D&D (2024) Why aren't you using 5e 2024?

Nothing incendiary or inspirational. My group just has other games we like better.

The games I am in just haven't made the change yet. The DM for the two I play in just got the new PHB and DMG and has not digested them yet. One of those games is science fantasy. We use Dark Matter for that, which is 2014-compatible. I don't know if that one will ever change. I imagine the other one will.

As for the one I run, the current adventure will be ending soon. After that, it's off to 2024 we go!

The are in the process of "updating" Dark Matter to 5.5 as we speak.

Because the players of my current group are old players (red box) or novice, so we preferred to start with a consolidated set of rules. Maybe after Italian localization we will shift to 2024 rules (some of my players are not good with English), but it will depend on the quality of the translations. After WoC took charge with the translations, they are terrible.

Since the Level Up Dragonborn are draconic creations of the dragons themselves, having Fey Dragonborn being created by Fey Dragons is certainly a possibility.

Maybe not.

Monstrous Menagerie II Has Gorgeous Art! — Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition (A5E)

With Monstrous Menagerie II: Hordes & Heroes mere days away from launch, here’s a sneak peek at some of the wonderful art in the book!

The 5th picture down is a picture of what a Fey Dragon looks like in the new Monstrous Menagerie 2. Unless a Fey Dragon has petal-like folds surrounding its' mouth, it looks like a plant/dragon hybrid. So much for looking a Faerie Dragon from D&D.

It had me sold when I realized I could play Howard the Duck as my PC.

One of my players wanted Darkwing Duck. We did random character creation, just so they could learn the system before they made their own characters. Also, I figured that the high lethality of the system wouldn't be so bad with random characters.
The guy who wanted the duck ended up rolling it randomly (a 1 in 12 chance). And everyone still has (and is enjoying) their first randomized characters - coming to the end of the campaign in the boxed set and no real permanent deaths.

Same reason I don't use D&D 2014; D&D isn't as good as Dungeon Crawl Classics.

No monster manual yet. Ongoing campaign will take awhile. May just as wait and get books with errata.

 

[Chaltab]

Honestly I'm not using it in large part because I'm running ongoing 5e14 games and don't want to make everyone rebuild mid campaign.

Just not a massive fan of games in the D&D sphere, and even within it, there are ones I like better.
