>>7015641serious talk:
Dungeons and Dragons is the Worst role-playing game. it just so happens to be the first, so so many venerate it.
it's shit
let me actually TLDR explain:
>level systemlevels suck and are a horrible way to run anything.
nothing in the real world works by levels except human-initiated organization.
>Hit Pointsmost other systems use Hit-points too, but DnD has Bloat since it's tied to level. so, a 10th level fighter can get knifed in the neck and not die.
>Vancian magic is a universal standard.i have to explain this one: Vancian magic works for setting that use vancian magic. to be fair, each setting should have a magic system that works...for that system. DnD drags vancian into whatever setting you have made.
>RACErace is a legitimate thing, but in DnD, they pile fucktons of races on for no reason. this gets worse with Mike Mearls rainbow DnD added to the mix. in most fantasy settings, you choose 1-7 races that fit your setting. but not in DnD.
>Dungeon crawls formatjust go get into a real fight, and tell me how a dungeon crawl adapts to that. then read 3000 years of military history and tell me how any of that can be rep'd in a Crawl?
only thing close is taking the castle and room clearing. that is urban only. it's not even one setting's combat, it's an aspect of it.
>Classok, this was somewhat fixed by free multi-classing, so i'll put it at the bottom.
but yeah, "have you tried not playing DnD?"
