The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

If we Thanos-snapped all the 4e bitterness, there would be a massive void in a ton of threads right now.

Arguably, you could use a much more targeted snap.

Yeah but then it gets difficult to parse threads since its being injected into every other topic currently.

The only way to be truly safe is not just to put your phone in the microwave, but to turn on the microwave with your phone in it. At least ten minutes.

Only the radiation from the microwave will work to cancel the FEMA-waves.

Be sure to let others know!

It's no Thanos, but I've noticed a single click of the Ignore button can really condense things in certain threads.

As always, The Dude can solve every problem.

Which is a pattern I have seen repeated in my play. When I am looking for a new group, it is usually D&D. After a while, the group is established, and we will branch out and try other games. Rinse, repeat.

That’s how it’s worked for me twice now. As a teenager, my friends wanted to play 2e so we played that. Once we had played for a few months, other games were given a try. We played TSR’s Marvel Superheroes, Shadowrun 2e, and TMNT. My current group was people looking to play 5e and 4 years in we have also played Call of Cthulhu and made PF2e what we play weekly now with plans to try Pendragon and Starfinder at some point. So much easier to pivot to something else once you have a functional group going.

I’ll have to consult my microchip to see if I’m allowed to turn off my phone.

Certainly not!

But generally, complexity comes with a cost. 5e is hardly overly complex, and yet I've seen many players struggle with just the options they are presented on the most basic classes.

Actually, I've argued that almost any incarnation of D&D is, in practice, more complex than a lot of systems people perceived as "more complex" because the D&D design space is so focused on exception based design. This is particularly bad for spellcasters, but once anything like feats get into play its to some extent true for everyone.

This isn't resolution complexity, but it still requires more and more cognitive overhead to remember what you can do over time.

(This in no way counters your general point, just to make it clear; I just think people understate D&D-sphere game complexity because the basic resolution is not where that complexity lays).
