[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 8282658, member: 93670"] = The bottom of the barrel is where patience & tolerance for stagnation ends. There is only so much patience that can be expected of people who notice crack in the 5e rules foundation over time or just find themselves bored with the level of mastery they've acquired over a very very simple ruleset that minimized tactical & resource management elements. What's more is that they are entering the d20 era of not d&d 5e versions of 5e spinning off away from wotc's stagnant d&d 5e. I can think of 3coming out in the next year [ispoiler]([URL='https://stargatetherpg.com/about/sgp/']stargate:phoenix[/URL], [URL='https://www.levelup5e.com/']levelup[/URL], [URL='http://www.dyskami.ca/anime5e.html']anime5e[/URL])[/ispoiler] with two in the next month or so & all of them taking it in remarkably different directions with their own rules modifications that will continue to diverge from the core it started with just as paizo & pathfinder did. TCoE probably did more harm than good wrt continuing a slow pace aiming for geologic timescales.
