Message: <blockquote data-quote="James Gasik" data-source="post: 8573423" data-attributes="member: 6877472">5e has become a melting pot of older and newer gamers.  The older crowd love to share tales of the old days, and delight when the games they played are referred to in new content, it's almost like validation when people get excited about Spelljammer and Dragonlance.  Will Planescape be next!  Birthright?  HOLLOW WORLD!?!But...a lot of what made these settings great is firmly rooted in an older era of gaming.  Things have changed, and a direct 5e port isn't a great idea (my experiences with Tales from the Yawning Portal showed me this).  So stuff has to change, but how much can you change and have it still feel like the thing it was?Nobody likes the idea of seeing the thing that they love twisted out of shape.  What we have here is old players thinking updating a setting for new sensibilities is a bridge too far, and new players thinking changing the current game to reflect an old setting is also a bridge too far.And as I've said several times, I have no faith in WotC as a company to make a competent compromise.  Maybe when we have a campaign setting that's more than a coastline on a planet several times bigger than Earth...</blockquote>
