[QUOTE="Scribe, post: 8931523, member: 6807152"] Its not just the setting, though I suppose it contributes. Its about the tone, the style, the 'feel'. Admittedly, its not an easy thing to define, or I just am not able to express it well. Regardless, my suspicions are reinforced, the more I see/read/hear, and this is fine. Right, exactly why the 5e apology edition made pains to go back and look like D&D traditionally has, and only after the more recent explosive growth, have they made small changes over time to not alienate the very group they sought to bring back. Its the Alignment thing in a nutshell. "We have removed Alignment." and a certain segment cheered. "We heard you wanted it back, so its back in Fizbans." Because a DIFFERENT segment, wants it there. This is the issue to me, there is no vision. No clear goal. Its 'how do we appeal to as many as we can, without going to far and pissing off segment X, Y, or Z'. Its a boiling frog at this point though, and I am quite sure that I want out. The playerbase is not a monolith. No individual segment is either. They cannot satisfy everyone, and their design/art/direction, is not interesting to me. Thats totally fine, but when I see statements like what Brink makes, it doesnt alarm me, because I already figured it was the case, have for years! Its simply reinforcing what I already assumed.
