Folks who stopped playing 5e because of WotC's various shenanigans (Tasha's, OGL, etc). Did you go back? Why/why not? : rpg

Haven't played 5e in a while. It's very accessable to new players but gets stale fast for experienced ones. I also don't like how they basically globo-homoed distinct races out of existance because of real world politics. And that fricking overpowered wheelchair and the writers smug attitude about it. I'll try out new systems when I have time to learn a new one or just homebrew 5e even harder.

5e plays like shit and has too many rules. Suffers the same power problems as 3.5/pathfinder but they happen at level 3 because the core books are full of fanfiction.

So did I do to the awesome amount of 3rd party and homebrew material.

We swapped to Pathfinder, but still use old 3.5 stuff as well like spells. Campaign is also set in the Forgotten Realms.

I have to admit I really love archetypes way more than prestige classes.

I'm guessing the examples of reasons you'd stop playing are because of problematic, not any other reason?

Nah, the books apparently got way worse objectively. Everyone is pretty sick of D&D now.

That was my understanding as well, but specifying 'Tasha's' suggests a spell, and I vaguely remember sperging about a spell in the books making a bunch of whiners freak out.

It's still fun but only because it's easy to get a group together. It's fun in spite of most of the new rules
