[–] jtrek@startrek.website 116 points 7 months ago (3 children) DND is a weird mix of too many rules and not enough rules. permalink fedilink source hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 10 points 7 months ago (2 children) It's too many rules written with too much haste and no testing. You end up with a ton of rules that aren't clear and contradict each other constantly. It's honestly a shit system. New players really should be told to play Pathfinder 2e at this point, not D&D5e. If the company being complete shit wasn't enough of a reason, the rules making a lot more sense should be. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jtrek@startrek.website 6 points 7 months ago New players really should be told to play Pathfinder 2e at this point, not D&D5e It's unfortunate that DND 5e is the sole mega popular game. People who want fantasy tactical combat would probably do well with Pathfinder 2e. But people who just want to tell a fun story would probably have a lot more fun with something lighter, like Fate. There's so many games out there and most don't get the love they deserve permalink fedilink source parent [–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 7 months ago* coughcough PBtA.Daggerheart.Ironsworn.literallyanythingelse cough Sorry, that came outta nowhere. 🙇🏼♂️ permalink fedilink source parent
