The clarity in 1e was: the "Magic User" has features that other classes lack.It was pretty clear to Gygax' audience.
It's still on topic in a 'why we can't have nice things' kind of way.I realize topic drift happens in threads, but I never thought I'd miss the "Why aren't pisonics in D&D" discussion so much.
There are official sources that mention Dark Sun by name, tho perhaps some 5e designers regret that. Heh.Wait, but Dark Sun doesn't exist. the finger on that monkey's paw went down and everything.
They do seem to be set on excising all things good and true that's not the Bard.Maybe, 2024 will also delete all references to Eberron?
I don't think Wizards will retire it. It's theirs and it's popular.Maybe, 2024 will also delete all references to Eberron?
Currently, 5e seems to be segueing away from this setting, including its founder retiring from it.
I hope so.I don't think Wizards will retire it. It's theirs and it's popular.
Keith Baker has already done so much, and I don't blame him for pivoting to focus on new stuff that allows him to stretch his design and writing. Stuff that he owns (and I hope he can get paid for).
First of all, I called your argument disingenious because your tone was fairly accusatory towards @Clint_L for no reason, and made it seem like his dislike of psionics (and desire to have his D&D without it) was something unusual. This is disingenious when removing things from the game has been a thing since a second DM other than Gary Gygax ran the game.I find your counter-argument disingenuous and more than fairly misguided too so let's talk about that. I think that there is a difference of comparison between the problematic aspects of the game (e.g., racism, monsters, prostitution tables, comliness scores, etc.) and the presence of science-fiction elements or psionics in the game, which are (generally) not problematic in the same degree or reasons. Moreover there is also a difference of comparsion between the game mechanics that changed and whether science-fiction elements or psionics are in the game. A more apt comparison would be people who don't want monks in their core D&D and talk about much they hate them because it doesn't mix with their sense of "European fantasy."
So maybe before you declare my genuine argument to be disingenuous or that I'm acting in a misguided way, that you would check your own argument. Thanks.
