[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8975665, member: 7023840"] Look, I get that this is "your thing." Moping about D&D, complaining that no matter what is said, OneD&D will never be 5e (even though you've complained about being tired of the base 5e options before). But this is just special pleading. "[I]Why isn't exactly what I want the thing that WoTC is making??!!!??[/I]" If life was fair, and I was king of us all, then OneD&D would be the best and most Bard-less edition ever set in Greyhawk. But guess what? It won't be. Right now we are living in a golden time. It is easier than ever to find like-minded people and play with them on-line. There are innumerable resources at your fingertips that you can use to play any prior edition, or all sorts of other TTRPGs. There are thousands (THOUSANDS!) of indie games for you to try. If you want to go back to some halcyon golden age, well, there is a ton of intellectuals pushing forth with OSR and West Marches styles as well. The overall player base for TTRPGs is bigger than it has ever been. If you don't want to embrace what the majority of people are doing, there has never been a better time to do your own thing- which means that we can all be happy and charitable to the people that are coming up now and enjoying the games that we enjoyed, and, moreover, we should appreciate that this is [I]their thing now too[/I], and they get to play the things they like. Be kind, rewind, etc. [/QUOTE]
