I aint got time for that. I’m happy for you, or I’m sorry you’re going through that.

Eh agree to disagree. You’re falling into the trap that 5e sets of assuming what is on the character sheet it’s all that’s available to the characters. By forcing players into subclasses that are all just cookie cutter perfectly balanced slight variations of each others, you’re encouraging players to stay entirely in their sheet and everyone basically does the same thing with different flavor, to fulfill ONLY the specific fantasies pre ordained by WOTC. To approach every problem by first looking to their sheet and trying to find the right number instead of creatively looking at the narrative we’re building together and finding a unique solution. It’s not a “me” problem to acknowledge that 5e subclasses and races are incredibly samey mechanically, and if you can’te see that I suggest you try to look past the matrix and pretty illustrations WOTC uses to distract from the fact, and look to the actual fundamentals of how the game works. Prof. Dungeonmaster I think has a great take on the subject: https://youtu.be/UwPnhr2b8VU**___**

Not really, when all the subclasses are just on a spectrum bleeeing into each other. None of them feel unique anymore, just a mash of x+y class. It just adds cruft, limits actual creative choice in character building, adds to dm workload, and makes everything feel samey. It’s like the custom stat benefits rule from Tasha’s. On its face, seems like a good idea. But now you just have every race being a reskin of each other. Kill the subclass. Embrace class differences. Let players make their characters unique based on the stories we make together, not trying to fit them into a predefined cookie cutter box.

Idk. I’m going in the opposite direction. Shadowdark has brought such a fresh enjoyment to the game for me, taking everything I like as a DM from 5e, cutting out all the cruft and bullshit, and condensing it all into a sweet ichor-like-syrup. Player characters can actually go down, I don’t have books worth of subclasses to know (all of which have long since blended together), classes are distinctive and specialized; I can’t recommend it strongly enough.

Great because just what’s 5e is missing is more subclasses

Guess what, D&D is free, 5e is Creative Commons. Also guess what, it’s all D&D, your snark isn’t necessary. Wizards of the coast’s Dungeons and Dragons (tm ) is not the best version of the game, and it isn’t the only version of the game. https://youtu.be/D6S2vhY6iPk

In general I’m increasingly of the opinion that rules-lite is the way to go. Check out Shadowdark for an even more streamlined version of 5e that, imo, cuts out a lot of the cruft. Each class’s rules take only one page. Same with character generation.

Renaissance!

Looking at your username and profile, same lol. Yeah, eternal September is a phrase that means something to those of us that have been on the internet long enough to know how communities migrate.

OoOoo THREE responses! 🤡 You suuuuure showed me! That MUST mean you’re right, and not just a big dim tankie fuck whose worn out the patience of those around you. Get fucked tankie, you’re on the wrong side of history, and i absolutely love how mad you are that you and yours are losing this safe space.

This isn’t a debate, I don’t need to “answer” anything. I’m here to laugh at you losers tripping over yourselves to deny what is obvious to anyone with eyes: that you’re backing an authoritarian dictator invading a European country in an obvious war of aggression. And you’re losing, tankie fuck 😂😂😂

You brought it up clown

Sure whatever you say 🙄

What’s historical fact is Putin openly talking about wanting to annex Ukraine since before he came to power, and the documented war crimes and atrocities he’s committed in power before, up to and during this war of aggression that - for SoMe ReAsON - you orcs support. Get. Fucked. Tankie. Fuck. 🤡😂

I don’t give a fuck what you believe, tankie fuck. Your concern trolling while simping for a country and dictator that literally imprisons people like me will never not be obvious, meaningless hypocritical trolling. You christofascist Putinists all give actual communists a bad name. Marx would be ashamed.

Lmfao if you think this is a war about denazification I have a bridge in the Donbas to sell you. You’re the one quoting the propaganda.

And for the record I happily suck dick. That you brain dead orcs see that as an insult just shows your full ass. It’s whose cock you’re sucking is (obviously) the problem, war crime apologist.
