[QUOTE="ZeshinX, post: 7668374, member: 6793656"] No argument there (about scale). It just tends to be easier to not mention/not notice what is good, being done well, etc. since if things are working/going well/done well, they tend not to be noticed or commented on, since that generally means it's "as it should be". If something is perceived as not working/broken/missing/done poorly....well you can bet people will cry out. I try to keep my comments as balanced as I can, to avoid being the "ultra poop gloomy" type of commenter. I think 5e is a marvelous rule set, but WotC seems a tad uncertain what to do with it. I'd fall into the "not supporting" camp, but not in terms of amount of product they have/haven't released. It's just too early to clobber them over the head with ranting about how we don't have tons of options books, campaign setting tomes, etc. That takes time (years). My interpretation of "lack of support from WotC" is that up until now, with each edition, TSR/WotC has been quite communicative regarding their plans, especially regarding product calendars. Not so much with 5e. Of course, this is entirely subject to the interpretation of the individual reading WotC's media bytes. I find their communications to be...well, to put it in game terms, a whole lotta fluff, not much crunch. I'm also influenced by Paizo and Pathfinder. In my view, THAT'S how you support a game, and WotC seems to be trying to get there via a rather...well, think of an inebriated fly trying to make its way anywhere, and that's kinda the way I see WotC with 5e right now. Patience and time. I suspect that's all it's going to take really. Wouldn't hurt for them to hire a few more designers though. ;) [/QUOTE]
