Zard is just feeling his age, as the world passes him by. Grandpa knows the difference between roll playing and role playing, and every version of D&D will allow it, if you don't get stuck in the past. But it is important that Grandpa keeps an open mind to new experiences. He may be pleasantly surprised.

I'm not really sure I understand the complaint here... Is this a really long way of saying recent d&d feels like a board game? Or are you explicitly referring to the line of d&d board games?

It seems pretty baseless to fear that d&d will keep going that way, next looks to be very deliberately unboardgamey.

dnd fanfiction?

i can't see what this has to do with 5th edition, but i guess there's not really a section for disjointed wall-of-text ramblings. 




Actually, we do have a section for blogs. community.wizards.com/go/browse/blogs

Seriously Z, your next short story would make a better blog than a forum post.

Agreed.  This should be a blog.

The Next rules are obviously meant for the generation that posts TLDR to a 10 paragraph post. That's why everything needs to be modular.

This is the point of the story right here.  DDN seems designed to encourage "Just skip to the dice rolling." play, with entire encounters only taking an hour so the average game session can be crammed to the gills with them.
"And then double it!" might as well be the rallying cry of DDN.

Ah yes, the old "the only reason someone would dislike complexity is because they're incapable of understanding it" argument.
