Even though I do feel somewhat slighted as someone who has supported D&D for 40 years, I've accepted it and really don't care anymore. After the I buy and read the revisions, I may buy some other books in the future, I may not, who knows. If I do, I will judge them on their merit within the current iteration of the game rather than comparing them to what has come before. Last night after we finished a session of Mothership, one of the players said he wanted to play something else in the not-too-distant future. I could tell where he was going with and I said, "Like D&D 5E" and he said "Yeah". I immediately told them no thanks; I'm not interest in playing 5E 2014, but I would be open to buying and reading the 2024 revision and giving that a try. The conversation then turned to, from what I could gather the player characters are more over-powered now, and aimed at newer players and DMs, and just modern game design leans towards a more player friendly experience than in editions past.  I mentioned how we are no longer WotC target audience, and the other person replied, "You guys had your editions, it's time for the younger generation to have theirs", I don't think he's wrong. There's other fantasy RPGs we can play.</p></blockquote><p></p>
