I know people prefer to complain instead of act, but what is something people don’t like but has an alternative?

    Dungeon and Dragon. There is a ton of TTRPG out there and things like Level up 5e are direct replacement with better content.

      Hell even just D&D 3.5e is better than 5e imo. Though I mostly play Pathfinder 2e nowadays (I’d be happy with Pathfinder 1e as well).

      Just 5e is boring as hell to both DM and to play.

        undefined> 5e is boring as hell to both DM and to play.

        My experience this is 100% the group, the system is secondary to the quality of DM and other players. A good group will have fun in any system.

          Out of curiosity, are you using some kinda app? Cause I’ve been seeing comments, including yours, contain “undefined>” and it doesn’t seem to be either a Lemmy or kbin thing. Maybe a misfunctioning app?

      Pathfinder’s action system is just a lot better than D&D’s.

      Also, the way it handles critical failures or misses is more fun. IIRC, D&D is just 20 and 1. Whereas Pathfinder makes 10 over DC or 10 under DC a critical success/failure respectively. And in fact it’s not just a yes or no thing, but a scale that can even cancel out (so a nat 1 but 10 over is just a normal roll). Many spells and such have special effects for critical success/failure.

      Ha I run a game store and it’s finnally good to see things like Blades in the Dark, Mork Borg, Alice is Missing, Avatar, Cyberpunk, and Pathfinder knock a percent or two into the D&D Market share.
