D&D (2024) Predictions for Playtest packet 7's arrival

you said that they are adding art, you didn't say what kind/quality of art.

Bro you gotta separate out what you’re responding to somehow if it’s one phrase out of a whole post. That you were talking about the art was not indicated in any way.

Fisking is generally considered hostile & antagonistic in the way it distorts a comment being responded to by stripping context& flow.

Additionally they have a much larger team now than in 2012

Do they? I'd thought that the team had steadily been reduced over the years. Did it grow back up?

and they have a larger internal playtest group too.

That I'm SURE you're right about.

So they have less to do and more resources to do it with.

This is almost certainly true too.

Being specific about the small part of a post you’re replying to isn’t fisking, my guy.

Isn't it kind of the opposite? Reverse-fisking?

The real problem with the post under discussion was simply that it lacked context for its comment.

Oh, no, they've been hiring like crazy since about 2019. The D&D design team is way bigger than it was during the Next period after all the heads rolled for 4E.

Still too early for Pacific time. Soon, probably, as business hours start.

Grr… You’re right, but I’m still antsy!
