Really? I haven't heard about any separate high level books being made by WotC. Can you link the articles on those?

The larger niches like entire settings that WotC aren't touching, like Dark Sun. Very small niches aren't going to be what those 3pp folks are going to go after. They might make money on Dark Sun products, Birthright products, psionics, etc. since a lot of folks liked those settings, but...

There's no fiat. It's is unknown vs. known. Invulnerable vs. vulnerable. Resting vs. disrupted resting. And so on. let's say the town was raided and the party has made camp nearby town for whatever reason. A patrol coming up up on a hut cannot see inside of it, so they don't know if it...

What suppositions? Um, no. Small companies without the resources can't afford to go after only 10% of the market. They will go after the other 90%. A large company with the resources to put out an anthology book that contains 1 adventure for that 10% and 5 or 6 for the other 90% will reach...

In the context of this thread, it's very telling that they felt they needed to make that change for 5.5e. Clearly it was an issue to enough people for them to change things.

Neither is upsetting 10% of your players over a minor inclusion that won't affect things very much. Giving pretty much nothing to that 10% is also rarely a good strategy.

I think it's really a group thing. If the group is good with strategy/tactics, they will put these spells to really good use. If the group isn't, then they will probably see little use. Out of those groups who use the spells well, there will be a portion who find it disruptive like you and...

Then one adventure, which would be like 1/6th or something. And if you are generally not interested in anthologies, then you don't really count for this. You aren't their target with anthologies anyway. For those who like anthologies, getting 5 adventures they can use instead of 6 isn't going...

There is no charity, because A) 10% of people want high level, and B) WotC loses no money by putting one in an anthology book of adventures. This is false as 3pp don't have the resources to put out an anthology book the way WotC does and make the kind of sales WotC does. It would be a loss for...

My response that you quoted takes care of that. There's no charity involved with what I said. 5e sales very strongly indicate that the vast majority of 5e D&D players don't hate everything WotC puts out.

If some of the adventure paths started at low level and went to high level, DMs would learn how to run high level games and players would learn how to play high level PCs. You'd probably see an increase in the number of high level games played.

Unlike 3rd party folks who are very dependent on their sources of income and generally don't have the resources for an anthology book, WotC could easily make a high level adventure or two in each of the anthology books they put out. Folks needing low and mid stuff would still eat it up, and the...

I divide it by spell levels. For me 1st-3rd(so 1st to 6th level PCs) are low level. 4th-6th(7th-12th PCs) are mid. And 7th-9th(13th-20th PCs) are high level.

What more do you need to know?

Please! It's Dee Z. Nuts or bust.

I very rarely do the internal monologue thing. When I do it, it's because what is going on inside my head is very different than what I am showing and saying outside of it. DM: The Nighthawk envoy says that you won't need to worry as you go through the hills. They've spoken to any bandits...

I've been saying that for years. Not necessarily that the rules were written intentionally badly, but in my opinion there are too many rules in the game that are incomplete and/or vague for it to be accidental. The designers who made 5e also were involved with 3e and 4e, so we know that they...

By the end of the episode we were seeing signs of change in his character. I think it's going to be a somewhat gradual shift into being a team player and caring about people.
