UA was munchkin fodder flung out the door as a desperate cash-in.

its steamless steampunk and yes i ****ing hate it

I despise warhammer

i dont see how mind control through magic is worse than enforcing compliance through violence.

conclusion: we don't want 6E we want half a dozen variants ranging from shadowdark-esque simplicity and low power thru to epic superhero stuff the simplest half of the range need to make an effort to make dming fun, the “forever dm” is a bad thing.

No. Two 100 page booklets.

But why would you buy a new system when half a dozen pages of house rules would do the same job?

My sole interest in 6E would be “not Hasbro” for the long term benefit of the hobby.

If it had been a low level adventure, where normal town rioters would be a deadly threat, and going to the other house a no-brainer… … would it be a “railroad”? I think not. Its not the constraint of player choice thats the problem. Its the constraint of choice clashing against game world...
