I feel the OSR can do that because it is a smaller grassroots ground-up movement, this one isnt i feel, it was a top down thing, that started with legitimacy and legacy and ends with it, I feel this may happen one day, but it will be long after 5e. In the end the next time something like this...

My issue is i dont think think 5e is even dead enough yet to consider this, and the problem is "official" is the reason why it was so unified to begin with, and also because that is the version and idea pedaled and taught in stores worldwide, you cannot make a successor without having that...

tbh ive just kept calling it 1dnd or 5.5e and left it at that.

not at all as all of these classes use weapons, and cantrips mainly(which my rule specifically notes out) and have alternative ways of using slots that encourages using them in other ways, plus higher defenses means its less likely to happen. It actually makes the logic of those classes make...

In the older days of dnd, casters were kinda artillery units, they were powerful but slow, vulnerable, and cumbersome, how they enforced this was with the rules for a spellcaster, making it so you had to declare spellcasting at the beginning of the round and it was cast when your turn would come...

https://thealexandrian.net/wordpress/50206/roleplaying-games/remixing-the-shattered-obelisk He made a post about "remixing" the shattered obelisk. Well kinda, its basically him saying their is nothing worth remixing your better off just taking the core concept and maps and making a actually...

He criticized all of that too, this is the most minor thing he brings up, and its not about anyone getting lost in the room, its about how this book has multiple locations that are just...presented worse, for no reason, just none, you still are arguing for worse, like okay man you like eating...

Im glad im not alone in how weird it is people are just going out of their way for argue for worse.

there is over 1400 words in that section before you understand the layout of the map they give you. My paragraph had less than 300

Again it was 3 rooms, and the information about those 3 rooms which are important details about where the hostages your supposed to save, and the place where the details of where the next adventure is are there, without a key, its just buried in 2 paragraphs of detail, it isnt even clear which...

Did he? They didnt key a part of the dungeon, that happened, and put the information is large paragraphs and also didnt label them on the map making it a harder reference then otherwise. And the worst part is that isnt even what your arguing youve been arguing "Oh well its okay becuase idk i...

Im not saying you have to agree with justin or disagree with him, im not even makign the same point as him, im saying that i feel this is just worse then doing what they did before even for small areas, and its just makes it harder to run for no good reason, and i think that is worth...

Yea and referencing the layout on the map takes 3 seconds, and is immediately easy to reference always, with less time wasted. Again, why are you defending worse in a 30-70$ product, like arguing its a minor issue fair, but it is just kinda worse, and it doesnt happen once it happens quite a...

My problem is, is this not just worse then normal keying, or doing something much simpler then just writing down the label on the map? Because it is, the fact you need to read through 2 paragraphs to even understand the basic map thing, when you didnt really need to do that before in the entire...

I mean im not even arguing for the major keying bit, im arguing that they should just be labeled on the dm side of the map because its just a better reference since you can just look at it and understand the lay out instead of reading through 2 paragraphs to get basic information of the...

Its not a standalone room, did YOU read the adventure? They even note them as seperate rooms Its 3 rooms one with the hostages, and the basic office of the bad guy with the info to continue the adventure, and the fight room. Like again, i dont think its modernism rotting the minds, but its...

I have, i actually did read it before he ever made this review as i was excited for a LMOP follow up, and was a bit confused by that section as well, now after reading the paragraph i got it, but it was just harder to reference then if, they did the barest of minimums and at least on the DM map...

Yea and those 3 rooms i have to look through a paragraph of nothing instead of just looking at the key and seeing whats there in a 5 seconds. Like, this is just a basic information deliver failure here, and its not in the same room they are seperate room the game even treats them as such

I tihnk its more of a organizational issue, where the book considers these things seperate rooms, with contents in them, but formats them in a worse kinda trashier way instead of just keying them as normal, for no reason. Like sure its a minor thing, but they legit just formatted it worse and...

I remember it was something about Justin not getting something from the kickstarter of the new Enworld site years ago, him confronting morrus about it, and then banning him, at least thats hos sode of the story I know justin doesnt allow the promotion of enworld in his circles due to that, as...
