The top 20% of students will always get the critical thinking. They take the honors classes and the advanced classes in what ever form your country has them (AP, IB, I think A levels in Britain). The other 80% are taught to succeed on a test because that is a measure of institution success...

AI is just a tool. Its Useful. Nothing is stopping that tide right now.

D&D is far from medieval now unfortunatley. It can do steam punk as well as anything else. Just look at the new art the only thing medieval about it is that they use swords.

Noooooo!

Elven names are not WordWord. They are Celestialword Natureword

Ugh I wish I could get my group together bi weekly. My daughter gets bi weekly with the wonderful librarian at our public library. She would get it EVERY week, but the response was so high she had to split the group into Teens and Elementary/middleschoolers.

I bought the Environment guides because I REALLY like adding environmental concerns. But I didn't buy any race books, or Weapons books. I lost touch with the last 2 years of releases but I wish I got the full Monster Manual Line.

I disagree with this. I have bought tons of books, even whole lines of game expansions I never intended to play. Numenera is really interesting. But I bought it pre release at Gencon with Cooke signing it. But its BEAUTIFUL. I bought SOulbound from C7 knowing I would NEVER play it. Again...

Yeah innovation is generally great. But 4e I rejected whole heartedly and it indeed was innovative. Pathfinder 2 is innovative but it is to far away from the AD&D/D20 paradigm for me to enjoy.

5th edition is a really good system. The 5.5 forgotten realms may be good because Ed Greenwood is writing it.

Sometimes vision just isn't functional. I'd rather have the functional.

2nd Edition came out ONLY because they needed to cut Gygax out. That sped it along. It is my favorite edition so I am no disparaging it. Gygax talked about a 2nd edition but TSR went full throttle when the board got rid of him.

Deleted. Stupid Point.

I have checked out alot of the games on Itch. Some are games, but some are just like social exercises I get at annoying Education Development conferences.

Oh Totally! I am way more interested in the final product.

You're also saying that D&D 2025 is innovative. How can you think that is innovative and 5e was not. For me I love that 5e went back to the earlier design sensibilities. 5.5 though didn't really do anything modern except make photorealistic art. I don't see the improvement in 5.5 except for...

Exodus is going to be fantastic at least because the original Mass Effect Developers are behind the Exodus Video game. I'm looking forward to Exodus the Video Games and hopefully they pull off this TTRPG. If its good, it could shake me from Traveller for awhile. The only sci fi game able to...

The three 2025 Books? Other than the Layout and lessons in the DM Guide I don't see any innovation, I see change for change sake and maybe chasing a different audience. Bastions is an innovation. MCDM did it better years ago. Theres nothing innovative about it. The Pathfinder Campaign Guide...

In this case with WOTC the OP point stands. The designers are limited by corporate.

I never distinguished it or thought about it really. I just see it as an analogy. I'm not easily offended though, by things like this. For me personally it's not a big deal.
