Re: Unpopular D&D Opinions Part 2: Popular To Talk About
The game just needs to define what it wants to be, and make that clear to the potential players. Then they will decide if it sounds like a game they want to play.
DCC explicitly says "this is a meat grinder. If you like those, you'll like this game."
Fate says "this is a cinematic story game."
D&D says "this is everything/anything you want!", and as a result doesn't focus its ruleset enough to make us very picky people happy. They made an attempt to create a more modular set of rules that would allow you to put together anything from meat grinder to story mode, and I like that, but they didn't go far enough. Meat grinder survival mode needs a much different set of rules than does cinematic action story.
