This guy breaks down just how bad the layout of the new PHB is. The cross referencing is non-existent and the subsections seem to go in the order someone thought of them. I’m sadly unsurprised that they’ve not improved on any of these problems which existed in the original 5e PHB.

    Brand recognition, probably. Everyone outside the hobby has heard of D&D but none of them have heard of Pathfinder or Savage Worlds or whatever.

    We can change that, though!

            I’m in a group game right now that’s in the third act of Gatewalkers, and my own game is going to be homebrew. I considered getting the Kingmaker module for Foundry since I already have a license - I got it so my friend could GM Warhammer Fantasy RP for us - but my eyes watered at the $120 price tag for the Kingmaker module.

      That’s some defeatist rhetoric that only serves the corpos, friend. “Everyone outside the hobby”? Truly? And “none of them”, as well? Exceptionally inaccurate and clearly benefits the fuck-the-consumer goals of WotC. Keep their propaganda outta your mouth.

        I said “we can change that” and I believe that. Let’s start promoting other TTRPGs wherever we can. How is that defeatist?

          Let’s not argue in bad faith. The corpo rhetoric section I referred to is clearly not that statement, and said statement doesn’t change the fact that the former is still bullshit that doesn’t help any of us with its hyperbolic broad brush.
