As an old D&D player, I’ve been through multiple editions, and I honestly don’t get the hate for 5e. It’s not needlessly complex as 3 was, and not as brain dead as 4. It’s accessible to everyone, with enough complexity for those of us that liked 3. Pathfinder was fine, but trying it again after 5e is like watching extra work just appear on your table.
If you really want a good time, where the system is truly different for the better, then try Star Wars Force and Destiny. Best system around in my opinion.
I definitely think it’s worth trying. My wife is similar, I believe, as the rules and general way of playing were daunting, and made it not necessarily seem like something she would enjoy. We assured her that we would take it slow while she got the hang of it. She is still getting ideas for what’s possible, but she has her own character’s mechanics down, which is great. Best of luck to you!
I’ve played with the same group for 7 years, almost every Friday, but we do take some weeks off here and there for family/work/etc. My wife is accommodating, but it was taking a toll since we do love hanging out with each other. Then, a couple of years ago, we invited her to play again, and she actually did. Now she’s part of the group, and we are all having a blast on Friday nights. Lucky situation, I grant you that, but achievable.
I loved this game.
There was likely a failed apocalyptic preacher at that time. That’s it.
How bold of you to assume that most people will inherit money and assets.
Many times.
3-2-1 standard is what saves you.
I mean, if you’ve purchased chocolate in the last century, you’re supporting slavery by your logic. Same for many other commodities, but most people know about diamonds. You could be protesting your entire life, justifiably, about many things. Most people in the world cannot consume without inadvertently causing harm and suffering somewhere in the world. It’s nice that you’re now thinking about it though.
It’s kind of bullshit to call people impatient if they buy a game when the publisher says the game is ready for release. That’s on the punisher, not the consumer. While everyone is fine with pushing the blame on the consumer for buying games at release, I’m over here shaking my fist at the publisher. I get the whole idea of being upset that purchasing on release is perpetuating poor practices, but don’t be sloppy with your aim. This is squarely on the publisher.
