[QUOTE="TheSword, post: 9575546, member: 6879661"] I must say I’m confused about the take. Firstly - and I don’t think this can be overstated - guys in their mid to late forties are not in a position to say whether anything is cool or not in society. And that’s me speaking as a guy in my mid forties. Secondly. Have I been asleep or did we not just see a well received D&D movie (90+ Rotten Tomato’s for critics and audience). What about the AAA CRPG that is unashamedly and successfully D&D. What about Massive 2024 books sales. All in the last 2 years. Post OGL. I feel like people don’t appreciate backwards compatibility (and not the Pathfinder backwards compatibility that didn’t really work) Every time someone releases a 5e product it is also supporting 2024. Even adjacent systems with have stuff to pinch. I just bought Dungeons of Drakkenheim to run with 2024. As written. No adjustment, or rather no more than I would adjust any pre-written adventure. All that said. In truth cool is dependent on the circle you move in. It’s not a good word to describe success, popularity, or how good something is. It’s a word tied up with social status and I’m afraid to say that amongst some circles at the moment it’s cool to be anti-WotC/D&D 2024. I don’t really understand it to be honest. It seems the very essence of ‘biting the hand that feeds you.’ Now if you want to see something really Cool - as in keeping your… - see the skill in WFRP 4e which represents your ability to concentrate under fire, resist the horrors of the warhammer world and mental corruption. 😜 [/QUOTE]
