Do you believe that diversity and representation should extend to villanous roles?

I'm good with yards.

Is there any way to incorporate an imprisoned blue dragon, hooked up to a fantasy version of a car battery?

Fighting inside of a giant version of one of those static globes

Fair enough. Side note: If you like using hexes, chemistry notebooks and chemistry note cards work pretty well for ttrpgs. Edit: The embedded link was not working. BENZNOTE Index Cards, for Organic and Bio Chemistry, 4" x 6", Hexagonal Graph Rule, Green Lined, 100 Index Cards...

At first, maybe. But you could eyeball it most of the time. To me, it's the same amount of effort as picking up a piece with my hand and counting spaces. In all fairness, I have a lot of experience eyeballing distance due to sports, rifle marksmanship, and doing various minor carpentry tasks...

I'm not sure of these count as a confessions, but... I typically hate anime. There are a few (Elfen Lied, Battleship Yamato, etc) that I have enjoyed over the years. However, despite honestly trying to be more open-minded about it so as to have more common ground with some of my friends, a...

🤷‍♂️ 1 inch = 1 square/hex Avoids the issues of needing to fit the world into perfect squares or having partial hexes inside of buildings. The special "official" WoTC rulers wouldn't even need to have numbers. You just have a strip of plastic with unmarked lines or notches on it. If you're...

For me: MM is #1 by far. PHB is #2 DMG is #3 As I've said elsewhere, I think the artwork on the DMG is good artwork. It simply doesn't say "DMG" to me.

Just don't use a grid at all and measure movement with a ruler. That way maps don't need to have all buildings and features be square. From the WoTC side of things, they could then also sell "official" plastic rulers. If people are willing to pay extra for "official" dice and character sheets...

Can a virtual tabletop and online play be categorized as a video game?

Without re-writing the game 🤔 Make proficiency dice the default (instead of flat bonuses). The other changes I would want to make would require more work than the OP wants.

So, the yard then. Math reason: 1s = 1y is simpler than 1s = 5ft. The main drawback to this is losing the perfect square shape of contemporary D&D minis, as things like horses become a base of 1x2 instead of a base of 2×2.

Fair enough. Different people like different things. For me, gaining a better method of measurement echoes into improving other aspects of play, while also making it easier to use real-world floorplans as maps. Additionally, if WoTC is looking to push D&D into a worldwide brand, a method of...

Maps would more accurately describe sizes of buildings, doors, and etc. From a math perspective and learning the game, 1s = 1m is simpler than 1s = 5ft.

I wish the 2024 would switch from 5ft-Squares to the 1yard/1meter-square. I'm aware that 1 yard ≠ 1 meter, but it's close enough that I would be okay with either being used.

Pretty cool. So far, this is my favorite of the non-special covers (and I might take this one over the DMG special cover).

I think there's a middle ground between a PC being important and having a stable of characters. Hirelings, henchmen, squires, magical steeds, familiars, and etc can be part of a retinue without being the primary focus. FWIW, I started with "modern" games. D&D 3rd Edition was my first exposure...

That's a good point. Still, Vaults could be Dwarven communities which chose to isolate themselves. They could be one part Fallout and one part Dragon Age Dwarves.
