Sorry, but how do you know that? Have they said they'd love to put out psionics rules, but don't because no one wants them? And even if that were true, why on Earth would they put out rules that no one wants? Like they are trying to make us eat our vegetables?* *Bad metaphor...I love my...

We're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one then. I believe that refining the system that is already working for them (and arguably a large number of their base) is the best course for the health of the game. Instead of taking a risk and tossing out what is currently working and...

I'm definitely looking forward to this. I picked up Everyday Heroes upon release, and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Although I haven't gotten any of the Movie packs, I'm going to grab the rules Compendium when they compile it I haven't had a chance to run it, but it's definitely on my...

Why would they release a whole new edition? This one is still selling strong. People are buying it. Presumably because they are enjoying it. You seem to be implying we are all only buying them because we are sheep following the crowd, and if we were only as discerning as you are, we would...

Oh come on. Are you seriously trying to villainize WOTC because they are trying to make money? Of course they are. Every single company out there is. Just because you personally don’t like what they’re selling, doesn’t mean it’s some big evil conspiracy to just fool us all into giving them...

3e certainly generated a vast amount of interest because of its newness. It was the first time D&D got torn down to bedrock and rebuilt from scratch. And it came at a time when a lot of us who started as kids had drifted away due to becoming adults and getting jobs, etc. But I still deny it...

Has it really though? Even though 5e was the new thing, lots of gamers stayed with 3e, or 4e, or some version of OSR. Lots of us did move to 5e, but that's because many of us do feel it was better. Not because it was new. If new was all that mattered, each edition would have won over the...

You keep making it sound like WoTC is throwing the whole lot of us under the bus. I understand you aren't happy, and haven't been for a long time (from the sounds of it). And there's probably a group of people who agree with you. But there's also a large number who aren't having anywhere near...

We were the same. I don't know if it's just because we were young, or because there was no internet to tell us we were wrong. But we mixed editions from BX through 2e without thinking about it. Granted, we didn't so much mix classes, but we happily used monsters and adventures from any...

I’m not sure why you think your situation is new or unique. I’m sure some of the OSR crowd felt that way when 3e came out. By your logic, we should have never moved on from interations of 1e just to keep them happy? Any long term community changes over the decades. The surest way for a...

Well, yeah. Welcome to being old. I don’t expect the new hotness to cater to me. I’ve long come to terms with the fact I’m no longer the prime target demographic for…well, anything anymore. If D&D suddenly turns into a game I don’t like (hasn’t happened yet), I’ll still have all my...

I’d definitely say he was a failed exp…oh wait, you mean in-universe. :)

True, and this is probably why it's more noticeable this season. In previous ones, Din was the only one in a helmet, and he could still manage while interacting with Greef, Cara, the widow in the village, etc. With this episode, everyone is wearing a helmet. Katee Sackhoff manages to project...

I think I agree on the helmets…it’s hampering the acting. My wife was commenting on that specifically this week…that part of the reason the dialogue was falling flat for her was that without seeing the actor’s faces was handicapping the performances. You know, they could have probably had the...

Yeah, I’ll agree that Bad Batch season 1 wasn’t top tier. But that’s my point. It was put together well enough that I could still sit back and enjoy it without wincing. This season of Mando currently isn’t. Maybe the difference does just come down to Filoni vs Favreau. Was Filoni still more...

That’s not quite fair. The show doesn’t need to be The Martian to be fun. I’ll admit I loved Andor, but I had loads of fun with seasons 1 and 2 of this show. But those seasons at least made a token effort at helping us suspend our disbelieve. This season, it just feels like the writer’s...

The puppet thing is definitely holding them back. It’s perfectly fine (impressively so) when he’s just sitting there being cute, or pitter-pattering around after someone. But it’s not going to work well for more a more action-based role.

Yeah, the Grogu training thing was also borderline ridiculous. Sure, they probably learn from an early age, but he’s still basically a toddler, it seems.

I don’t know. I’ll admit I don’t hold Star Wars to the same exacting expectations of logic like I would a more serious property, but this episode went way beyond that. “Don’t shoot it! It will kill the kid! Use jet packs!” Okay, fine that makes enough sense, and is a good enough reason to...

There already are lots of publishers making lots of different games. I’ve seen more new game systems in the last few years then I have in the 40 years I’ve been playing. 5e and the OGL certainly isn’t stopping that. Now, you may say that no one wants to play those, they only want D&D. Well...
