I know you like hockey. It’s ok. But you are really not playing a good game unless you are using a volleyball and a net.
Why won’t you just string a net across the ice in the neutral zone. See, you should be able to score with the volleyball and the puck. You are unnecessarily limiting yourself. How do you know you like hockey this way?
Yeah I get that you changed where the goalie can handle the puck. I get that this is now called and those other changes. But you have not changed enough.
Your stubborn lack of accepting a volleyball means you don’t really appreciate what you have and you have limited your fun. Don’t you see?
Go back to bland hockey then. Enjoy that outdated slop. Unless you change it more you are not accepting of true fun.
What’s that you say? I can play volleyball and get what I want too without changing hockey? I can even make a game with a hockey puck and volleyball without restructuring hockey?
In the end some people want to play D&D as unsexy as it is. And they don’t want 4e level change but like to hew closer to what they have played before. It’s ok to have more than one game without hammering change into what is liked as is now, beyond a certain point.
The game has changed over time. I like many of the changes. But it is ok to have a “limit” at which point you are too far from what you genuinely like about a game in tone and rules and art.
Nobody has a right to squat. Buy or don’t. I came as far along as I could. Tonight I plan some 5e characters and open up some boxes of new minis. I am ok with other people doing their different thing tonight. But if I have a vote it’s not for a lot of what 2024 changed. And I think it is ok to say so without crapping on other people’s fun.
My conservatism should have no more bearing on someone’s fun any more than their taste need dissuade me from likening an 11 year old game.
