Those of you who made the switch to 2024 rules, how's it going? (lemmy.world)

We were early on, but largely haven’t had any real issues. The worst part has been trying to google clarity on rules and getting the 5e rules instead of 2024.

Agreed, I began dming for the first time after being a player of the 2014 5e rules for three or four years. The small discrepancies in character building were confusing and we had to spend way more time on that than anyone wanted to. negotiating grapples has been confusing every time for the players. But finding rules is probably the most annoying part lol I don’t hate it otherwise

They really should have stuck with the conventional naming scheme of like DnD 5.5 or 6e or something.

Finding info on 2024 is a headache.

My guess is that's the point. D&D Beyond, for example, seems to make it purposely confusing. My guess is that this is an attempt to make playing with the 2014 rules that much harder, so that people spend more money.

Hard agree. I’ve found the dnd ChatGPT bot to be somewhat helpful here… but even this thing keeps defaulting me back to the 5e version.
