D&D General Boomer/GenX 5e? (+)

[Vaalingrade]

Whoever made all the intentional design choices to make 5e look like 2 and 3e to the detriment of modern design philosophy must be feeling real sad reading this...

Shh! Don't tell them about the Secret Brotherhood of the Xennials!

As a Gen Xer, I just shrug and mutter, "Whatever, dude."

Why not get a little avant garde with it? What does Gen X combined with Gen Alpha D&D look like?

If I and my 4 year old son made a game together I'd probably involve elemental magic in the Axial Age, plus anthropomorphic animals in cool vehicles interacting with sea creatures and dinosaurs.

And I still remember the trouble I got in with my Dad over it.

I prefer the term "Oregon Trail Generation"

Yeah, at least the OP is acknowledging that we exist!

It’s so funny watching news and seeing the generation reports go from Baby Boomers straight to Millennials.

I remember seeing a survey that asked: Which generation is most often overlooked?

a. Boomer
b. Millennials
c. Gen Z
d. Gen Alpha

Boomers are people in their 60s and 70s. Have you tried teaching new stuff to your grandpa? It can be a bit tedious. Old people are not really into new stuff, generally speaking. GenX are in their mid 40s and 50s. 5e has enough nostalgia vibes from 2ed, so they are kind of covered on that aspect.

Milenials and oldest gen Z are in their prime earning and spending years, or close enough. No matter the generation, people in late 20 and 30s are prime customer demographics. Out of party years, disposable income to spend on leisure activities, parents so they control the wallet when it comes to products aimed at kids.

Can you say that again Sonny? I forgot to use my ear trumpet! Oye, I got news for you, people's brains don't shrivel up at age 60!
