There is a viable way to keep the restrictions and allowances within in certain settings while not breaking the current game mechanics. We do it all the time, I've run many 5e GH games and it totally works. Heck there are whole communities and tons of content that do just that. 5e D&D but in...

Well 1st edition flavor, totally, yeah I'd want this. I'd want select mechanics applied, such as new stat blocks, travel rules, etc... while leaving the creative content (races, geo-politics, deities, notable characters, etc...) true to the 83 vision. Because it's fun to talk about d&d and...

What I'd personally would enjoy is a recap of GH based mostly around the 1983 version and some 5e mechanical tables/charts/character stat blocks in 5e. I'd want all the characters, races feel and flavor exactly as it was before, not updated for "younger/modern" or whatever you want to call it...

"we" as in our group of adult gaming friends. Not "we" as in all gen-x people... or whatever.

You are so far out of line, it's beyond insulting in that mildly annoying but not really a big deal kind of way, but I will respond anyway. I stand by my post, no issues there and I never complained about "women of color", that's all you. I'm pretty sure you want me to be some kind of...

So, in the US, it's between 60-71% "white" depending on census and specifics. So out of 5 characters at least 2-3 should be white by your standards. I personally have no interest in over or under representing people, and don't believe we always need to strictly follow US centric populous...

Oh man... why is it uncomfortable? Not every thing needs to show everybody and if you are doing US demos, and I don't think that should matter but the majority would be white. And I don't even see them as "all white", they are left a bit ambiguous, which is nice. And, yes a white male being...

I prefer this cover to the main one, which I really dislike... a lot.

When we run the "kids" games, or when they run their own we do not apply our "rules" to them. The kids can play pretty much whatever races/classes they want, or we pick settings that fits better. Like we did an old school Spelljammer full on campaign so the kids could pick more funky races. We...

To each their own, I’ve enjoyed the Greyhawk setting for decades. I’ve also found an abundance of great content, old and new, so not “craptastic” for me. I’m guessing I’m not alone in enjoying the Greyhawk setting.

We are genX, and we have introduced our kids to d&d, they now play in certain campaigns with the adults. And, they now run and play in their own games with their gaming friends. We have and continue to do our part to pass on the "love the game" despite the absolutely hostile environment of the...

That was one small personal experience I decide to share, not cool to lock onto it and ignore the rest of what we've been saying. About GH, not every setting, needs every thing. And especially not carbon copies... that sounds super boring. I'd much prefer settings were things are actually...

Actually we are a very SW light household. His experiences are much more from friends and available media influences. And again it just one tiny experience. I probably should not have even shared it since of course it will be twisted into something it is not.

I said it was an extremely small example. It's just one tiny lived experience I shared. You didn't get that part? It was a little example you could use to understand the larger context.

Yes I believe there is an active "misguided" agenda to alienate previous fans. The theory was they are not needed, and the "new" fans will be enough to support us. But what has happened is that is not the case, and it has even alienated potential new fans. Extremely small anecdotal example...

It's not a coincidence. It's happening across a lot of current pop media. It is absolutely a current trend. It won't last forever and things go in cycles. There have been many trends and directions in pop media over the decades. This is a current one, without question. The alienation of previous...

I do believe there is an internal mission statement, or at least a top tier bullet point sitting on a presentation. Kind of like the "destroy d&d beyond" quote.

I have read, experienced and seen enough over the last 3-4 years to make this theory viable, at least for me. I don't need anyone to ultimately agree or disagree, but it is my observation and experience.

Actually they do and are... literally a version of just that. It didn't start like that but it has evolved actively into this as a mission statement. If you compare the 2014 5e vs 2024 5e strategic alignment, you will see just that. It's been a paradigm shift that has accelerated over the last...

I like this image/art a lot more than the phb cover, which I really don't enjoy. This would be a better cover actually.
