As someone who think about game designs, the current 'meta' of 1-2 fight novas is atrocious. As a player, I'd take this meta over resource attrition any day of the week. It's better designed I agree, but I don't want a better design like that.

This is good actually

I don't have a clear specific on the spell system--maybe it's Weird Wizard style where classes have access to specific schools of magic that they can mix and match within those selections, maybe each caster is a different school, maybe it's 4e/ICON style where they're just combat roles. I just...

I'm imagining the social classes would be something like 'Zealot' where it's all about standing and spreading your beliefs, or a 'Noble' class where it's about ingratiating yourself and using the social structure of society, or a 'Meek' where it's all about spying and eavesdropping by being...

Yes, and the fact that its the only caster designed like that is a tragedy

I want to cast mid spells all day long with one or two big flashy reality bending spells. The fact that I can cast them more than 3 times per day is atrocious.

A combat and social focused game with more relational/narrative mechanic built-in. I want a fun punch-up game where classes can do cool naughty word as early as possible, completely skipping the 'early game nobody' part to just be something that's optional with mechanics for either relationships or...

Hotter take but vancian is bad. Yes, but they are speaking to people like me who despise OSR sensibilities.

Sorry, that's how new editions come about Micah.

Because who else is going to support my desire for the game. Time, taste, and corporate meddling and other considerations by WotC will inevitably sand it off from compromise with other playstyles and reality so I should advocate the style I want as much as I can.

Exactly, so my wishes and dislikes will continue to be spew out by me--one of them is to advocate for D&D to shed more of it's legacy systems.

Lanefan also wants to change modern D&D by making it return to old D&D, I have the right and desire to want it to change too.

Sorry @Hussar I don't want 'more interesting supply tracking', I want no supply tracking period.

Because Lanefan believes in the idea that it's easier to remove than add in houserules, so any kind of old rule shouldn't be abandoned or removed--good or bad for the customer base's play experience. Especially since he's a fan of the old-style I however, am an anti-fan, so I want those stuff...

Yes but my experience was that unless you were a sword and boarder with heavy armour it was easy to just not think about it since we weren't going for a survival campaign in a 2014 campaign. I had a oneshot with 2024 but we weren't even tracking it.
