But some of the issues brought up her definite resonate. I do find it harder to sit and read a rule book or adventure than I used to. I just don't have the patience and focus to grind through it all like I used to unless I'm really engaged with it. That probably isn't helped by my slowly declining vision. I can tell you that I very much appreciate the decisions made by the 5e.2024 team in making the books published so far more readable.As far as remembering rules, I don't seem to have too much trouble with that aside from keeping straight the various editions and where something might be from. I at least partly blame game editions that lurch through major rule changes. I don't really have this problem as much with Call of Cthulhu - a game that evolved in steps rather than massive jumps. But that might also be fostered by the fact that I learned CoC in my 20s when my brain was younger better at retaining info that is still highly relevant to the current edition.</blockquote>
