D&D 5E Does anyone else feel like the action economy and the way actions work in general in 5e both just suck?

LOLZ you guys.

I 100% made a general assumption.

So what.

What I said holds true for the majority of people in the hobby.

General
adjective
of, relating to, or true of such persons or things in the main, with possible exceptions; common to most; prevalent; usual: the general mood of the people.

There are always exceptions. Always.

The existence of exceptions does not disprove or render false general statements or assumptions.

That allowance is made in the dictionary definition of the word.

Nice try though.

So... you arbitrarily define what is general without any information which either evidences your statements or leaves room for interjection?

You would have enjoyed sequence of events to get the flail snail mail. The snaile was thirsty, and he required a special drink before you could access the bucket on his back.

That's right, you needed to buy a flail snail pale ale in order to get into the flail snail mail pail.

That is fabulous!

Arbitrary? Too funny!

I quoted the Dictionary definition of the word in my last post.

Pay attention.

No, I said you define what is general, not that you define the word general.

I would urge you to re-read my comment, especially because I said define "what is general", not define the word general.

1st person: Every good DM can find a game.

2nd person: No, there are real life problems that can result in a good DM not finding games.

1st person: We live in a 1st world country, so there is no way work can get in the way of a good DM finding a game.

3rd person: Not everyone here lives in a 1st world country.

1st person: I cannot be bothered to consider exeptions to my statemens, because I looked in to the dictionary and that gives my arguments a pass for being imprecise.

Precisely.

I made a general statement. Base on common knowledge of the GM to player ratio in the rpg hobby. Which holds true for the majority of the hobby.

The interjections of exceptions do not disprove or render false my general statement.

Its seems some people here are incapable of talking in generalities.

This is something I understand completely, but you have not defined anything except in the realm of the obvious. Should you have been made to bear a burden of being called a fool? No. I do understand exactly what you're saying, to be clear, but, although it is true that the majority of people who play D&D are likely to live in a 1st-world country, this does not justify an unwillingness to engage with situations outside of the norm.

I must reiterate, I do understand exactly what you meant originally, and, I don't think anyone could disagree with your original retort on the basis of fact.

Brevity is the soul of wit...

No in your case it was bad faith or laziness.

The suggestion that 5e isn’t modular (whatever you take that to mean)

Was pretty clearly stated in my original post. Did you actually read it? Or did you just skim it?

not only isn’t ‘slam dunked’ it isn’t even convincing.

Fine then let's have a discussion, that's what we're here for. But first you have to actually address what was said or nothing else can follow.

The system is clearly modular - as evidenced by the many expansions released in its lifespan.

It is not a binary is it. After all I said this:

I don't want to oversell it. It's not that difficult to play around with an houserule 5e. But it's not B/X or 13th Age or Castles and Crusades either.

Just pointing out that you're still not getting the basic point of the post you're failing to argue with. As for expansions, that would indicate modularity in a completely different form to what I was discussing. But if you bothered to actually read the post you were responding to it would be obvious that your "evidence" bears no relation to any points I made.
