Yes, and you said : "...explicitly tells people to use bare minimum 5 encounters a day,..." it doesn't do that so I asked your were it does. Also note it says: "...most adventuring parties can handle about six to eight medium or hard encounters in a day." Implying you could have fewer deadly...

Were does it say that. Here is the part about the adventuring day and I don't see anything about 5/day. The Adventuring Day Assuming typical adventuring conditions and average luck, most adventuring parties can handle about six to eight medium or hard encounters in a day. If the adventure has...

OK, you quoted me so I assumed you were talking about me!

For something as big as D&D that is next to impossible unless you make it much smaller. The corebooks are 1,152 pages with about a 1/1 art to page ratio. I don't know how quickly these artist works (+ revision process), but your likely looking at 2+ years of work.

Good definition and fits with my understanding. I can't speak for others, but I never said D&D is inherently unfit for metacurrency. It is just something I don't want in D&D. I am fine with that been more important in other game systems.

It is not that it isn't appropriate for D&D it isn't what I want in D&D. So if you are asking what I want in a 6e, then metacurrency is not going to be a part of it. Can metacurrency be a part of it - sure, but that is not something I want in the core game. I want the core game to fun and...

I'm not Ruin, but they responded to my post on the subject, so...I don't consider spell slots metacurrency. They are, IMM, a simple game mechanic to describe how magic works.

I think that is hard because "best" is subjective. However, I would say the original i-phone was intended to be the best phone and also commercially successful (which it was). Maybe similar with the first 2 generations of Chrysler/Dodge minivan. Architects (my profession) are often struggling to...

Metacurrency is not my thing either. I can see it being a part of D&D, but I prefer it as an option or variant. The core rules should work without any metacurrency IMO

We could, but what would be the point. I am not trying to defend Hasbro (never have) so it best to just drop it. Besides, no good thread can escape some tangents.

That was my memory as well, but I wasn't sure so I didn't add that bit

I agree, I don't think you need to do anything to 5e to make it modular other make the specific modules. The fact that many people are still unaware of all of the variants and options in the 5e14 DMG makes it clear there is not the market for it hardcore gamers would like. I am guessing that is...

I guess I just think your being dishonest or misremembering (I could be too). I think you are putting a lot more importance and specificity to an idea than was ever discussed. I also think it a bit ridiculous to expect anyone, and particularly an overworked design team, to explain every twist...

Well the never informed us it was gonna happen or even what exactly that meant to them. It was discussed in some blog posts, that was it. Did they discuss moving away from that idea. IDK. However, it never made it into any of the playtest documents and that is where I would expect them to show...

You could also have Hasbro sell the game to someone else.

I think that would be dishonest because they did not ever intend for it to be a modular design. It was a discussion and a hope at one point, but that is it. It never got to be an intention when they did the serious work of design IMO. It was never a part of any of the playtest packets. That is...

I was just poking-some-fun, thus the winking emoji.

I agree with your goal, but I think you can achieve and still have proficiency. You probably need tiers of proficiency, but it would be easy to do IMO.

Same. I have thought about doing something like this sever times and always come to the same conclusion.

I agree, but i think it should be 5.2e ;)
