[QUOTE="Flights of Fancy, post: 9669357, member: 7037975"] I don't think that's a blockade at all. Lose some artwork and you have space, or add 4 more pages. I don't see why you think there is a conspiracy to keep the ranger page count down for some reason. Oh, I don't know. I've seen several ranger versions with content across the net. In my experience it is more most of that stuff doesn't fit "my idea" for ranger, and that really is the bigger issue. Well, I am glad you are lighter-hearted about it than I first thought--but even as a joke it is getting a bit stale. Of course, in my opinion there are too many spells as there are and most of them rarely, if ever, see any use. I would like to see many spells more exclusive to other classes. The saminess issues from a few years back. Well, I know a lot of people personally very disapointed with 2024 and WotC's move. I also know, as I said, many people have work and families and other hobbies, so even if they've played 5E for a few years or longer, it might be just once a month in some cases. And so, people settle. But of course I agree people complain when official material comes out that they don't like. As part of [USER=6987520]@DND_Reborn[/USER] and @ezo groups, I hear about it often LOL! Personally I try to be a bit more light-hearted about it, but I know they both get frustrated at times and have spent hundreds of hours working on homebrew. But it comes down to time. We either "get to play" or we "get to playTEST". We don't have time for both. Since playtesting isn't playing, we just play 90% of the time. As far as playing in a preferable way... that also comes down to preferences. Another issue we face is on a semi-regular basis we bring in new players, and instead of forcing homebrew on them again and again, we play very close to RAW, with less than a page of house-rules.
