I am sure there are those people, but I am not one of them. I am happy to list the mistakes I think WotC (or TSR or any company) has made (and there are many) if you want. But not acknowledging the good with the bad just makes you look overly biased and/or ignorant. Then you double down on your bias/ignorance and claiming opinions are facts. I guess it is just what people do in this country when they can't defend their actions/opinions.I get that some people want to be WotC Apologists and defend their ineptitude, but facts are facts. I leave you to it
IMO, it's just weird to come into a thread about what D&D stuff people are excited for and post on the evils/ineptitude/your disdain for WotC & D&D while calling those actually engaging with the premise of the thread...apologists... Thats not thread drift it's threadcrapping.
Just because you SAY they aren't factual doesn't mean you're correct. When I pointed out WotC has "borrowed" ttrpg design concepts from other designers, then pointed out those other designers, that's fact not opinion. But again, I'll leave you to your defense of WotC
Who hasn't "borrowed" ttrpg design concepts from other designers and games when designing a new game? I'd love to hear the name of a wholly new and innovative ttrpg that borrows nothing from any other game.Just because you SAY they aren't factual doesn't mean you're correct. When I pointed out WotC has "borrowed" ttrpg design concepts from other designers, then pointed out those other designers, that's fact not opinion. But again, I'll leave you to your defense of WotC
No, when you said WotC borrowed TTRPG design I agreed with you! Did you even read my post!?Just because you SAY they aren't factual doesn't mean you're correct. When I pointed out WotC has "borrowed" ttrpg design concepts from other designers, then pointed out those other designers, that's fact not opinion. But again, I'll leave you to your defense of WotC
On some level, it would be amusing and interesting to see what WoTC borrowed from other TTRPGs and vice versa.
I don't want to drag this thread any more off topic than the current round of argument about borrowed RPG design is already, but I think there is a wide gap between "Hey, the language rules in 2024 are a step backwards, what can be done to fix them?" and "WotC hasn't put out a good D&D product since 2004 and I haven't bought a single one in 21 years. Here is my opinion on the new PHB which I haven't read."
Soooo... What exactly is the flood of all this gatekeeping dressed up as outrage over "complaints" & "anger" if not your specific preferences and wants?
