There's a saying, "How far can a boy walk into the forest? Halfway, because after that he's walking out of it."

Apropos to the topic, if you have to impose a metric ton of table rules to make a game playable, you're no longer playing that game.

It would be interesting to learn from those who no longer play official D&D (5e) what's the primary reason...

Is it because you don't like 5e itself?

Or because you have issues with WotC/Hasbro and its behavior as a corporation?

@Craig @DM_Zeppelin It's important to remember that WotC/Hasbro is a for-profit publishing company whose top customer are their shareholders, not gamers. Recurring revenue is more assured from on-line subscriptions, not "buy it once, play it for life" physical books. #ttrpg #WotC #dnd

Baba Lysaga, 1 of 4 villains in Ravensburger's new Horrified: Dungeons & Dragons - Ravenloft, is named for Baba Yaga, whose legendary hut stands on giant chicken legs. Britain got there first and just called it Chicken Cottage. #boardGames #wotc #hasbro #ravenloft

Wer in den 1980ern ADVANCED DUNGEONS & DRAGONS gespielt hat, für den war DRAGONLANCE vermutlich eines der prägenden Erlebnisse

I won’t touch #DnD5e anymore, but I do feel for the upcoming #Encyclopedia’s #authors.

#WotC’s parent company, #Hasbro, has made clear with its #media properties—particularly #PeppaPig—that it’s going all-in on #AI-generated content, and this type of “campaign setting highlight reel” project is easy grist for the #LLM mill.

Flesh-and-blood #writers’ days aren’t yet numbered, but the need for fewer human hands ultimately means less work for them in future.
