i spend a lot of time discussing
0:02
problems with the 2024 D and D rules so
0:05
I'm going to spend the rest of this
0:07
threeinut video saying nothing but nice
0:09
things about the 2024 rules because
0:12
honestly as much as I complain as much
0:14
as I poke holes in it I do actually like
0:16
a lot of things in the new system so
0:19
let's start with the players handbook um
0:21
the new version of the book is much
0:23
better organized than any previous
0:25
edition of the game it's much more
0:27
approachable for new players it presents
0:29
information in a much more digestible
0:31
way and small things like the rules
0:33
glossery at the end of the book make
0:36
learning and understanding and
0:38
referencing the mechanics so much easier
0:40
than it ever has been so for players
0:42
first learning to play the game this is
0:44
going to be a huge improvement and
0:47
improvements to the classes as well have
0:50
made things a lot better not everything
0:52
is perfect there's still room for
0:54
improvement there but each class feels
0:58
distinct there are things to enjoy about
1:00
them uh there is no longer a clear like
1:04
look at this one class it is the
1:06
punching bag it's not good like that is
1:08
no longer a thing in the 2024 rules as
1:11
much people like to uh poo poo the
1:13
ranger but overall characters are just
1:16
better and more interesting and there's
1:19
more that you can do um I love the new
1:21
background system honestly I love origin
1:24
feats i love the way ability scores are
1:28
tied to your background instead of to
1:30
your species i think that's so much more
1:32
interesting because it gives them so
1:34
much more design space for species
1:37
instead of just this species is
1:40
interesting because they have good
1:41
ability score increases it's now like
1:43
what cool things does this species get
1:45
to do that other species can't i love
1:48
that epic boons are a core part of the
1:50
game now instead of an option rule rule
1:52
hidden in the dungeon master's guide
1:54
like there's something to look forward
1:56
to at really really high levels so you
1:58
can keep customizing your characters and
2:01
even once you're at 20th level if you
2:03
keep playing with those characters there
2:05
is more to improve your character with
2:08
than just piling magic items onto them
2:10
so it gives parties a reason to keep
2:13
playing those characters long term even
2:15
if you do somehow reach 20th level not
2:18
that most of us get that far often i've
2:21
only done it twice uh the new dungeon
2:25
masters guide hugely more accessible
2:27
than previous versions the advice in it
2:29
is a lot better um the things that they
2:33
added to the Dungeon Masters Guide
2:36
compared to previous versions are
2:38
absolutely fantastic for people new to
2:40
the hobby new to tabletop RPGs and
2:42
especially new to Dungeons and Dragons
2:44
the things that they added are really
2:46
good and then finally the monster manual
