Shame, but the other versions AREN'T outright cancelled, at least. I DO agree that 5E isn't the BEST choice for the setting, but I'm still willing to give it a chance.

How is it possible that you made this thread that isn't about 4e into one where you hate on it for no good reason? Why are you forcing that sort of negativity down our throats in this thread?

No one is raising the spectre of 4E here except for you. If you haven't ever checked out a game where there's mechanical support for roleplay, I don't think 4E is even it. Watch the Critical Role Monsterhearts video linked above.

Though there were a fair amount of Monsterhearts/PBtA fans who said CR was playing it wrong at the time.

We should remember other things:

- Sourcebooks about crunch aren't too easy to sell when it is no so popular system.

- If it is about a famous franchise, then the players who wanted lore/background can search fandom wikis.

Searching fan wikis is often unsatisfying for a certain generation of fan. I own numerous fictional encyclopedias and history books for a reason.

Reading raw, unfiltered and poorly-presented facts is a far less pleasurable experience for me.

Is it really an actual play podcast if they're playing by all the rules?

I wasn't part of that discussion because I've never had the chance to play either but...

I hate that as gamers, instead of being impressed that someone with the reach that CR has is even introducing MH/PBTA to people who've never heard of it, we're more concerned with if someone is playing it 'right'. To me, that's exactly what holds small games back.

And before anyone says 'not all MH fans...', yes. Online amplifies all opinions.

And many would prefer to not relitigate the edition wars every time they come to the site.

So, how about, going forward, you find a way to express your positions without poking forks into old scars? Thanks.

I could be wrong but is this the first time this has happened? A licensed game being pushed into 5e?

Honestly surprised it doesn't happen more often, Star Trek RPG would have made alot more money with 5e for example.

I wouldn't be too suprised if after the end of the licence of Star Trek rpg by Mophidius Hasbro wanted it knowing maybe Disney would rather to publish their own Star Wars rpg.
