I have lurked and read a lot of this thread. And going back to the initial rant:
If people trying to keep the ground connected to its roots is exhausting, I think it’s not less exhausting listening to tirades about how the game sucks and must change.
If someone wants radical change, why not...
We did when we were kids.
Waldo says yeah, “let’s play good guys” then proceeds to steal from the party or do violence to peasants.
Or, the DM and I disagreed about LG paladins and prostitutes.
As grown ups people are more relaxed, understand cultural issues more broadly. Just had not...
sometimes people have a tough history in gaming or other areas and struggle to not map that experience into the wider world.
You see this clearly where someone says an uncommon thing is common or they overgeneralize.
I find it best not to contradict their stated experience but to let people...

I think one thing that was ponderous were some tacked on things like ability improvement for...
this is a holy sword…it can only be wielded by the pure of heart for full effect.
This is an evil artifact. If good people use it or touch it curses them while evil people soak up the power.
Without alignment how do we activate these tropes? Just let the dm decide and pass judgment on our...
Yep. And we tone it down when my kids are present but not the wives.
I have seen some weird stuff at cons. For myself though I would excuse myself and leave the game unless the ticket was more than 5 bucks.
Life is too short for weird crap. Who needs a raps scene in game? For example…if...
I have enjoyed 5e a lot. I enjoyed earlier editions a lot. There are a few changes I would advocate and enjoy moving forward.
Bonus actions are now almost instinctive. We know when we can use them. Same with reactions. But there has to be a cleaner way to incorporate both in a more unified...
