NewbieDMBut is there anything in 2024 dnd that makes dMing easier, more fun, or a must-do! What is the selling point for DMs to switch? Tougher monsters might be one. What else? Why should a DM take the lead and switch for their group?
Alphastream@newbiedm At a 10k-foot level, it’s rewritten to be cleaner and easier to run. It’s a huge improvement for new DMs. For old hats, it will be a bit of a transition as we absorb the new glossary approach. It’s the player book, so not much for us. The subclasses all got candy to please players.
PuzzledByMuch@Alphastream @newbiedm Is there anything in the new book that encourages the new player to think about their character beyond the pure mechanical choices?
With the stripping of ideals, bonds, flaws etc is there a nice juicy section on interesting flaws, as an example?

@PuzzledByMuch @Alphastream oh, they removed that? Wow.
@newbiedm @Alphastream My hope is that we'll all just be home-brewing our backgrounds...as otherwise they'll be a lot of farmer martials.
