So will this not be compatible with AiME?

Super excited, though in our group after years of play we found that it was the monk that was a bit weak and the fighter that shone!

So...it's true I am not immune to bias. No one is. Except...you? Because that's how your reply is coming off. That's the arrogance, and if that's how you're going to speak to me, kindly add me to your ignore list, please and thank you. For everyone else talking about 6 and 8 year olds...

Well, lots of people make the argument that D&D is good for every genre, and not just "a specific slice of the fantasy genre." If that claim is true, then the tweet writer has a point, no?

"Probably" huh? Basing that on...? Kinda arrogant of you, considering you don't know me, yeah? I have been teaching for over 25 years...I feel I am probably not underestimating. I feel I am making an evaluation based on my experience.

It's helpful, though; if people really believe the ceiling of complexity for a game should be what an 8 year old can understand, then I know we have virtually nothing in common as far as gaming is concerned, and it saves arguments. I admit it's weird to say that's why the game is so popular...

At this point, it's quite possible you are not being read, yes. 🤷‍♂️

Don't even. Your contribution to any thread is always just "Here's what I like!"

Nope.

I don't think this point has anything to do with 4e.

No. Specificity gives me a reference point for when I might want to change things. Been playing a long time now, mostly as a DM, and I have never found specificity to make things more difficult for me.

Specificity means people come to the game table with the same expectations about how the particular rule works. Hard to see that as overrated, honestly. More importantly though, "Asking the DM" is still there as an option, even with specificity. It's a false dichotomy to say "Asking your DM...

There are no "dead levels" but there are definitely some "on life-support" levels.

I think this is a key point...a lot of what makes the game work comes from the community (in the face of ambiguous rules or absence of them), and not from the rules-set that people purchase.

We have a custom framework in Maptool for our 13th Age game. Works well, but BOY does Foundry look good.

If I may, there are definitely some people who disliked TLJ and it had nothing to do with MarySue-ism (I hate the term), the so-called "assassination" of Luke's character (as though people don't change after trauma and even just from getting older!), etc. There are plenty of...

I understand the point, but...hadn't it already been made countless times in the Clone Wars series? Maybe the scene was for people who only saw the movies?

No, I don't believe so. It's an easy-to-learn edition (compared to most others, I suppose), but I don't think the rules-set that people buy created the moment; the "moment" is a result of a lot of outside forces.

DMG2 for 4e did a great job in Skill Challenge advice, IMO.

I think it's a mistake to assume that the time spent on something other than Spelljammer would be spent on something you'd like. There's no reason to assume that.
