Message: <blockquote data-quote="DEFCON 1" data-source="post: 8957915" data-attributes="member: 7006">From my untrained outside eye it sounds more like its the loss of your best friend and old group is what is causing you more pain than any ruleset.  If you loved 5E for a couple years but it was only after your friend passed and the group broke up that the game suddenly lost its luster... isn't that what the real change was?The game of "WotC D&D" didn't become something else so suddenly that it would go from a game you loved to a game you hate just like that.  The game is pretty much the same as it ever was.  Seems to me the real change was in the group you no longer play with.  So when you say you really miss the continuum... that's what appears to be the actual break you experienced from my outside perspective that you lost, not that the 5E ruleset suddenly "went bad".  You lost someone and something you loved with all your heart, a group of friends that were your heart and soul.And the fact that you day after day come onto these boards to do nothing but decry 5E and 1D&D over and over and over, constantly wishing for the days of yore sounds more like you are trying to hang on to your past because you desperately miss it.  Which is completely understandable... it's just not very healthy.  In any other situation where a person just got tired of a game, they would decide to play a different one (like you have with Level Up) and never look back in the rear view mirror.  There would be no reason to concern themselves with something they weren't playing.  But you aren't doing that.  You haven't been able to move on.  You're using WotC 5E as the reason for your pain and you can't help but constantly lash out at it day after day after day, thread after thread after thread.Look, I'm very sorry for your loss... but from this outsider perspective it sounds like you really need to do is to take more time to process what happened to you, because this incessant lashing out at the "old bad stuff" of WotC 5E (because you can't lash out at the pain of losing your friend and group) just isn't helping you move on.</blockquote>
