[QUOTE="SableWyvern, post: 9259232, member: 1008"] Do RPGs need to modernise: No. Plenty of games from every decade since (and including) the 70s have always, and will always, be great games just as they are, in the hands of the the right group. Those games don't need to change. Is it great if new things come out, providing a greater range of options for a greater range of personal preferences: Of course. The list from the video appears to be list of personal preferences more than a list of objective improvements and, as others have mentioned, there are plenty of recent games that don't align at all with the list. Additionally, I find it amusingly jarring that Catan is front and centre in the video still image, and then we get points 4 and 5 about minimising the effects of luck. It seems to me that most of the OP's thoughts on applying the list to TTRPGs are really about applying the list to certain editions of D&D. [/QUOTE]
