You are just as much of a problem as he is, ready to judge/scream and a reading apprehension of 'not much' (if you think I'm writing apologia for him). Maybe put down that lance, get of that high horse and stop angling for those windmills... ;)

If people 'judge' inexperienced people by their own experienced experiences, then they are fools! And I'm sure there are many of those. But often in these situations people are either looking for a certain skill set with 'enough' experience or 'potential'. See it as work, it is foolish to expect...

I wouldn't say that D&D was 'better' before. I like 2e over Basic, I like 3e over 2e, I didn't like 4e and 5e is just a step up from 3e (rules wise). I would even say that readability of the rules have increased drastically. But that is mechanically. 'fluff' wise things have been (re)written to...

Measuring 'intelligence' is iffy at the best of times. If we look at something like IQ testing, there's something called the Flynn Effect which pretty much states that average IQ goes up 3 points every 10 years (let's not go into details where IQ testing is flawed, country/culture bound, era...

I understand what @Vincent55 is getting at, but he's getting at it in a pretty arsehole way. Theoretically every generation should be getting more intelligent on average, but folks being 50 won't notice that difference at all. That would take a LOT more generations... What is happening is that...

For me a RPG is a combination of rules, 'fluff', and presentation. As an example, I thought that D&D 4E was very mechanically strong, but absolutely lacked in presentation/fluff, I liked the artwork, but it just crushed any inspiration to DM/play. D&D 5E brought back a balance of good mechanics...

I've been playing some form of D&D for ~35 years. I collected a LOT of 2e, I think everything 3e, most of 4e (which I thought lacked imagination), and just the PHB from 5E (which I did like)... With all the other RPGs, miniature games books, etc. I've collected over the past 35 years, my book...

The thing people should remember more is: Your heroes are people, people are not perfect, and in 50-100 years you can make many (horrible) mistakes. I wonder how you would like it if people dug up all your past mistakes... Also understand that judging people and things from many decades ago...

That wouldn't work, the first time he takes them out, the combined luck will result in them tripping over an artifact that resurrects them all. Next thing you know they're 'borrowing' Soths bones right out from under him... ;-) I'm very happy there's going to be a separate Draconian pack!

There are no clowns in Spelljammer. And you can't convince me otherwise! ;-)

Shadowrun kinda lost me after 3e and the FASA collapse... Everything 1e, 2e and 3e is still in my bookcase though! In some of the newer books I either detested the art direction and/or the lore/world building direction. But Monday I bought some SR 6E pdfs via a Bundle of Holding deal to read...

I love the format, I just hoped for thicker books! I dislike the move to more Astral Space and some of the playable races. The Giff are great, humanoid like Slime... Not so much... This will probably get me to buy physical D&D products again (books+minis)... Even though actual play seems...

This reminds me of Aria (Worlds) from Last Unicorn Games, almost 30 years ago...

Boxed sets confirmed? ;-)

Hmm... That much hype and speculation, only to be disappointed by a collection of adventures that don't form a campaign... Talk about underwhelming... I would have preferred that this was about one of the old setting revamps we keep hearing about.

Respect!

Then you claim you don't understand the subject matter, if that is the case, maybe do not make claims like the above... Blockchain technology is not crypto or nft, they both use blockchain technology, but that doesn't make blockchain technology by definition environmentally damaging and of...

Being a freelancer is no different from being a regular employee imho as far as employ ability goes. Yes, you have more risks, but you also have more freedom in how you operate. It depends on the field you're in and the state of the market on how precarious your position is, but you always need...

I'm wondering, here in the Netherlands a company CEO can be held personally liable if he/she 'improperly' managed the company. That sounds great in theory, in practice that is often difficult to prove... Is there something similar in the US? Or is this only with criminal actions as CEO?

I have the old metal Ral Partha Tiamat and a couple of the old prepainted D&D minis (WotC). I also have the (still) unpainted Reaper huge not-Tiamat. I'm curious how this one will look, generally the painting on the Wizkids minis is not very good, but with such a huge canvas it might become...
