Just wait until you get to my age, when you watch a show or movie I loved during my younger years and look up the actor to see what they are doing now and they are all dead... :/

I put 30+ hours into CIV VII and stopped. Not a fan of it, and was quite disappointed. I enjoyed CIV VI much better. So I went back old school and am playing Dawn of War until Solasta II comes out

I started doing that in Twilight Fables, but have been doing it for subsequent books as well. I would have said "universal support for that lore inclusion", but apparently not ;) :P

Context is important. And in this context, it's important to realize: The overwhelming number of complaints out there in the world about the items listed in the original post are about "going woke". I would say more than 3/4 of people complaining about ruining those things mention "going woke."...

Especially how he played his personal games with different rules than he wrote in the 1e books. I mean, who didn't, right? But it's flawed to treat the 1e books as Sacrosanct (no pun intended) when he himself would use house rules that differed from those rules.

All y'all talking about how expensive D&D is and the Warhammer fans are all like

Yeah...none of that is really true. It's just your opinion. I especially roll my eyes at the Star Wars reference, because the prequels came before Disney got involved (which were loathed by hardcore fans), and some of the best regarded Star Wars media came out after Disney took over (Andor...

If I were WotC, I wouldn't do more than a token nod to "grognards" or older TSR editions either. And I say this as a guy whose favorite edition is 1e/2e mashup. They've already been burned hard on that. With 5e, they made the effort to pay attention to us. They hired consultants who were...

Not to pick on you, but statements like this always rub me the wrong way. The claim that we only like older games because of nostalgia. It's dismissive and not true. It's a different game, a different style of play. One that is equally valid and enjoyable by people today just like every other...

Do grognards still matter? Yes, because they are the ones running D&D. People seem to forget or ignore that Chris and Jeremy and others all played AD&D back when it was current. So by the definitions given in the OP, master grogs are in control of D&D. Which in turn means it's super weird for...

I would not be a master grognard without pointing out in a grognard thread that the late 90s is not a "long, long time." :P

Irregardles, for all intensive purposes, they should have flushed out their response better. I mean, the proof is in the pudding.

You're not a grognard unless you complain about how oversensitive and fragile younger players are while also getting all offended and bent out of shape over little things without seeing the cognitive dissonance ;) *for the record, I'm a master grognard by your list.

It's clear of the financial situation of TSR by the time of those reprints. Worst art of any edition (OD&D gets a pass). While it was meant to be backwards compatible, I think the differences were a bit more than that. The classes were restructured, thief skill % was completely different...

5e

Several of the campaigns go above 10 (I think in Avernus, we retired at level 12 and Rime we TPK'd at the end, but were level 11 at that point). So I'd personally cap it at 15. I think since people do play higher level, that should be supported, but a separate supplement. One that had more time...

Considering who wrote it, this phrase is pretty funny and unintentionally on point.

I was kinda tongue in cheek about my earlier post about going back to 1e. But the more I think about it, the more some of it might actually make sense. Too much gold is caused by easy access to spells like revivify and lesser restoration. Earlier editions didn't get resurrection magic until...

About time! I'm ready!
