The Inspiration mechanics are pretty thin, and from what I’ve seen, easily ignored by many groups. But their presence, and the idea of TBIF is promising. I also think that the game is very modifiable, and that design will hell expose more people to different techniques. Ideas are ported fromother games into the 5E system all the time, and the DMsGuild helps make sure there’s an easily accesible place to see that kind of stuff.But there are always folks who won’t even consider such ideas, or won’t be exposed to them because they’re uninterested in changing their game. Which is fine. But I do find it odd how many seem to want to be involved in discussions about varieties of techniques, but all they do is insist on their method. The tricks in poker effect, as you called it. Like someone jumping into a conversation about sports, and then only talking about baseball. The mention of a touchdown by someone else seems baffling.And interesting how your players are open to player driven play in one system, but resistant to it in another. Obviously the established mechanics play a bi part in that, but I wonder if it’s equally about perception or expectation.</blockquote>
