D&D (2024) What Should 1D&D Resurrect? +

[Clint_L]

Greyhawk, building off of the Ghosts of Saltmarsh tineline reboot.

THIS! If we don't get a 50th anniversary Greyhawk setting, I am going to be seriously annoyed. And I want the Blackmoor adventure book to go with it! And I want them done up with forewords that explain their significance and give Arneson and Gygax their full due, as well as the other folks from those early campaigns. And I want the merchandise to go with them - a line of miniatures, a giant map, a coffee mug, all the bells and whistles. I want to be able to buy Greyhawk underoos.

Birthright!
Weapon proficiencies.
Magic Item Encyclopedias with 10,000 of em plus the magic fountain table!!

Bringing back full campaign settings, and then customizing the fool out of them so that classes, skills, and magic reflect what make them unique (like "Tales of the Lance" boxed set had Mariner and Tinker, and the Birthright setting had "Magician" and "Guilder"). Don't just simply bolt on subclasses. Make it unique!

... you're making incompatible requests back to back?

My requests:

• Warlord.
• some Int-based mostly-non-caster class (Factotum or perhaps ... Warlord?)
• Psionic classes (if they're already bringing back Primal, complete the set): Monk, Psion, maybe others.
• mass combat rules, if it's possible to do them right (I have doubts).
• more Defender-style tactical combat features.
• more effects that use Hit Dice.

I oppose a lot of the other requests in this thread as being too fiddly. However, if they also create an explicit keyword for "fiddly optional rules not to be used in standardized play", then yes make a splatbook for that and obviously the name would be "Advanced D&D".

The binder class, Specialty Priest, the psionjc classes and races from 3e/3.5e, a strong NOVEL LINE.

Yes a proper Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting book that is full sized a and detailed,not an snack like the SCAG or Spelljammer Slipcase.

The fourth class of each power source

Warlords, Shamans, Swordmages, and Avengers.

And bloodied.

For my part: prestige classes.

given that subclass levels seem to be getting unified, i could see any-class subclasses being used to replicate prestige classes.

anyway, other then what other people have said, actual crafting rules and feats/ASIs being separate.

Skills points was on my wishlist for 4e going to 5e to bring back, back when I was convinced it would be a step forward in design instead of backflip down a concrete stairwell.
