[QUOTE="HaroldTheHobbit, post: 8672575, member: 7031679"] As do I. But since a beginner friendly D&D that generate DMs that has confidence in the material is good for the hobby I wish WotC would be more consistent in what they aim for. Or how it manifests in the newer material. If monster stat blocks and fluff doesn't hold the DMs hand in at least some way the newer gamers will be more dependent on readymade adventures and campaigns - which can be fun and all, but I think most of us older gamers have fond memories from our homegrown campaigns. Those will be harder to make and play if you for example don't know what an Otyugh is supposed to be. Like, if I know that a Gazebo is neutral evil and prey on travellers in one campaign world, it's easier to adapt and fit into my own world, rather than if I'm told it's a non-aligned living building with unknown typical behavior. But nevermind, I will still play and be happy with my version of the game no matter what Wiz do. [/QUOTE]
