TheSword
Legend
Finding giants or dragons boring; not liking the cardboard to paper ratio; your players being unable to handle anything other than combat; or being unable to handle complexity, not liking adventures that are 12 or 13 pages long (but thinking adventures that are 14 or 15 pages long are brilliant). All the while taking other peoples reviews removing the many positive points and concentrating on the bad is not objectively pointing out the faults. They’re actually reflections of your groups biases and not objective at all. Crikey you freely admit to not having read most of the books on the list!I've seen more heart and soul in a staple-bound zine than in a $100 boxed set.
When stuff isn't good, we should be able to point out the faults of those products.
So, to come around to answering the question: Yes, it's me. I'm not pleased with middling content.
Your casual dismissal of the last 3 years of products is disrespectful to the many writers, editors and artists old and new that did put blood sweat and tears into those stories. They’re people too, for many of getting to work on official DnD is a dream. You talk a good game about doing the right thing and morality but you’re awfully selective over who you seem to care about. You don’t seem to appreciate that the people you’re slating as passionless drones are the 3pp writers of the next decade. Just as the current 3pp we’re working on earlier editions the decades before. The ironic thing is that in general the 3pp you say are amazing are for the most part very respectful, supportive and admiring of the current crop of writers.
WotC products are terrible because Dragons are Boring? Give me a break.
