What is the view of many who play D&D that WotC is blind to?

Yikes, I had a guess but decided to go look it up. Yes, better not to speak of it! Of course, my grandparents had a black cat with a name not to dissimilar and almost as equally cringe worthy. It is sometimes a wonder I didn't group a racist bigot!

I skipped 3e. In 4e gods only had aspects, not avatars, though they seemed to function identically to avatars. That is were I first came to the idea of 2 different representations of gods. I did debate which word should be used for which version. I decided on using avatars for the less powerful...

Thank you - glad you like it. This differences noted are based on my take on avatars and deities (and similar powerful entities). In my game, I have two different ways a god can "copy" themselves: Avatars and Aspects. An avatar is a immortal* living construct (not Construct) made from...

Your welcome! When it is finally done I will be posting it everywhere! ;)

The classes tab (wherever that is from) is still segregated with official material at the top and 3PP below. Featured sources, is the front page and is constantly changing. I personally never use it unless I am referencing a core book. The actual sources tab, where I go when I want a specific...

Agreed, it is easy to make 5e more challenging and/or "gritty" regardless which version you play.

I need to go back an look at that book again. I remember liking how it handled the big bads of the mythos, but not the specifics of what they did. This books more traditional in its approach: it uses 2024 design ideas plus the "mythic" trait from Theros.

This was interesting about mythos monsters:
