the video is 2 months old, so not based on any new data

sure they can, investors do not review and approve every management decision. If management disappoints then investors will sell their shares or maybe manage to remove management, but the latter is an uphill battle already

Investors do not tell WotC what the D&D rules should be, what adventures to create or what the release schedule should be, all of that is up to WotC management

WotC has an obvious interest to paint it in the best light possible however, so a bit of skepticism is warranted. The problem is that there is little data to go on

After watching the video, I agree that 2024 had financial motives behind it and was not born from a desire to fix design issues in 5e. The playtest lacked direction and was executed badly (the individual pieces were reviewed independently, exclusively focused on player options instead of...

he is definitely not on the conservative end, he probably would be considered progressive by many (in some videos he says a bit about himself / his job)

I don’t think the fine print said anything about ‘you will get two early releases and then nothing for over 6 months right up until the final release’

you did see the smiley I assume…

I don’t think SF says, and I do not have the adventure, maybe someone else can help out here… EDIT: as an example he mentions the Ghast Gravecaller and Flaming Skeleton, both from the adventure The Will of Orcus. He also mentions that they do not even tell you the CR, so you cannot easily...

welcome to the club I guess ;)

How do these gofundmes work, the goal keeps going up whenever it has been reached it seems? At a minimum there was a 9k goal and a 16k one, while now it is 28k. I thought it would be a fixed goal like a KS (maybe without serving as a threshold for funds to be transferred) Not saying GR is doing...

I am sure they would prefer people to switch. Ultimately I brought this up because the OP starts with and that is not entirely accurate, so I pointed out that some stat blocks only exist in the 2024 books I figured some people might find this useful, did not expect the WotC fanclub to jump to...

I assume they also want people who stay with 2014 to buy new adventures. If not, they can simply say on the sleeve that this is for the 2024 books, but they chose not to I don’t really care if it is for 2024, but then say so on the sleeve

given that the book never says that you need the 2024 version and the whole point of compatibility was that you can use adventures with both versions, I felt this was worth pointing out. Would not have hurt them to include that handful of stat blocks (or suggestions for 2014 alternatives) if...

SlyFlourish in his review said that while the book never says which core to use, some of the stat blocks are only in the 2024 MM, not the 2014 one
