Not when the roleplay is shallow, uninteresting, repetitive, and meaningless.
Most played version and easier to find players would be my guess. Also the system is simple and easy to understand for the most part.Then why play 5e)
Tbh every dnd edition will sell better than the previous version. It is the rpg game after all. System is symple and i think it is easy to understand(4e was as easy as 5e though) and 5e is shallow, uninspired, meaningless, cowardly as an edition.
Yes that is the way of everything now the dumb it down to "reach the general audience" which I blame mostly on the buying as they prove them right by buying slop. I don't play 5e the only thing 5e related thing i've touched recently is BG3 and even then I added mods and personally tweaked the stats and such to make the game more challenging and interesting.
I meant you don’t just get +1 Int, -1 Con just for being an elf like you would in 1e onwards. You just roll what you can, and if you meet the requirements, you’re an elf.
If you get into 'maker' hobbies it's inherently resistant to being pozzed. I'm going to do a book binding project soon and make my own notebooks. If you get into a hobby where you actually produce something of value it keeps the snowflake dipshits out by merit of being close enough to work that they avoid it. Case in point: the model painting/3d printing side of tabletop games has resisted the pozzing much better than the roleplay side of things.
That is true and adnd 2e's setting base system was a shitty selling point. Bur 4e sold better than 3e/3.5e/ pf1e(yes even paizo told so) and 5e sold better than 4e. Online paying options, computer games, stranger things etc helped it to be more mainstream everyday.
Finally! I can get models of pregnant drow women for my combat encounter in Erelhei-Cinlu
Not even remotely close to the truth. If you were playing 4e and you thought it played faster than other editions, then you had huge swathes of rules you ignored or you never made it to level 10 and had to go around the table recalculating the bonuses that everyone was throwing down situationally, with different durations and different radii of effect. It ground combat down like nothing I have ever seen and was worse even than the Klunk of 3/3.5.
i meant simplicity not speed of play. i have played until the end (30 lvls) multiple times. modifiers were simplyfied, class design was simle (aedu is simpler than 3.5. essentials are even simpler) and therefore it was easy to understand than 3.5. most of it even stick to 5e. where the hell did i say 4e was as fast paced as 5e?
I'm not sure how much coomers overlap with pozzed shit, but you might have a point.
I suppose I would be called that among other things because I enjoy and respect the setting. My biggest question to those that want to completely change the setting is; why do you play an established setting if you do not like the lore?
Coomers and Pozzed shit go hand and hand as they agree and support the most hedonistic people in society. I not some Scandinavian prude far from it as my favorite race to play are Drow. However, I am not going to try and be like some sort of fetish of Drow aka Drow Dommy Mommy as everything that is not Drow are nothing more than animals.
In public, there's not much overlap.
