[QUOTE="Minigiant, post: 7924652, member: 63508"] That's kinda the point. 5e is very popular now. And as it get popular, the newcomers will want things. And just like when I joined, people will see the limitation of the system to mimic the worlds, characters, and styles of the newcomers. 5e isn't that modular. It was built to be friendly to the classic D&D tropes of the past. 5e replicates the many nostalgic D&D tropes of the past and gets some of the past failures to work. It doesn't do new ideas that well though. Ideas from new comics, cartoons, books, tv, and movies, kinda fall apart and need a lot of work from the DM. A player of mine who's character asked me how do you play a character with a stand. Now I over here trying to smash 5e books to make JoJo characters. Sure Johnathan would be easy but this bum wants to be Jotaro. "Dee, you can't be Polnareff..". "Then can I be Captain Elfmerica?" "What is that, bro?" Heck, it doesn't even do beastmasters right.:cry: [/QUOTE]
