OK, late to the party, but I just watched the video. If Vecna wants to become the sole god and remake the multiverse to his liking, wouldn't every other god or god-like being go after him with all of their combined and coordinated power in order to stop him?
Or to put it another way, why would...
Like I said in another thread, consumers have very high expectations for games like this now. The likelihood of it being as successful as BG3 is low.
Furthermore, with all of these developers, the game may be built "by committee". Having too many cooks often spoils the broth.
Also, another thing to consider, is that some people might take personal offense if they see their preferred choice get down voted. If you decide to implement this poll type, I would make sure that an individual's choices aren't public.
Yes, I've seen this on other forums where a "senior" member starts a confrontation with a newbie, the newbie responds in kind, and gets banned or blocked despite the fact that it was the senior member who initiated the confrontation.
We typically hand wave the issue with a bag of holding, as long as it doesn't get ridiculous. So, if hauling out a quantity of gold (or an over sized item) would break of not fit into a BoH, the players have to specify how they'll get the treasure out of the dungeon.
Yes they sell, but it seems like people have been dissatisfied with recent offerings.
Scrapping the VTT would allow them to redirect funds for hiring more creatives.
IMHO, after the "gee whiz" factor dies down, people will move to other VTT's that offer more flexibility, and cost less.
I would scrap the VTT and focus on WoTC earning a reputation for high quality adventures. By quality, I mean in depth cohesive and engaging adventures that don't force the DM to spend time filling in the gaps.
I attack the cleric. There is nothing worse than having to deal with a PC a second time that you just took down because the cleric brough them back up. The clerics healing essentially nullifies the attack the BBEG just made.
If the BBEG is in such dire straights that one more attack will take...
I let my players choose their gods, and I use their choices as the "Pantheon".
They can choose anything they want from any tradition, or make up their own. It doesn't matter to me, as long as it's meaningful to them.
