You might be right, but which was Frodo ?

So you have never actually never played 4e?

Be careful they may start commenting about the clothes you wear being old fashioned & outdated, or that your taste in cars is still popular, at your local senior citizen center. They may ask if you ever met Henry ford himself. Calling someone gamers stupid might not be the best way to get new...

You forgot the Third and Forth types; Those who purchased 4e PHB only then to return it, (or give away as a gift) then falsely claiming they gave 4e a FAIR trail. Those who only browsed the 4e books at the store, then decided they hate 4e without ever making ANY effort to try 4e.

This depends on how many such Unpleaseable fans exist. I can only hope the total number of elitist, narrow minded, unreasonable, & selfish fans are vocal, yet are only a small minority of the whole D&D community. I sadly still have high hopes for the future of D&D.

I hope you can do that but, I don't want to waste time creating something I can just open a MM then use. Yet I am not denying you from doing it your way. Maybe I will create a boss from scratch, only If i choose to. So If I understand, You hope the D&D 5eNext has nothing from 4e, regardless if...

The term gamist is going to have varied mean to different people using it. Consider that a metaphor, for just because a concept is from 4e, doesn't make it bad. Maybe that is not what you are saying, but sadly many people think that way. Fine. Don't ban books in my library (another metaphor), if...

I believe many people toss 'buzz' words at concepts they dislike, like rice at a wedding. Since there are many play styles, tactical being one, it seems like thinly veiled edition bashing. All play styles MUST be considered & included. But we are discussing the way the game is played. I object...

Why ban bosses? Why deny myself who does? Why not have BOTH. You can just choose to ignore boss monsters, why do we need omit parts of the game because you dislike them. This is a form of censorship, remove all the books from the library, which I don't like. We need freedom of choice.

If a goblin gets a + 3 rather than a + 1. it is not arbitrary nor gamist . Goblins only exist in fantasy, and in fantasy RPGs. The 'G' is for game, games have rules. You may agree with those rules or NOT, but that doesn't make those rules better or gamist. Making sense is goblin can't...

D&D is a GAME not a simulation, games have rules. If you want to call a rule gamist , well fine. You realize hit points & saving throws don't exist it the real world, right? I have only nrarely played MMOs, but I amazed that so many people HATE everything about them. Most say they have 'NEVER...

Calling something what it truly is, is NEITHER arbitrary nor abstract. Done! You are taking Grognardism to new levels. Please play whatever edition you what, no one is hindering you, why worry what 5eNext is the? You will hate it whatever it turns out to be. Regardless If you like Harry...

YOU GOT THE POINT EXACTLY. Your players are having fun. If both the DM & players have had a fun & enjoyable few hour, it was done correctly, regardless of tags, keywords, roles, style, or edition.

No less ridiculous and presumptuous than calling a "BOSS'" a bad trope.

Are Dragons not a solo/boss fight? In any edition? Never have I DM'd, when I said you see a Dragon, did anyone say "how many dragons?". Smaug the dragon is a boss fight, iconic & true. Have you removed ALL the Dragons from you game? Then remove Dragon & any other boss fighters, done. Easy...

A truly excellent point, maybe if we allow the infantry extra shots with their weapon, & carry a couple of extra ammo clips for free. Then maybe the F-22 could only fire the 20 mm cannon, and use their missiles, mach speeds, & stealth; each once per day. Missile bloat is a huge problem, we...

Marine Rifleman maybe, anyways, I think we have a good start on 5E Modern RPG.

If you narrate a fighter but not a swordmage, you just need to try harder. Contrived for tactical gamers. what? How? Why? Explain please. Since the major design goal of 5eNext is untie ALL the editions, not force many to a play-style that do not want. So you admits it is a 'good argument' which...

In this line of creativity, a group of low level casters could kill almost anything by casting that zero-level create water in all the monsters lungs. One round everything drowns. Does that make any more sense? There is huge difference between 'creativity' and munchkin/cheese, I think this...

Kind of, Army, Navy, & Marine are you class, then you get a specialty (Theme) so you can be Navy Pilot, Marine Pilot, Army Soldier, Marine Soldier, Navy medic, and so on.
