Yea now we have a game that's still dogwater for narrative stuff but pretends it's not and everybody insists it's fine and refuses to try to improve it, lol. I'm kidding, but not a ton. I think they really need to revise the game to be 2: simpler, tighter, basic, and then the heavy combat advanced.

Anyway they should bring back 4e. Now that was a board game. 20 year anniversary next year, how about a re-release? Show some of these players who weren't even born when 5e first came out what an Edition is.

a deck of CYOA cards. Much more fixed. Like Gloomhaven. That might actually sing. But then you DO play it and people zone out, get bored, and try to weasel out of combat and consequences and stakes, or they remain heavily adversarial even in narrative and want I Win buttons everywhere, and it sucks.

Like, I think it sucks that the game grinds to a halt for combat, but the actual game, like if you sat down to just play a combat for 3 hours (because a big one can take that much), that's kind of fun. That's where adversarial play between players/DM almost works. And maybe the story is more like...
