[QUOTE="VanguardHero, post: 8416955, member: 7030089"] I wanna note that like. Light narrative games are great. Jank games can be really fun. 5e being a badly designed system by the most well known TTRPG brand in the world is, in a vacuum, disappointing but whatever. My vitriol comes from the horrifying regressive culture of WotC, their treatment of LGBTQ employees as diversity hires, blatant rainbow capitalism, and that they would rather PRETEND to fire the guy who brought on, enabled, and protected a serial sexual abuser to design 5e rather than actually fire him. [I]That[/I] company as the monolith of the industry is why I hate 5e so deeply, the design problems are just salt in the wound. It's not just like, "Play a real game" gatekeeping or Edition Wars or anything like that. Which is also why I am so, so thankful to have a perfect compromise between "I only want to play 5e" and "I refuse to play 5e" in Level Up :D [/QUOTE]
