Presumably it's also healthier to let go of confronting said complainers in every thread too?

Of course, it only makes sense; it's certainly not Stockholm Syndrome!

1) Are they present moreso than other versions of the game? I don't know. My instinct says that's probably true, but I haven't done a deep dive analysis to see. The fact that the 4e structure made a pretty accessible and popular board game series warns me to to just accept my above instinct...

I mean, the whole thread has just been the trading of assertions.

Sigh. Yes, of course "some." Yeesh! When I wrote "people", I was referring to the people that (at least seemed to be) the ones that @doctorbadwolf thought found it "hard to believe that most players find 5e easier to just sit down and play than nearly any other edition."

No. I doubt anyone is finding that hard to believe, especially with the "nearly" qualifier in there. But the question asked was: Is there something special about 5E that created this moment (of intense popularity)? And people just look at all the other factors and think that no, it wasn't the...

Yeah Maptool has that function.

Definitely something to hope for! Wishing you all the luck!

!!!! If you are ever looking for a player...!

Yo, check the title of the thread. He's responding accordingly.

Are there plans to make Bestiary 2, Eyes of the Stone Thief, etc. available?

Coincidence is funny; I just was going over the Skill Challenge section in 4e DMG2 and they seem to have realized they didn't mention group checks in the original material because they mention them a lot in the advice.

I just went back and read what I wrote. I made an observation for which I have experience, and in no way did I present as "unquestionably correct because you’re a teacher." Mentioning the teacher experience means I am coming to this with a greater set of data then "a few kids I know who play."...

So will this not be compatible with AiME?

Super excited, though in our group after years of play we found that it was the monk that was a bit weak and the fighter that shone!

So...it's true I am not immune to bias. No one is. Except...you? Because that's how your reply is coming off. That's the arrogance, and if that's how you're going to speak to me, kindly add me to your ignore list, please and thank you. For everyone else talking about 6 and 8 year olds...

Well, lots of people make the argument that D&D is good for every genre, and not just "a specific slice of the fantasy genre." If that claim is true, then the tweet writer has a point, no?

"Probably" huh? Basing that on...? Kinda arrogant of you, considering you don't know me, yeah? I have been teaching for over 25 years...I feel I am probably not underestimating. I feel I am making an evaluation based on my experience.

It's helpful, though; if people really believe the ceiling of complexity for a game should be what an 8 year old can understand, then I know we have virtually nothing in common as far as gaming is concerned, and it saves arguments. I admit it's weird to say that's why the game is so popular...

At this point, it's quite possible you are not being read, yes. 🤷‍♂️
