[QUOTE="FrozenNorth, post: 8553905, member: 7020832"] Speaking for myself… I don’t think 5e does anything “to make people upset”. It’s a great edition and I love playing it. In fact, it is currently the RPG I enjoy playing the most. But it’s not perfect. And that’s OK. No game is, and no game is perfect for every playstyle. If I see something that can be improved, I’ll point out, often with suggestions for fixes. People get heated about every edition of D&D. The main reason earlier editions didn’t suffer from it as much is that the internet and posting weren’t as developed. Then, there’s the elephant in the room. 5e players and GMs are more diverse than preceding editions. In part, this is due to the exploding popularity of the game. This is a good thing, but it does mean that “one-size-fits-all” is being stretched further across different playstyles and frames of reference. When you say “demi-humans”, a new player may be more likely to picture tabaxi or dragonborn than halflings. [/QUOTE]
