As an aside, 3rd edition was the last good edition, too. In 5th, nothing is balanced, nothing is calculated, the DMG literally has for loot and treasure tables "eh, fuck it, just go by feeling, we ain't helping you do shit-all here" and then drops single use low-level health potions on the same example random treasure table as "ignore all damage reduction and resistances" magical swords.
Bring back THAC0 and they'll flee to other softer bullshit.
Ah shit, I didn't realize it had gotten that bad.
I remember reading through my library's entire stock of 3rd edition books one summer, cover to cover and marveling at all the meticulous tracking of everything in all those tables. It just fascinated me in a way that is, I think, indicative of the kind of obsessive nerdy nature required to really dive into the hobby. If I don't have several tables to look up random loot in and then have to dig out a separate source book to figure out what that loot even does, then am I really playing D&D?
Isn't Pathfinder supposed to be a return to the uber autistic TTRPG format?
Which Pathfinder?
The previous edition of Pathfinder started from the rules of 3.5E, and went on from there.
The current edition of Pathfinder is a totally different thing, and the company itself is pretty fucking woke.
You have to realize that the TTRPG industry was the first to fall to Woke, back in 2005 or something. The industry has relentlessly been driving out people who are not woke for almost 20 years.
There are non woke games. Just not the current Pathfinder. Go play Reign by Greg Stolze or EarthDawn by Red Brick Games.
Well, pathfinder is similar to DnD in that if you find people playing the older edition, they're less likely to be woke. Btw, I said 2007 so your 2005 estimate is close to mine.
