This from the poster who thinks their own personal circle is more "mass market" than multiple tables assembled from folks pulled from multiple tables at an flgs AL night. I've also tried to point out a few times to you that the first time I saw it I was a player who obviously wouldn't have...

That's where the not a single player game distinction is so important. Something can be fun for a subset of players because they are actively involved in doing something while the others are totally uninvolved not impacted and are just sitting around twiddling their thumbs waiting for half the...

Actually doing it & I'm not the only one who has complained about it, the question is dismissive and unreasonable. Your question is kinda demonstrating why "my players don't do that [so I won't even consider them doing it for discussion purposes] must be a you/your player problem 😍the thing is...

Really? Fun police? An at will time suck design that depends on someone at the table to be the jerk who is digging out the fun police badge to moderate the designed in time wasting excess is absolutely a problem of design.

You don't get it. Everyone else is sitting around twiddling their thumbs bulking up their dice tower skills. It's mind numbing & made worse because the whole as slapstick routine is largely the top damage dealers in the party wasting a lot of table time trying to badly perform the...

You know we aren't discussing a single player game right? It's mind numbing when player after player after player is wasting time weapon juggling and wandering around making every combat turn into a drawn out slog of three stooges square dancing

Huh❓⁉️ I don't even know how to respond to this because it sounds like a massively flawed understanding of pre4e tactical positioning action based consequences and so on. I seem to recall both monsters and players benefitting from it pretty equally to protect their squishy types with sticky...

His "Players" are Professional Voice Actors engaged in putting on a massively profitable made for profit presentation intended for passive viewer consumption. Are you suggesting that is the bar players should be expected to meet after choosing not to ring out during a pre-session zero casting...

The mechanics alone are responsible and many people pointed it out during the play test. When an at will passively applied effect lasts for one round and can't be stacked it becomes logical to swap to a different weapon on the second attack and if someone already applied it before your turn.

First 5.25game i played in I had a warlock player lean over to me (a wizard player) and say something like"this is stupid and I'm bored to tears" because every martial was juggling weapons like they were putting on a circus show between wandering around pointlessly at no risk while breaking up...

3.x and 2e∆ versions of that were passive.it happen because of where everyone was in relation to each other how they were facing and sometimes because the one taking turn was about to do something that gave one of the others a chance to be sticky with an AoO due to movement or spellcasting...

Flash flash hundred yard dash is that you? Have you seen a human moving around in the world?

I covered this before and have no idea why you are quoting that post asking for a definitionof a single term thrown out by another poster by describing "a grouping of play styles" so broad that it can't even be narrowed down to a single definable thing. You kinda proved the point. I don't run...

I'm not the one who first used the term you are up in arms over me having mentioned. I'll take this deflection as acceptance that simply asking for said term to be defined in plain English without quoting the blog post is a very high bar.
