D&D 5E (2024) Preferences in a New Official 5.5e Specific Setting

[Argyle King]

This is voting on something that WotC are never going to make anyway, so you may as well vote for what you want.

I suppose.

I voted in a way that I felt best answered the premise of the thread.

I tend to vote for what I want with my wallet.

The insult-other-peoples-tastes, helps no one. (It is as if saying all country music sounds the same, or all hiphop music.)

It doesnt help those who dislike the genre, because they wont be getting a product in a genre that they do want. It doesnt help people who like the genre, because the distortions from hostile stereotypes wont understand the genre well enough to produce something interesting for the fans that do like the genre.

The phrasing of not preferring the genre "at all" and of the fans of the genre being a "mentality", came across as less than enthusiastic.

Of course, you dont need to pretend to like a genre. Heh. I myself am less a fan of the postapocalyptic genre, which I occasionally accuse of being intellectually lazy for refusing to comprehend what an advanced technological society would look like.

At the same time I know there are fans of the genre, and some stories I do like, like elves of Shannara and Thundarr the Barbarian actually are postapocalyptic. There is much I like about Dark Sun, and if a bit more hopeful, a viable means to heal the planet makes the overall setting appealing to me, despite being postapocalyptic.

No big deal. Through text, sometimes things read differently than intended.

I used the same words that the original post used: "...new setting fully committed to the content and mentality the 2024 version of 5th edition..."

I openly admit that my own personal tastes are different than the ones for which I voted.
