No 5e threads for now, please

[Piratecat]

It's probably a valid topic of conversation. Unfortunately, it's also a valid topic of conversation that really annoys us. So let's avoid any 5e threads for the time being.

Thanks!

Great! I would prefer to talk about 8e, anyway, which will be a fascinating math-heavy game played by our robot overlords while humans slave away in silicon mines.

Is 6e, 7e, 8e, and 9e conversation verboten, as well?

(we all know there will be no 10e, because the evolved cockroaches who will replace us as the dominant sentient species only play GURPS.)

-O

Thanks! Good call.

Well, I liked the discussion on the idea of removing to-hit rolls. Fresh takes on how to create resolution mechanics. But certainly not necessary to frame that in a 5E or any type of D&D context...

I think the ban is because of the implicit "cash cow" or "editionitis" criticism behind some of these threads. 4E will likely be around for multiple years, so nobody can claim such threads are needed right now.

Of course, now I am assuming the ban is on D&D 5E; not fifth editions of games in general

Why? Because it annoys you? That's it? There's only been a few threads so far, it's not like it's choking up the first page like the .pdf issue, that eventually required its own sub-forum. And that no rolling to hit thread was really interesting, even though the concept horrifies me.

Nope. God help you if you want to discuss the latest Ars Magica version.

Politics is a fickle and unpredictable mistress.

I've never understood people getting so upset about matters revolving around editions of games and their presentations.

However this ain't my board and I'm also with those who say that the issue could have been discussed generally, without resort to mentioning edition (if that truly upsets people), though I think Xech did it that way because the article framed the argument that way.

Still I thought it was a kinda interesting thread too.
Gave me a few new ideas.

I hope it doesn't, and suspect it really won't, kill those kinda general idea discussion threads.
