terms like “official”. Or “literally” which literally means the opposite of literally. Everybody has a different definition of what it means, so we should really just stop using it. For the record, I think it means “compatible”. Which it is.

Ok. So yes. I was not very careful with my wording.

But it has enough changes so integration is not without some adaptions.
Like weapons not mentioned in the rule book miss mastery traits.

I guess the monstrous menange does not need a lot of adaptions (one monster references the doom condition... so you need to look it up at least).

What the title says. What do you guess we’ll see next?

It seems that the answer was Roll & Play Press's One-Shot Wonders.

At the very least, it's a great sourcebook for expanding the Witchlight carnival and the unnamed one in Van Richten's. (Is it unnamed? That seems weird. What do people call it when it rolls into town? Just "the carnival?")

I don't wager there are that many other carnivals in Ravenloft that it needs to distinguish itself from them.

That’s not incompatible though. You can conceivably design a weapon with no mastery traits. Or with new mastery traits. It’s just a bunch of different weapons. They’re still compatible. You can still use them as-is.

If ‘compatible’ just means ‘a photocopy of’, it’s kinda lost any meaning. Things can be different and still compatible—that’s basically how sourcebooks work. A bunch of new different stuff which is compatible with the existing stuff. Otherwise Tasha isn’t compatible with the 2014 rules, because it has some different stuff in it.

Fool's Gold: Into the Bellowing Wilds seems likely.

$2,479,888 KS plus a long-running YouTube semi-animated retelling series. Already have a Hero Forge ancestry/species too.

Conpatible, yes, but not up to date with 5.24

If ‘compatible’ just means ‘a photocopy of’, it’s kinda lost any meaning.

No. I don't mean that and I already told you that my choice of words was sloppy.
That was how many people here used it in the 5.24 transitioning and I was arguing as you do now. So yes. My bad.

Yeah. See above. I already agreed with you. Again, sloppy from my side.

LevelUP is more easily integrated into 5.14 as this was the engine it was built upon. But since 5.24 is compatible with 5.14 LevelUP is compatible with 5.24 too. But they are both different upgrades from 5.14 with different changes. So I need to look into my books again how easily LevelUP is usable with 5.24. I admit, that I have not used them in my 5e games because I had not have the opportunity. Which reminds me to maybe look into my menangery more. So thanks for the reminder.

Edit: And I understand why you are annoyed by my choice of words, because compatibility is one of the selling points of LevelUP.

Edit2: and maybe LevelUP would fit for dndbeyond if you had interest in it.
I would change my initial post to reflect that erring on my part. But I leave it there so the thread makes sense.

I just bought one of the one-shot adventure books that came out today - they were a nice surprise to see pop up, and are the kind of thing I can really use for impromptu games.

Interesting! No video yet.
