I really feel the whole company and D&D, in general, have lost their way much as many things have.

I really think they have gone way overboard with this stuff, i mean orcs are orcs flying monkeys are well flying monkeys both are made up and have no real-world representations.

I used the dumpster mimic in my modern fantasy setting and caught the players all off guard.

Wow, what a bad example, that's a physical object and not even close to the same reason as behind an RPG system. As an RPG game system can effortlessly be changed by adding or taking away a few rules. A better example would be that you prefer a jeep over and hummer both are off road but it is...

Do you want examples? because I have over 5 other books really more that use 5e for everything from superheroes to alien space opera and cyberpunk old west and more. While i am not saying anything bad about this book or system feel that unless it is an official release that it will not work, and...

To be honest, any system can be used to do any type of setting, i have used D&D to play space opera and modern fantasy settings, the weird west and cyberpunk. All it really takes is enough time and imagination to do the work to make the alterations and put together the setting. But if you don't...

Thank goodness i got them before they did,

Played this through all the adventures published to the point the DM was like well that's it folks. Now i have surpassed premade adventures and prefer to create my own. This system was pretty easy and still have good memories of the time we played, loved the blob race and the space adventures...

Would have rather had darksun or planescape before this.

I use the starting ages from the first and second editions and the older bonuses and penalties, also i do not automatically let players just up abilities willy-nilly. There has to be a reason and method going from primary abilities that get the bonuses and are forbidden to add or up the ones...

right well how many times i have heard this line, oh CD's are a fad, records are better or case tapes, i will go as far to say that small USB chips will at some point replace this as well down the road, heck you can fit many gigs on a small chip plug and play now. Once this becomes the norm you...

Yes, but buying a physical copy of something vs a digital online sub to something that unless you paid up or buy some added options you really don't own anything. I have digital PDF books on a laptop and physical books, but this is keeping everything to itself while selling you the option to...

Digital is ok, but I fear that it will try a dominate D&D and we will lose what's left of what made the game what it was. As a DM i do use some digital tools to help with running a game, unlike the old days when i handwrite everything now I type it up and use other websites to keep track and...

I remember them saying that 5e was the last edition, well it obviously not, 5e is the last edition I will ever back from this company. I have decided to use all the older versions and some of my own fixes to fill the gaps. I saw an article about the balance of melee and casters and the reason...

exploration and wilderness travel is one of the areas that a druid and ranger would shine at, to travel like that almost required one in the group otherwise you ended up hopelessly lost or somewhere you didn't want to be. This also meant finding food and water and herbalism for poultices and...

The issue I have is that the game started like chess and is moving more to checkers, streamlining and making the game less complex to appeal to a greater mass of people well you get what you give. Mind you you just have to look around at other systems which are very simple to play, and the more...

I hardly ever took the ability increases, as I thought the feats were a better option, I also favoured only one class and never liked multiclassing as it tended to cause you to not be able to gain many of the top abilities in a class. Being old school from 1st on, the ability increase just felt...

I backed OSE and am waiting for the books to be delivered, i liked 2nd edition back in the day and played 1st, but both had their own issues. With OSE i think they have polished it up to the best and fixed many of the older issues from what i have read. Any way can't wait, and i am seriously...
