[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 9591842, member: 11"] I will also say that despite kinda not always being on board with the changes and ideas [USER=697]@mearls[/USER] has been showing on his patreon (I am a supporter) for 5E and his Odyssey version (though I've basically stolen his alignment language for my home table), I would 1000% percent play in either of those games with Mearls running them - because with the right GM, the rules don't matter [I]as much[/I] (not sure what he'd say about that, because I know it is hard to build design principles around that idea beyond "rulings not rules"). I have played in one-shot games run by Mearls twice (neither of which were D&D, both from before he worked at WoTC) and had some of the best times playing (though the other players at the table also helped). This is weird, because I also obviously think the rules matter or else I would not kitbash and homebrew as much as I do. [/QUOTE]
