[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8185149, member: 18"] Re: Twitter, not to derail, but really? Do you follow specific sites or just individuals? I'm not some kind of "Twitter expert", but I visit it regularly and read it a lot, and I follow a ton of RPG creators and studios and I almost never see anything actually come up in a way that's useful unless I think to go directly to someone's page - which I usually don't for months - and even then half the time they're the kind of Twitter person who makes 30 re-Tweets or "personal life" posts for every game-related post, which means you need to dig like hell to find anything. Like, do I need to have Twitter constantly notifying me on my phone or something? What I've found more useful with specific games/creators is Discord, generally, but YMMV. I agree re: middle ground, but my personal perception is that this is a change that has been long-wanted for mechanical/design reasons, and that all that really happened here is that the timeline advanced. I think that's actually why the situation is still causing frustration - because these moves were in many ways more about outdated mechanics and lore, they're not really addressing some of the deeper or more nuanced concerns out there. In fact, I doubt WotC as a whole even comprehend some of the more nuanced concerns. I'm surprised anyone thought they did, to be honest. I expected half-arsed, and we got maybe a 1/3rd arsed.
