That's just when the voice actor(s) that read the books yell every word in the book.

The one class i had an interest in playing during the 3 to 4th edition time frame other than a Rogue was a Chronomancer. I'm not sure how possible it was then and I'm not sure if it's possible now.

I think there's a wizard subclass in Explorer's Guide to Wildemount that could be a good starting point.

There's a Time Magic wizard subclass, the Chronurgist, (and some time-magic spells) in Explorer's Guide to Wildemount.

What I'd hope was "How can I have the rules still allow the type of game I like to play/run without too much surgery." does seem to turn into either "How can I force everyone to play the type of game I like to play/run as a default." or "Dang your preference is out of touch."

It does seem qualitatively different than when the same discussions were happening during 4E: "the current system doesn't support that, sorry" vs. "you shouldn't want the thing you want."

Re: The Chronomancer: A number of folks have attempted to adapt the 2E version on the DMs Guild. No idea how well they work, given that the 2E version didn't necessarily work well to begin with.

You've read those threads, too.

No, just had a few hundred 5E players none of whom wanted anything remotely like a challenge or connection to or debt owed to a powerful NPC. They want the power without the drawbacks.

Maybe the "DM shortage" is actually a shortage of non-jerk DMs.

If you mean referees who want their game to be more challenging than a game of solitaire, probably.

To be fair, for a proper chronomancer it shouldn't matter whether it's then or now. Or next week, for that matter.

In case one wanted to stop being undercover, this could go for the profile pic...

In my wife's campaign, we had a player who wanted his warlock to be his own patron. Basically, he wanted to play a warlock without any of the warlock flavor...essentially a short-rest sorcerer that can cast Eldritch Blast. They really tried to accommodate his request, but it wasn't working...he went with Fiend.

I have a warlock who ate his patron...
Back in the old days I ran a cleric who was his own god as well...

Personally, though, I'm kind of a fan of playing up the patron's influence on the warlock when I play one - for the most part, warlocks make pacts with beings whose inclinations and goals align with theirs, so there's little reason to protest against having your patron give you something to do in game when it's something you'd be inclined to do anyway...
