Marketing must have hit the right place as well. When I saw Facebook friends that haven't gamed since the 90's excited I wondered how they even knew a new edition was coming out.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material. Instead you roll it out piecemeal as PCs bite the dust. “I really want to play a saurian warlock…sure, I’ll take a drink of that mystery potion.” Someone probably thought of this before.
I'm not sure they'll get me, but I can appreciate what they've done with the system. It's a huge improvement over the last two versions.
ReplyDeleteI would imagine so. The game has a lot of roots in AD&D2E from my reading so far.
