[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 9149312, member: 93670"] Hi! Apparently I'm no one. The 5e dmg is terrible to the point of actively causing problems for GMs in terms of what it does and does not include. Much of what a no one like me will note when engaging in the paradox of being a someone who reads a think no one reads it will become clear just how terrible much of the "solutions" to problems are as well as how frequently those solutions seem focused first and foremost on actively avoiding doing anything about a problem other than making it more difficult to fix by way of what is included or omitted. after all these years does anyone still think that they are making reasoned points defending 5e by claiming the dmg solves things* and that the only problem is that people have not read the dmg★ or that they can't find it‡ *Usually it won't because it wouldn't have been raised or a specific solution would be reference ld with a particular section like "it has a variant/optional rule for that but it sucks like so" or the initial problem wouldn't have been raised. ★often they have read it, often more than once after you include the times they've looked for a thing or humored a fishing expedition. Of course they become a paradox after reading a think no one reads and no longer exist ‡ [I][B]if[/B][/I] it exists... often they have found it or know for certain that the relevant entry takes pains to enshrine that or some other problem. They know that for certain be fulfilling the paradox and blinking out of existence after becoming no one through the act of reading it. [/QUOTE]
