Message: <blockquote data-quote="Retreater" data-source="post: 9537969" data-attributes="member: 42040">Let's see...I'm not playing D&D currently. I'm out of the loop regarding the 2024 revision. That's okay, but it means I'm disconnected from the biggest game in the world with the most coverage and largest community. On here, I don't even have much to talk about. So I'm feeling disconnected from the hobby. I am playing PF2, but I haven't been excited about the remaster. I haven't purchased Player Core 2 or the Bestiary. I'm not running a game, so I'm not motivated to purchase APs, monster books, or anything. Even my character in the one game I am playing is not being remastered, so there's no point in buying anything else Paizo makes for the foreseeable future. I am a player in a Call of Cthulhu game. There's nothing to buy, nothing to engage with. I use Foundry and like it. I'm not excited about using Maps or Project Sigil. There's no point to use DND Beyond (because I'm not playing D&D). I have backed two big Kickstarters (DC 20 and Draw Steel) that have gotten less interesting with every development - and I'm fairly certain that when they arrive I'll open them, flip through them once, and then let them sit on the shelves. The main theme of my feelings is that I'm ... directionless. I don't feel like there's a single community that I can engage with. I don't really like any of the games I'm running or playing. There isn't a "standard" anymore. I feel like the Roman Empire has collapsed and there are just these tiny baronies scattered across Europe, completely disconnected from each other. Even D&D (as it was) is dead. 5E (2014) is no longer the main game. 2024 isn't fully supported yet. It's a strange period of interregnum. I've tried using Level Up to run my 5E games (when I do run them), but I keep having issues, whether I'm running adventures from Sly Flourish or MCDM. (Things like certain spells not existing in Level Up forces me to dig my 5E books out of storage mid-game.) Everything is just ... a mess. And it will continue to be because we have these half-a$$ed editions (PF2 Remaster, C&C Reforged, D&D 2024) that aren't completely compatible with the previous edition, but not everything is being updated, and we don't have cleanly presented adventures and supplements.</blockquote>
