The writer got mad when a goblin shoved Astarion off a cliff. It reminded me of when I had Karlach shove a goblin in lava, then a goblin ran up and shoved HER in the lava. I didn’t get mad; I took it as a learning moment: enemies can shove me back, so move away from the lava.

Being popular and being a good game are completely different things. Being fun and being a good game are different things. Being useful and being a good game are different things.

I'm not making a value judgement on whether 5e is likeable. I like 5e. It's just that it's not a complete and coherent experience.

Argument ad populum doesn't change that.

    Right. Gladly, you're here to explain those masses of idiots who are having fun why they should not. You're just being pedantic. And for the record, no, it doesn't make you sound smart.

    Right? And “a fun game doesn’t mean a good game” is just bizarrely wrong headed. Yes, definitionally a fun game is a good game. You have to be incredibly high sniffing your own farts to confidently and obstinately state otherwise.
