    ...my interpretation may deviate from more-common derogatory usage, but i've always read fantasy heartbreaker as an intensely-personal creative endeavor which simultaneously shines brilliantly and fails to land on account of the narrow vision driving its creation; its lost potential breaks both...

    ...that's exactly how we played in the early eighties: B/X, AD+D, dragon magazine, judges guild, whatever all mixed together freely with nobody batting an eye; the modern 5e third-party landscape feels very much cut from similar cloth... ...my current 5e campaign is going to round-robin...
