I do not. I simply want what is best for D&D. And we all know the quality of the players is the biggest factor in how well a D&D game does. And what produces quality players better then Gygaxian Naturalism??

Sorry but I believe that D&D should purge the weak from its ranks. If you lack sufficient tactics/system matery/fictional positioning then you deserve negative outcomes in your D&D game.

The obvious best comparison is to the Golden Girls

Do you think D&D can accommodate the both of you? If not, which one of you should be catered to and which one should be ignored??

So monsters were designed around four member parties; so your 13th level party was more like a 15th level party. And if your players were good at system optimization/tactical play, they're more like an 18th level party. And if they had a good amount of magic items on them, they would be more...

How many PCs are we designing for? A three person party is very different from a six person party.

Indeed. Which is why I advocate that Enworld should rule D&D instead of WOTC.

Can we have a fight against a dozen T-Rexes? I want a fight against a dozen T-Rexes.

D&D isn't Musk's game to conquer.

Who needs rituals when you got circle casting?? https://www.enworld.org/threads/circle-casting-is-gonna-break-a-lot-of-games.716050/

Want a fixed version of 5E? Go buy Level Up. Available on this very website!

but 5E is based off attrition?!? so if that barely works, then D&D barely works!?! oh well, good things most players couldn't care less about rules and how they work.

They don't ruin the game, they provide the D&D feeling that is so vital. If a player saved their control spell until the super dangerous monster showed up, then they deserve the chance to shut it down in one action. If a DM isn't wearing down a party through attrition, then they deserve to...

If I didn't want control spells to "ruin" the game, I'd go play 4th Edition!

For example... https://www.enworld.org/threads/why-enworld-should-liberate-d-d-from-hasbro.715803/

Most of the time, you're better off going off site to get food. Checking out new venues can be an adventure in it's own right!

If you don't want a single control spell to end an encounter, just give your boss monster an army of underlings to accompany them during the boss fight!

Did we mention Pioneer yet?? I might have missed it browsing through this thread? I assume having someone with NASA experience write your space TTRPG qualifies it as simulationist?? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mongoosepublishing/the-pioneer-rpg-explore-the-solar-system "Pioneer was...

I have to disagree with the premise of this thread because I'm firmly in the camp that Gygaxian Naturalism will produce the strongest community in the long term. https://www.enworld.org/threads/edition-wars-are-good-for-enworld.699118/
