Yeah not all of the good stuff made it over in its best forms. Fully will agree to that.

Which good parts of 4e made it into 5e? Advantage I guess.

While not fantasy based...Eclipse Phase is probably my favorite system and setting.

The rules are meant to just be a framework that the players and DM tweak to tell their story. What the article states is arguably wrong with D&D 5E could be solved by a DM being flexible and a decent storyteller.

idk how it compares to 4e though, I haven’t played that one.

i hear the exact opposite. ive heard nothing but bad things about P2e. they say it removes all the good things about 3.5/PF1e. most people went to PF1 because they hated 4e D&D and I keep hearing PF2e is most like 4e D&D.

Well treating human beings in a humane and dignified manner requires you to see them as human beings.

So they’re going the demonize the body and demonize sexuality route

Yeah I’ve heard that 2e is a pretty good improvement overall. Still need to find myself a copy and then find a group to try it sometime.

In the process of playing it myself. Getting by some of the crunch with old 3.5 knowledge of how things generally work. And god there is sooo much crunch to keep track of...but I do have some suggestions for surviving it.

To be fair, that generally covers the last 3 expansions Forsaken -> Now.

So...vaguely and I might have some details out of order a bit...

Furthermore, replacing the white men with another race and/or gender just for that fact is asinine. ...

So are one-day boycotts. Because those aren’t boycotts, they’re an off day.

Developing solutions to problems like this takes time, not a week, not even a month or a few.

I’m suggesting its exactly where we were when the hashtag started up, which is exactly where we were months before that, and months before that, and so on and so forth.

There isn’t likely to be immediate change - because there never, ever is - but the acknowledgments coming from Twitch are a step in the right direction.

Streaming, despite any on-paper appearances, isn’t an easy job. You’re not just “playing games for fun.” You’re on camera eight, nine, twelve hours a day. You’re constantly “on.”

Youtube also remains awful for people other than the who’s can survive controversy or get sweetheart deals from Google.

Hence the note about mod bundling and the like.  All it takes is one asshole bundling it in with things and its going to make some mod/community manager/customer support person’s day hell.
