I wish D&D 5e was better than it is because some of the folks in my group tend to default to that game by instinct. It has a gravity to it due to its position in the market and historically. I run other games for my home group. When one of them GMs, they somehow think it’s easier to run 5e than it is to run a different game. So I wind up having to play 5e.So I wish it was designed better. I wish they had looked to other games rather than just the sacred cows of past editions for inspiration. I wish that the game actually evolved a bit. I don’t think that listening to the fans is all that good of an idea when it comes to design decisions. I think what happens is you wind up with a game that just manages to not piss off the most people. It doesn’t really wow anyone, it’s not appealing so much as it just manages to not be unappealing. There are numerous ones that are D&D, too! Filled with all the sacred cows that everyone seems to think are necessary! And I’m sure that 15 years ago the same comment was made to critics of 4e by its fans. Which I’m sure went over well!</blockquote>
