This is a very underrated comment!

Oh those are GREAT house rules - Natural cap at 18 and no ASI's outside of feats! Will definitely be using introducing that for secondary characters into the campaign.

Apparently their goals and your opinion are the same on this.

Why, in your opinion, was this seen as a good design (by the designers)?

Just for you to note in case you were thinking of migrating from from 1e/2e to 3e for a 20th level party sees a HUGE increase in GM prep-time usually. This cannot be overstated.

Why, in your opinion, are they objects for mass slaughter?

Bottom line is you know your players well enough that you would be considerate not to use something that could possibly upset them. I mean I do not care much for X-cards because I play with mates (currently all guys) and the level of humour that runs at our table is not the humour you would find...

I'm including things to cover everyone. ;) The point with these tools and dials is to pick and choose to cater for your table's preferences. Yes agree. I like that! It has been a long time (90's) since I tried a whimsy campaign where each character had a flaw.

I feel that is a different conversation similar with my reply @Scribe. If they can not do it right or have a history of market spin that is not the same as asking me what I want for 6e as opposed to what is realistic.

And did they inform us that this modularity discussed early was NOT gonna happen? George Carlin would include this in his Advertising set. Yes. True. That is a separate conversation though. We are asked what we would like in 6e not what WotC are good or terrible at - because if that were the...

Do you feel 5e failed in this? And if yes how? Since they did not create a modular game.

Disagree. Besides death there are a number of loss conditions to be explored...fictional and mechanical. There is an entire line on DMsGuild which is perfect for post TPK scenario - Doomed Realms. In fact I've used it as a precognitive element (via an ever changing map of the future) should...

What's your reason for this?

5e was advertised as having options that are modular. Maybe I'm over speaking but what you're witnessing, I believe, is much of that. I think the modular design space for 5e is largely unexplored and there were plenty of ideas from earlier editions that could use a polish.

I have to admit I find your D&D experience bizarre. And to be clear I'm not blaming you, it is just not what I would expect - even with strangers or hobby friends.

I think it is important to remember that mistakes do get made and hopefully the groups/GMs learn from them and handle things better in the future. I'm not the same GM I was 30 years ago, 20 years ago even 5 years ago. You can offer advice and encouragement so that the group/GM handle a similar...

Possibly. I suspect the older generation who are more experienced with loss are likely able to deal with it better. 51 year old, been playing all his life, 15+ years with me, we have a larger friend circle 49 year old, been playing all his life, 25+ years with me, we have a larger friend circle...

4e the gift that keeps on giving. :ROFLMAO:

As a gamist and a person who enjoys some grittiness I feel a True TPK (as you define it) should be an available option on the table but like @pemerton I do not believe it indicates an end of a campaign. As a fan of the players and their characters I will likely exhaust other possible loss...

People can discuss and appreciate The Cosby show without discussing Bill Cosby IRL. People can listen and appreciate the music of MJ without needing to go into the scandals (real or not) that surrounded him. People can read and appreciate the Green Lantern comics of Gerard Jones without needing...
