I don’t think this is true at all. Optimizers have more to do with player personalities than rules system. Some players want to work the system. Some players just want to play the game with people they enjoy spending time with. I barely know how to make a character and don’t care to know...

I think multi-classing is cheating…but what do I know?

I’ve never met a game that you couldn’t optimize the joy out of. Balance is a myth and one the DMs main functions is to adjudicate. But we all know that the main function of the DM is collecting hit points from PCs. Mwah ha ha!!! It’s the tax they pay for making the DMs life difficult. 🤪

34 and sunny. ;)

I do agree that anyone can play any way they like and that expectations should be discussed. I've never understood how in a games that track hit points as a measure of your being aliveness that people can be surprised and or upset that their PC dies. Its right there on the page that says when...

Deadlier combat is a choice. You don't have to be a bad DM to enjoy challenging the players. I'm a DM that prefers deadly combat and my mom says I'm delightful. ☺️

Optimizers are people too. 🤓

Well that’s the X factor isn’t it? How do you make the perfect rules set when you can’t account first of all for taste let alone the unquantifiable number of “eventualities” that turn up while playing? At some point as a creator I’d have to imagine you just have to stop and say…this is it...

And that’s fine. You just solved de-grappling…for you. How many other people are going to find your well intended errata not to their liking? See what I’m saying? Now start on page one of the PHB and go through and solve all of the problems anyone has ever had with any rule/class/etc. and...

How many pages would a rule book be if publishers and game designers tried to account for everything?

Common examples wouldn’t work. You would need examples relative to the setting your playing but I’ll try. If you suggest that an assassin go stab the governor. That’s a reasonable suggestion to someone who stabs people for a living. If you suggest a first level cleric go stab the arch...

This chestnut never gets old for me. 😝

The open ended nature of the spell means that the suggestion should be reasonable to the parties involved and the context of the narrative at the moment. Reasonable being relative to all of the factors involved.

I don’t know the difference. I’ll do everyone the favor of not picking one and then arguing about why. 😎

Can anyone point me in the general direction where everyone constantly complains about the company that publishes the game they love? 🤔

As long as there are snacks I'm ok with whatever. 🥳

Marketing (if D&D ever gets any) is a pretty powerful force.

Some people are just bad at some things. Let it go.

It's going to happen on some level; of that i have no doubt. Maybe the robots will finally come up with a version of Hiding that everyone will like. ;) People complain about the stuff people make. People complain that the robots will be creating stuff. People complain about the stuff the...

I’m saying not everyone cares. The average person doesn’t know all the things about everything.
