Yes. Inflation is affecting all industries. The printing industry has been under pressure for years due to closures and the pandemic (there’s no shortage of stories about that). There’s ample reason to believe the inflation reason. What reason do you have to doubt it, other than your intense...

Companies are allowed to raise their prices before reaching the point where they are actively losing money on each sale. In fact, it would be irresponsible of them to do otherwise.

You’d rather sacrifice an entire company than accept less initial product? Even though the survival of the company may have resulted in years more production (not to mention actually keeping the people who made the books you love so much employed)? With an attitude like that, I find myself glad...

Exactly. I’m not sure why anyone would expect a company to have to specify that their market research only applies to the actual current market. Or that when they refer to their product they only mean the current version. That’s just common sense, isn’t it?

Yeah, I started when I was 11 in 1982. Boomers were my parents. Throughout my entire teen years, I don’t think I ran into one adult who played. Not saying they didn’t exist, but by far the majority of us in game stores were teens (that I ever saw).

I guarantee you no one is disputing that…

I have to admit, that's a really nice thing about EN Publishing's Kickstarters. They deliver pdfs practically as soon as the Kickstarter ends. I've never had any regrets backing any of their works.

That's the way I operate a lot of times. I have backed projects earlier in their process, but only with companies I've dealt with successfully before. I generally prefer to back projects that are almost finalized, partly because I don't like waiting a year for completion. I try not to buy...

I'm sincerely sorry you're feeling neglected. I can see why that probably sucks. But suggesting it's because of some game-wide plan to alienate older players is a weird way to explain it. Isn't it more reasonable (considering the pushback your theory is getting), that it just has more to do...

Other than the fact that you individually are not happy, and are (apparently) old, where is the correlation?

I don't doubt some of our age bracket aren't happy. I'm also very sure there are some younger players not happy. I have seen zero evidence that our age group is being unfairly excluded, outside some posters who coincidentally are not happy and are older. Every time the question of how they...

Yes, exactly. But that's why it's strange you're complaining that our age group is being ignored based on the current content. You might be feeling ignored, but it's definitely not an across the board age group thing. It's about your preference, not your age.

Is it unfathomable that some older players don't feel neglected by the current content?

I don't think people are trying to silence dissent. There's been a ton of (healthy, I think) dissent in the play test topics for example. It's more the rote responses that keep coming up along the lines of "The latest 5e stuff sucks, and I'm not going to buy it anyway" in every topic. That...

I was just thinking the same thing. The colour choices on the GM core are very nice.

No, I was trying to understand what you were getting out of it. You are welcome to negative feelings! But it's the constant need to remind us all of your negative feelings (and how you are not participating in this version) in every single thread that's a little perplexing. Your explanation...

So, because you can't find anyone who wants to talk about the version you like, you console yourself with complaining about the version you don't? How is that at all satisfying for you?

Of all the reasons I might choose to not play a system, I don’t think the units of measurement would even crack the top ten. Twenty, even.

Well, drat. I didn’t know his name, but by god do I remember his work from when I was a kid.

Well, now I’m totally confused…I thought the whole original complaint was that because of longbow ranges, extreme range fights ended up with 3 or 4 rounds or arrows before the melee people can get their turn. This was apparently a bad thing (which led to lots of suggestions on how to mitigate...
