[QUOTE="Warpiglet-7, post: 8108871, member: 7025282"] Just wait. It will be a thorn in the side of a lot of DMs who will get hassled for being too restrictive. I am also concerned about archetypes and a common language getting dismantled. when we say ‘dwarf’ it carries some baggage we all know an understand. why not just get away from a class based system too? These changes might not make a bad game but I cannot see it as furthering any shared fiction. at this point are we even allowed to think dwarves are tough? Does that stereotype too much for some people’s comfort? it won’t ruin my fun. I have good friends I game with. We played a little redbox in grade school together, AD&D in high school through 2000 and are now professionals with kids. I don’t think we are going to dump the D&D legacy. I am worried about the health of the brand. We hear it all the time. What separates D&D from all the imitators? It’s more than an ampersand. For now. hell I might buy the book! I just think the rationale presented in the video is disingenuous and the effect on the game subpar. I think the changes are driven by a zeitgeist and not the brand and it’s place. We will see. I think playing against type is officially done. will I be tempted to use some Of this. Maybe. But I think it goes to and comes from a different place than is presented here. [/QUOTE]
