It's great that there are other games and third party options out there for people that get tired of DnD but I still haven't gotten there with 5e, something I couldn't say about some older versions.  What I personally like about DnD is the balance of rules and freeform play that's easy to get into and isn't overly cumbersome.  It's not perfect but I have no problem finding plenty of people who enjoy the game just as much as I do.  To me that's all that really matters that I can play a game and find plenty of people that enjoy playing so I don't pay much attention to the naysayers most of the time.  Unfortunately negativity gets more eyeballs than positivity so just like the news cycle focuses on the negative side of things instead of the positive, so are streamers.  There are a few that come up as suggestions that will spin anything that could possibly be taken negative into the latest disaster of epic proportions.  Much like the news cycle is going to focus on the latest natural disaster while ignoring the good things that are happening. As far as why people feel compelled to come on this forum solely to trash the game it's dedicated to I have no clue.</blockquote>
