#24 yup. What? You saying magic doesn’t exist? It’s “made up” just like the concept of money. Or justice, or religion, or even a contiguous sense of Self. There’s a lot that can’t be empirically proven but still impacts human society. And I’d rather bet on magic changing things for the better, than another round of violence by the “good guys.”

#3 There's a sci-fi alternate history book by Harry Turtledove called "The Guns of the South." It's about a white supremacist group that travels back in time to give AK-47s to the Confederacy, resulting in the South winning the Civil War.

#12 5e so bad I thought I hated TTRPGs until I played another game and realized 5e is incomplete, and that's why rules, rulings, and play style can vary so greatly between games, while individual character builds almost never change. Also they forgot to include rule 0 until recently and went out of their way to word things vaguely. Other editions don't have a problem with rules lawyers the way 5e does.

7 months ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Oh man... You have no idea. 3.5 and Pathfinder have much bigger problems with rules lawyers because of the complexity of the ruleset. 5e was a deliberate attempt to be less rules heavy. But rules-light and rules-heavy are matters of personal taste (Pathfinder is my personal jam. Well, in D&D anyway. Given the choice I'll take Changeling: The Dreaming over anything else, but nobody but me loves it).

I had a dream to purchase a Hilux in the next 5 years. But I cannot describe my disappointment with the 8th generation having the plastic wheel flares. Plastic body elements. On a Hilux. "oh just buy a used one, the last version with no plastic." No one sells them. 8th Gen only crew cab, no extended cab. Dream crushed.

3.5 was great, but I enjoyed Pathfinder more. That said, my group has been playing 5e since d&d next, and we're still having fun with it. We haven't looked at 2024 yet. (D&D isn't our only system, though, we sometimes use Fate and often reskin All Flesh's Unisystem depending on what game we're playing)

I haven't tried 5th ed, the idea that every time I turn the page hasbro will charge me a subscription fee just isn't for me. 3.5 is great though.

7 months ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 2

It's got some good concepts (e.g. short rests and bounding polymorph-like spells by CR instead of HD), but the participation trophy ethos behind things like bounded accuracy is offensively bad and makes characters feel pretty cookie-cutter identical (modulo some reskinning).

Some issues, but very well put together and avoids the "ivory tower" nonsense that pervaded 3e. Kobold Press has released their own derivative of 5e, Tales of the Valiant, just like Paizo did with 3.5 in creating Pathfinder, that resolves a lot of those issues.

Honestly, 5e is the reason I switched to Pathfinder, 1E is basically dnd 3.75 and 2E imo does everything 5e *tried* to do but still feels good and isn't controlled by shitty Hasbro

4e was the best edition in my opinion - perfect? No. But it was more accessible and streamlined - I would have liked to see it get more skills added back in - but it was more balanced and still had a diversity of builds. 5e basically took everything good about 4e and tossed it out and then tried to be like 3.5 but just gave us a clunkier version of it.

I'm too tired to die fighting on this hill, but I will nap upon it.

4e to me felt like early wow turned into a table top rpg. You can use these abilities whenever, these ones roughly once a fight(1 to 5 minute cd abilities in wow), these abilities once per day (30 minutes cd abilities in wow), etc. which isn't bad, it just changed the flow so much that I understand why people coming from 3.5/PF didn't like it as much

3.5/PF was like a big box filled with tangled cables. All the functionality was available, but it took effort for users to work through and untangle effectively.

5E feels like WotC found the easiest cables to yank out (basic combat, some skills, Forgotten Realms) and threw away the rest. Meanwhile PF 2E feels like Paizo spent ages untangling each cable, wrapping each up neatly, and tagging what it is.

Pathfinder is the fan patch of DnD 3.5, that got so full of extra content that they released it as it's own game.
