We'll have to agree to disagree. I think the series would have been far better without them.

Avenger of the Green.

but since 1e there have been players that love that stuff. This is the problem with rules for everything. My game may not be ok for your players and your game may not be ok for my players. If a group of players want to play D&D (Paranoia Edition) more power to them.

OH god no. He killed the show with the absolute Narcississtic need to outdo himself every episode till it just felt stupid. I simply want good writers and a director that is ok just making good shows and hoping for great ones instead of trying so hard to make great ones he misfires more than...

I think some people that truly love the idea of sandbox play with no rules>not sure it could actually exist> get confused with the concept of Tyranny of Choices. Most people are overwhelmed by a large number of choices and sieze up and make no choice. It's so universal it's a serious part of...

problem is then it starts to feel like High School or a Job. If they want to stay everything is going well if you have to make them stay then why are they there?

I'd not call it ranger. Just take the sacred cow off the chopping block. But the idea is sound especially if you tie them to neutral to neutral evil Druidic Orders who want to take down monsters, hero's or any other enemies of the balance.

and with that welcome to section 13 or Star Trek Discovery. Or possibly Watchmen.

I'd expand that to dissonance between those how want one kind of a game vs the other. I've seen players ruin the game for each other because they weren't willing to compromise on their vision of the game they wanted. IT's not just GM's vs players. I know players who get bent out of shape if...

This is something the few who've never had to deal with the narcissist, or players that just push even when you draw your lines will never get. And sometimes it can be your friends, family, or coworkers just to make it even more uncomfortable. It was never lost people are the same now as...

True I'm mostly pointing out it's normal human behavior and some take it way too far. . I don't blame people for wanting to be awesome. Just too much awesome can be a pain, think a party of 5 Barney Stinsons. Even on player like that gets old fast if you are trying to do a group game.

Orrre statistically one out of 4 of the ones that get rolled should be. But I'd wager most +1 weapons placed in any game never get rolled. DM just says you get a +1 thingy

Yep. It's a game where any DM can set the bar at any level so pretending there is a general baseline set by Devs is just silly. And you see that in modules since 1st ed.

A larger percentage of players than I'd like, love to be the best and most powerful. Modern video games reinforce this. It's not that they want to break the system. They just want to be the best, most powerful, most knowledgeable skill monkey, whatever. It's a human thing. Happens at work and...

Honestly if you don't have MinMaxers (and to be fair the type of encounters DM's throw at parties can turn anyone into a min maxer) and lean more towards roleplaying then 3e is probably the best so far. But if the Min Max mindset takes over it's a race to see who gets Nukes first.

in my experience it really just depends on the party composition. A party high in magic and low in melee would find greater magic resistanct a serious problem. A party with a mage to deal with the magic that is mostly melee will find it annoying. I think this is a lot of the reason CR's are...

yep. merging all the spell lists because it was too hard to keep track of everything was the worst thing they ever did to casters.

This is what most of the failed Star trek stuff lost. the Optimism and eventual happy endings in a universe where morals and ethics trump fear. It's the same thing that made Orville worth watching as well.
