    Will there ever be new editions of the major systems?

    I think you think stranger things is much bigger than it is.

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    yep. Subclasses even at level 3 tie to much into your level 1 decisions. Both mechanical and narrative. Like pre choosing your subclass helps on both but if your doing that then why not just pick at level 1.

    They are just weird. They get nothing special. For Paladin they fine tuned all the mechanics to work with him attacking while still leaving open the option of casting normal spells while layering on actual good class abilities. Ranger they gave half casting and basically nothing else. I...

    My Rankings A Tier - The best of the best at many different things, very minimal major weaknesses Sorcerer, Druid, Cleric - all very efficient, have answers for most scenarios, and starts and finishes strong in the level 1-12 range. B Tier - very good in multiple areas, generally less...

    D&D 5E (2024) Class Tier List 1 Year Later.

    I love Barbarians and find them incredibly fun to play but they lack quite a bit of versatility. I will add that due to thrown weapons working with reckless attack rage damage increase and beserker/zealot damage increases that they actually can throw javelins fairly far without disadvantage and...

    I think I also disagree on the Rogues. They are the worst at combat but it's not like their damage output is horrendous, it's just not typically as good as the other martials without major hoops that might not work. But they are the undisputed skill kings due to reliable talent + expertise...

    I think Bard being S is my biggest disagreement. He has extremely low AC, unless you use magic initiate to fix it with shield spell or valor subclass. Bardic inspiration isn't retroactive (as in you cannot grant it out of combat after a roll is called for) and is very limited in tier 1 (which...

    IMO it’s the sorcerer not the chromatic orb ;) It’s be like saying haste is amazing because twin spell 2014 version.

    D&D 5E (2024) A critical analysis of 2024's revised classes

    My critical analysis of the OP is that he nitpicks about too many things that just don’t really matter. I’m fairly certain I could find a million things like that from 2014 as well, but literally no one focused on such things. We just kind of accepted them as gameplay contrivances and moved...

    What Does "Simulation" Mean To You? [+]

    I don’t know the at you are wrong but I’d just add that a setting following it’s own internal logic is more realistic than a setting that doesn’t have an internal logic to follow ;)

    What Does "Simulation" Mean To You? [+]

    Simulation is a term for techniques in a Ttrpg which generate fictional content with limited consideration for gameplay or narrative (and other) implications and that primarily focuses on treating the generation of fictional content as as if it were independent of such real-world influences...

    The control spells are generally why casters are OP.
