Nah. Nothing says "professional" quite like

As a software developer, we were always incredibly careful to not share early design ideas too soon or with too broad an audience. It's what we always referred to as "whiteboard goals", things that come up in discussion that would be kind of cool and, at first glance, seem reasonable. Because...

Sometimes you have goals early on in a project that just don't pan out. A truly modular system would have been incredibly complex to implement and balance and something better left to 3PP. But I would disagree that 5E is not modular at all even if it's not modular enough for some people...

I think 5E is more flexible than any other WotC version of D&D, it's just not "flexible enough" for some people. A lot of things are optional, there are optional rules, there's 3PP if the official rules don't go far enough. That, and the whole modular thing was from a single interview by Mearls...

My point is that we aren't going out killing for the sole purpose of getting loot, which was very common in the early days of D&D. A lot of old school play was "Here's a map to a dungeon with lots of treasure. Oh, by the way there's a bunch of orcs there so you'll have to clear them out."

Nah. We need to follow car companies lead. Add some pizzazz and advertise the colors. Inspired by real world car color names: PHB: Sassy Grass DMG: Thundernight Metallic MM: Red 'n' Dead Campaigns: Tangerine Scream Splat books: Vanilla Shake 'em Up Of course all drawings should also be...

Then we'd just have people arguing that the colors they chose were terrible and worst color ever! :)

So people are all up in arms about judging a book by it's cover? :unsure:

Whatever. I was just pointing out that murder hobos plundering dungeons populated by creatures that were doing no harm for the sole purpose of taking their stuff is very old school and, in my experience, pretty rare in the past couple of decades.

We don't break in to other creature's abodes for the purpose of looting their stuff, no. Treasure is virtually never primary motivation, it's defense or preventing further attacks. There's a difference between armed robbery and being a soldier trying to protect others.

There is no way we're going to have 3 versions of D&D. Theoretically they could have something completely different like a Star Wars RPG, just not sure there's enough demand for even that.

Maybe that's how you play D&D. It's not how I've played it for a long, long time.

Could be, I just meant that the artist did not say who they were. For that matter, I have no idea who Vajra is since I'm not a big FR grognard. :)

Maybe they're more than 150 feet away and it's just a really big beholder? :oops:

Based on what the artist said, I think Boo is also in the picture. No answer on who the caster is. Which makes sense, Boo always goes for the eye!

According to the artist, the PC in the tentacle can be anyone including your PC. :eek:
