As I said in my other post, I don't plan on moving to 2024 anytime soon, because I really don't like it: I think it's clunkier than 5e, but at the same time fails at fixing any of the shortcomings of the original game, and I have serious doubts about its balance. I will check on it after the Monster Manual is released, but I'm not holding my breath that WotC's monster design will somehow make it more balanced.
That being said, if my group decides to make the move either to 2024 or to a different system altogether, there's little reason for me to work on 5e content still.
Even if the above doesn't happen, I may work on stuff for personal use to play with my friends, but there's little reason for me to publish it because it will get even less traction that it already does - which is, almost zero. I don't know where people is publishing DnD homebrew stuff nowadays, but all the channels I know of (c/DnDHomebrew on Lemmy, r/UnearthedArcana on Reddit and the Discord of Many Things) are all pretty much dead.
Ahhh, I didn't catch your other post, sorry.
Afaik, most of the home brew stuff that isn't on beyond is more or less being passed around like you said, with more of a player-to-player kind of underground being where you run into the less polished stuff than what you're putting out. And that's the bulk of home brew, that low polish stuff that's the equivalent of a Xeroxed and stapled pamphlet like we would use back in the eighties lol.
I'm in agreement with what I've seen of the new stuff. It seems poorly thought out as more of an excuse to publish something new than to make the game better. I'm far from eager to do anything with it so far, as a DM or player.
I'm kinda surprised your stuff doesn't get traction, it's really well put together, and you've definitely got it balanced out well imo.
Thanks for the compliments!
