Replace concentration with hard to obtain material components! Bring back bat guano!!

The last time they tried, it got called the "Trannay of Fun." (Or WOTC trying to force a playstyle on us) So I imagine WOTC is hesitant to try again.

Why not recruit from Enworld? Aren't we the greatest collection of D&D players to ever assemble on the internet???

It's a lot easier to make a specific rule than it is to explain and teach the art of making rulings.

Another fine group, or more accurately a federation, is Games on Demand! At over a dozen different cons across the world! I'm a proud member! Also, the Maid RPG is one exception to the don't create characters for the session recommendation. I can walk everyone through the process in ten to...

The battle between Law and Choas reigns eternally over us all...

Liberate D&D from the mega Corp controlling it so it can be returned to where it belongs; in the hands of the players! Viva la resistance!!!

How about "D&D is like Dark Souls in many way. It is difficult and demanding. If you don't want a Dark Souls like experience, try a different TTRPG."

I thought Gygax did all sorts of things to balance the game? Have different exp requirements for classes so weaker classes would level faster. Have the random treasure tables spit out magic weapons that favor Fighters more often. Put all sorts of barriers and difficulties on casters to balance...

Then go try 4E. That's plenty different!!!

Isn't the most important thing having people who want to keep using the 2014 rules? Maybe form a secret society???

There's one group of people I should mention. People who can't find a good DM. If people don't want rules to control how the game works, then it'll all be up to DM judgement to make the game work. So naturally a good DM is the most important factor in your D&D game. If you can't find a good...

1. My group doesn't play 5E. One of the members doesn't like 5E cause its way too light for his taste. 2. Hasbro is a mega Corp, which is bad. 3. I played a good deal D&D already and now want to explore new ideas and games.

Even if they find D&D too gamist for their liking? Becoming a player instead of a DM shouldn't change that desire???

Then D&D isn't for them??

So if a DM can't do that, they shouldn't run D&D? That makes sense. Half the time I see people complain about something, they also refuse to just fix it themselves. PCs too powerful? Just throw more monsters? Rules to gamist? Just replace them with more simulation type ones. Dont like non...

If D&D can't be all things to all people, then that means some people are better off not playing D&D. This thread seeks to identify people who shouldn't play D&D. If you believe that D&D should be for everyone, I already have a thread for that. You can go check it out...

This is a thread dedicated to making sure everyone can play D&D. Here we can brainstorm how to remove barriers or other factors that prevent people from playing D&D. How can support people so that they can join the D&D world?

So just give the players a pause sign they can use during a session. Whenever someone raises it, you pause the game and explain why you made a ruling in a particular fashion.

And people wonder why the Mercer Effect is a thing???
