D&D General Millennial D&D (+)

I thought 5e was the Millenial edition, why else do we have tieflings and dragonborn and plasmoids and everyone can be small or medium or ambiguously undefined

Everyone hits, there are no misses when you swing your weapon.
Everyone gets the same XP, even if you misses a night of gaming.
Everyone now gets a free feat to start.
Every race can be small or medium
Every weapon now deals 1d10

Nah, this is what they pitched to our Boomer parents, because they really wanted their kids to be good at the game. But then when it actually came out they decided it was the culprit behind all of our perceived moral failings.

I keep asking how old you lot think we are because people keep applying Gen Z stereotypes to Millenials.

Everyone knows that Millenials are the most murderous generation: we kill every type of industry and small business imaginable because we don't have any friggin money to spend on them.

4e was the Millennial edition.

Came out in a financially tumultuous time, never really got a chance to be successful due to factors outside its control, hated by the generations before and after it. Checks out.

5e is what a Gen Xer thinks a Millennial edition that a Boomer would play.

Millennial D&D would be something like the love child of Daggerheart and MCDM painted with video game and 90s-00s cartoon and anime bits

Most sages and philosophers are Generation X and they're hella hard to find because they're hiding from Boomers, Millennials, and Generation Z.

We don't need to hide. There aren't many of us to begin with, nobody even remembers we are there, and nobody's looking for us.

Us latchkey kids had the best entertainment, independence and stability. GenX is the last happy generation

The generations coming after us hate us?

To continue a bit in the spirit of the OP:

• The spell Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion gets renamed to Mordenkainen's Medium-Sized Condomium, because few Millenial Wizards can afford more than that
• Good- and neutrally aligned bards can choose between playing Grunge, Goth Rock or Metal; evil bards always play Eurodance
• The range of possible animal companions is greatly expanded by a number of initially small weird creatures that can grow as they level up and have magic attacks - to get them to fight for you, you have to say its name and "I choose you!"
