I find myself yearning for 30 page modules that can take up a couple of weeks and then move on to the next adventure. No, we aren't under any obligation to finish a game that we aren't enjoying, but after paying X dollars for each adventure we really ought to enjoy them. You can't really know if you're going to enjoy trapaising around Avernus, until you already sunk dozens of hours into the game. Their official releases often don't devote enough pages to fully flesh out an idea, leaving us with something that sounded great as a bulletpoint, but lacks the followthrough to make it really a worthwhile addition.Īlso, the 5e campaigns, while some are quite good, are a bit too long. Even if we ignore the alleged pandering, the quality of the material is getting worse. You aren't going to win an arm wrestling contest with an elephant.) This thread isn't about that however.ĥe, in the official releases, offers me less and less of what I want from the system. I've argued that this doesn't make sense internally (different species have different capacities for strength, dexterity, intelligence.

I think 5e is moving in directions that designed to pander to immature players and does so, in the latest instance, by placing a imposition on players who don't share that ideology that all 'races' should be biologically equal. Now, I know OSR has been around since before 5e, however, it seems there is a spike of popularity of OSR titles lately and I can't wonder if it is due to the current management style of 5e.
