[QUOTE="Hatmatter, post: 8285400, member: 75077"] Howdy Tetra. As I mentioned pages ago and as Marandahir stated quite well, this criticism is based on evaluating D&D 5th edition based on development and deployment of rules. At the launch of 5th edition, the designers made it clear that going forward they were interested in having the game develop through storylines and when they want to add or revise a rule, they will, but there is no particular schedule for that. It is fine for one to say that someone or some organization is letting one down because their values do not match one’s own values. However, to judge the organization and its books on a broader (less personal) level such as you seem to be doing by using criteria that Wizards itself is not using for D&D is not fair to them. What you are doing is perfectly understandable. I have played and loved D&D for a long time and back in 2nd edition created an entire binder of homebrewed rules. I know that the mechanics-heavy approach has always been an element of the game and has been the first love of many gamers. Further, it became dominant as part of Wizard’s design philosophy for the game with 3rd and 4th edition. However, Mike Mearls (as D&D Next was becoming 5th edition) and others at Wizards for years have made it clear that this is no longer the dominant design philosophy behind the D&D books. Others have said that in this thread in different ways. So, [I]where[/I] you are identifying innovation in the above quote and the analogy that you are drawing with 3rd edition, while understandable along the “past is prologue” line of thinking that we can all relate to, is not fair to how D&D has been designed and evaluated by Wizards for the last seven years. Cheers and keep rolling! So nice to have a sustained conversation where everyone has been so civil and intelligent and thoughtful. That being said, I am starting to feel like I am repeating myself so I may be bowing out soon (also I have a lot of work to do). 😀 [/QUOTE]
