  • You’re a “patron of a crafter”? I’m unaware of any transactional element to this situation, and if there is no money changing hands, then you’re selling yourself short. You, as much as anyone at the table, per se, are just as much an equal contributor to the game itself and your individual enjoyment of such, with just as much a say in how that comes about.

    In a perfect world, you should be able to bring this up with the group and be recognized for the courage and trust in their friendship (much less, the maturity) it takes to do so. If that’s not how it shakes out, the table clearly isn’t for you and you’d be better off continuing your search for a game worth your time & effort.

    If, after all this, the DM is paid for their time? Get a fuckin’ refund.




  • I’d like to honor your genuine attempt to “fix” a clearly broken system that hasn’t had any meaningful impetus toward change/update in generations, so here’s to the (unintentional?) nod to nearly any other system that came out of the 90s (or was inspired by them).

    That said, bringing 5e to the table is just as complicit in the corporate takeover of our storytelling hobby as anti-proxy MtG is suffocating the synergistic creativity at the heart of its system.

    It’s all about profit, and always has been.

    If you don’t like alignment, do yourself a favor and play just about anything else. Go. Explore. It’s how ThAC0 died. We can kill this, too, but it’s gotta start with their bottom line.
