People just get bored. It's one of the best first systems to try, since it appeals to many initial instincts a player would have.

Everyone here is kinda at the so-over-it stage because they played it for ten-twenty years. And really, if you can figure out 3.5/pathfinder, you can figure out any other system.

Even on 4chan, the contrarian cesspool of the internet, the best the anti-D&D bitches can do is try to force a handful of shitty half-memes that everyone either ignores, or in the case of OP, helps advertise the game.

I post "have you tried not playing d&d" fairly often. It's not because I hate d&d. It's a fine game, and I still play it occasionally. However, a lot of the problems I see threads about are problems with the system, with the expectations of the system's fans, or problems stemming from a very limited perspective.
Love it or hate it, you have to admit D&D has certain qualities and drawbacks, and they can be traded for different ones if you switch games.

No one's "lamenting" about D&D. They're almost always complaining about a specific thing, usually a small feature which can be replaced or augmented, and are asking for advice on doing so.

Your advice is like telling someone with a baby that has a smudge on its cheek to throw out the baby.

Sorry, but you're still just a stack of bullshit. Even the condescending property of assuming that someone with an issue with D&D simply hasn't played any other game basically puts a pin to your "I just want to try and help people" lies. Your main goal is to try and assert there's something wrong with playing D&D, and if it wasn't, you wouldn't bother with screaming "STOP PLAYING D&D" like you think that doing it in a passive aggressive voice makes you less of a faggot, rather than more.

>any other game will do
Do you really need an explanation of why what you just said was stupid, or are you capable of realizing that for yourself?

>'m trying to get them to ALSO play other games.
Do it when they ask for that then, instead of running on some idiotic assumptions. Or, be fair. In every thread that mentions any other game, ask if they've tried playing D&D instead.

You don't like D&D being popular, and instead of ignoring D&D discussions, you've decided to be a little bitch about it, all while pretending you just want to help people because you need some sort of screen to hide behind.

If you want to give people advice on new games to try, by all means, just recommend games.There's no need to scream "STOP PLAYING D&D", and there's definitely no reason to stoop to the level of trying to defend that kind of shitspam.

...4e and 5e basically ditched alignments. No mechanics actually involve them anymore, they're just flavor now.

And, removing those elements from 3.5 is super easy, and more importantly, even if you removed half of the material in the game, you'd still have one of the largest games ever put to print. You could remove 90% of the game (or, in more practical terms, option to only use 10%) and still have a game that qualifies as gigantic by RPG standards, and most campaigns barely see even 3% of the total available material.

Also, many games include pseudo-alignments, including mechanical things like humanity levels or clan relationships, or even just straight up steal alignment as many games have a habit of liberally taking whatever they want from D&D, so just saying "stop playing D&D" doesn't help in any case.

Not him, but my advice is to, if you're the GM, ease the group into it by running the usual DND one week then a new system the next. I have a hard time going back to DND now not because it's a bad set of systems per se, but more because I'm not big into traditional fantasy and I've found systems that fit the niches I do enjoy that are more open. I've found I'm not big on class-based systems (like DND), but I still recommend 5e as the best "starting point" to new players because it's dead-ass simple to run and play and hard to fuck up. And if you still like it as more than an introductry game? Great, keep playing it with people who feel the same, I'm not going to tell you off for that, but I will urge you to at least try broadening your horizons. If 5e does the fantasy genre for you well, great, keep it for that, but if you get the itch to try other genres (i.e. sci-fi or modern horror) or specific settings based on popular media (i.e. star wars) you might want to branch out. Test the waters. That's when you start alternating what you play every other week; you keep your 5e game but also get something fresh. Everyone wins, nobody loses, and you get to expand your horizons without giving up a game you like.

Half of which is a massive amount of unplayable crap. There's a lot of good content for 3.5 but you have to shovel it out of a pile of ogl shit.

>Also, many games include pseudo-alignments, including mechanical things like humanity levels or clan relationships, or even just straight up steal alignment
Yeah but they also work differtly. Also many other don't have alignments to begin with. So in short you wont look anywere else because there is an infinitesimal chance of finding something you already know and an endlessly greater chance to get something done differently? Great plan.

Page 231 of the 5e PHB, Detect Evil And good. "For the duration, you know if there is an aberration, celestial, elemental, fey, fiend, or undead within 30 feet of you, as well as where the creature is located. Similarly, you know if there is a place or object within 30 feet of you that has been magically consecrated or desecrated." It doesn't mention alignment even though it SOUNDS like it should. All spells tied to evil and good are like this now, as are class features.

I did a quick research about this when it came to 4E, because I was interested in the answer, and because I had the online compendium nearby.
Requiring an alignment prerequisite:
>1 theme
>1 feat
>8 Paragon Paths
>4 Epic Destinies
>2 classes (Invoker and Paladin, for which the only restriction in alignment is to be the same alignment as their god, nothing more).

So, yeah, 4E ditched most of the mechanics of alignment-related stuff, and kept it mostly for flavor.

No, they were pretty much created by completely discarding D&D, and a bit of paralel evolution. Other games came immediately after D&D at a speed that puts lie even to the notion that Gygax "invented" roleplaying.

No one hates D&D quite as much as bitchboy contrarians.

D&D players might have legitimate gripes about the game, but they're hampered by reality. Bitchboy contrarians hate the game almost entirely on an imaginary basis, and you really can't compete with hating things based on biases, misconceptions, and ignorance.

It works with scaling damage for PCs and a lot of quality of life improvements like higher starting HP for starting characters so you stubby have to increase book keeping add start characters at level 3 and miss damage. Martials get more meaningful character design and combat decisions.
Some people, myself included, don't like the theatre of the mind combat positions but that's easier to patch it then fixing DnD.
The biggest flaw imo, is that it just improved DnD add not really a full game in its own right.

A lot of the people on 4chan like to be contrarian for its own sake.

Anyone who plays D&D will know that basically every edition is a fine system with its own pros and cons; yes, even 4th.
Many people who are new to the game won't know what things their edition does poorly and what it does well. Others who are experienced with the game may try to push the boundaries of what it can do. The problem we run into is that some of these people come to /tg/ asking us for advice on how to slightly modify the rules or handle certain, specific situations and the assclowns who have never actually bothered to play the damn game but hate it because Critical Role made it popular spam threads with "Reeee, don't play DND! No game is better than any DND game!"

I love and hate Critical Role. Before it, people here would help modify rules and calmly suggest better systems for circumstances that demanded them. After Critical Role I constantly find myself with dozens of people curious to give the game a try and less social stigmas from people who don't play.

It's more functional than non-functional honestly, it works, it's just when I ran it RAW I kept having to say no because it's a very limited ruleset. It feels like it's meant to be built upon with houserules, homebrew, and other things of the like.

>>72665955
Yeah, like I said above it's incredibly good for homebrew. I can whip up a class or a race and keep it fitting no sweat because 5e has specific design conventions that are easy to follow and work with as well as understand.

>>72665987
This, 5e works pretty good on its own and only requires minor tweaks to suit the taste of your group. I have choies; I can either brew a Kamen Rider class from the ground up (I have because that's how I roll, and my groups play with homebrew since all the people who GM are chill and we're all friends and we don't want to break the game or ruin anyone's fun) or just play a Paladin/Warlock multiclass with Mask of Many Faces and the Unarmed Strike Fighting style ua and then smite with punches for Rider Kicks.

Of course if I want to go full rider I could just play something like HERO, M&M, or a system I've put together but not everyone's going to want to learn a new system just so one guy can play his oddly specific concept.

All of them would benefit from trying a different game or two. Maybe literally anything, maybe a curated choice that meets their aims. But it's so boring, there has to be some way to help them but also slap their titties a little.

If your intent is to give advice, then take mine and rephrase your suggestion to play a different system so it isn't an obnoxious rhetorical question. It makes you look like a prat. Seriously. Consider the following:

>Hey anons, I've been having trouble sleeping lately and haven't been able to get to bed before 5 a.m. some nights! It even happened last night. I know diet can impact sleep so what I had for dinner last night (at around 8) was a steak sandwich with fries and a mountain dew. Any advice? I need to wake up early tomorrow.

Eating that late can make it hard to go to bed, and mountain dew has tons of caffeine. I'd try switching to water and not eatting dinner earlier.
vs.
Have you tried not drinking mountain dew? Try switching to water and don't eat so late.

If you can't tell that one of those comes off as much more rude and combative than the other, then you might actually be autistic. And while I'm often the first to jump up and say that we all have the right to be dicks to each other on the internet, you should be honest in your dickery.

It's not the worst, just not the best either. People have a very very bad taste in their mouth after 3.5/pf where the game could be easily snapped over your knee, everyone tried homebrewing it to do something it had no business doing, and it was very complicated for what it offered.

The "have you tried not playing D&D" comes from the fact that there are better options for things that aren't monster brawling dungeon crawlers. This may seem obvious, but back in 3.5 times people saw how complex the system was and thought every system was like this. Thinking that, they stretched D&D's rules like play-dough to accommodate things it really wasn't suited for, instead of broadening their horizons. As long as you recognize that other options exist, and trying to make D&D into something like a realistic modern-day police procedural TTRPG is a stupid idea, you're golden.

Do you need to transparently be a stupid cunt only interested in trying to get people to stop playing a game you dislike though?
You really could go about it not as a cunt, but since you really want to just keep being a cunt, you really need to stop trying to defend yourself as anything other than a cunt.

You're a cunt. At least show that you're aware of what everyone else knows.

The D20 system is ancient in terms of p&p rpgs. It's proven itself to be an adaptable and versatile system.
It's difficult for even trannys to fuck up when they don't try to absolutely break it like they in 4th edition.
This all said, other systems are objectively better at their specific focus, DnD is the just the jack of all trades format and is easily adapted to different settings "good enough".
But ultimately, some rule sets are better for their respective settings.

Ultimately, play whatever system you like, but you really don't need to come here and act like a faggot, begging for attention because: "lol someone on /tg/ said something and I disagree".

You very clearly are upset anon. I'm very happy that people can have fun with taking D&D and doing something different with it, power to them. What I don't quite understand is when they take D&D, want to do something different with it but don't know how, and a huge amount of time changing things when someone has already done that work for them effectively. I don't quite understand the insistence on using just the one system for everything, when there are so many out there tailor made for so many different types of games. I don't know why pointing a basic truth, that D&D is a game about killing monsters and taking their shit, has gotten you so upset.

Yes, exactly.

If I'm going for space shenanigans, I'm probably not going for D&D, but instead Eclipse Phase or Stars Without Number.

No, the other posts are trying to distract from the original point.

D&D threads belong on /tg/ and have every right to be posted. People should be able to come here for questions and suggestions both in and outside of a general thread. Anon made the claim that "[if] people are posting the /tg/ complaints department image macro, your thread is shit." I am attempting to illustrate that this is utter horseshit because we all know either that image macro or the phrase that goes with it is posted in practically 100% of D&D threads that aren't the general, and sometimes the generals too.

So I ask again. What is a good thread that someone new to both D&D and /tg/ could make that concerned some question or problem with D&D? And once again a valid answer cannot include "it doesn't exist," or "the general thread."

Shit, you are actually an idiot, and not just pretending to be one. You could have stopped, but you decided to show off just how fucking bad you are at figuring out how to adapt games.

I'll give you some advice. If you're having trouble figuring out how to use a system as easy to adapt as D&D, what you need to spend your time learning is how to modify games, not learning new systems.

You're like a mechanic who doesn't know how to fix a bum headlight recommending that you throw the car out and buy a motorcycle.

I'm not though. The game is about killing monsters and taking their shit. That is what the vast majority of the mechanics revolve around, what the most fleshed out mechanics deal with, what the game started as, and very much what the game is. You CAN do other things with it, but there are also other systems that cater to those things better.

>>72662822
That's cool that you enjoyed something. It's okay to like different things. But the deal with "have you tried not playing D&D" has to do with long running issues with the game since 3e. Things such as: caster imbalance, the shift towards a near total focus on combat rules, redundancy in the spell list, and so on.

These things don't make it a bad game. Every edition of D&D is at worst serviceable, so if you enjoy it solid. But if other people were trying to steer you away from it you should probably ask them why they did. You might find they don't like class based systems and prefer open character creation, or that they prefer another system's baked in setting. Maybe they like rules light systems that don't have rules obfuscation that make people think you can crit a skill check.

Ultimately, D&D is the batchelor chow of tabletop games. No one can talk shit about you playing it because we have all played it at some point (if these fags have actually every played a game and arent just being bitches from the side line.) But it is totally reasonable for people to suggest another system when someone has a problem.

The vast majority of the rules are dedicated to fighting and getting better at fighting. Non-combat rules amount to little more than a DC and a 1d20+modifier roll, with little variation between characters and no real support from the mechanics to differentiate character competency except in the method you use to kill stuff. Sure, you can use it for games about something other than lots and lots of fantasy fighting, but you probably shouldn't for the same reason you shouldn't use a screwdriver to dig a trench. It's not what the thing is built for and you're going to have an easier time with a tool built for it.

I am very able to accept it, as I have mentioned several times now. Doesn't change the fact there is still a system that would probably do what they want better or that issues do crop up when taking a game that's centered on killing monsters and taking their shit and try an center it on something else. If issues didn't crop up, there wouldn't be any "how do I do X in D&D" questions.

I think 5E is great when you want to play D&D. It's horrible for doing non typical D&D stuff.

4E is an interesting tactical combat system built on modern MMO character building and party interaction concepts.

3.x is really fun, but the D20 system was trying to do too much while having feats/skills/class builds too specific. It was a system good for trying to describe an existing hero, but a really rough system to actually level up to that point.(pathfinder fixed a lot of the issues) It was situationally good at doing non D&D things, I had fun with D20 Modern, Star Wars, etc. though ultimately they all shared the same issue.

2nd ed and earlier were solid for playing D&D.

D&D has a lot of problems as I'm sure other people ITT have pointed out but at the end of the day it's a very easy system to learn and surprisingly flexible at its core, with a lot of leeway for houserules and variants to suit different playstyles and fix some of the aforementioned issues. You should definitely broaden your horizons but at the same time there's no shame in periodically coming back to some good ol' D&D.

DnD only works well with adventure supplements, it's an (REALLY) awful system for improvisation. You will end up lying to your players or boring then with how much time you'll need to set things up on the fly.

...What?
You have that completely backwards. 90% of the adventures suck but it's great for improvising. True for Basic through 2nd and 5th at least.

C'mon anon, we all know that when you improvise in DnD you eventually start bullshiting players with made up abilities, bosses with HP that never goes to zero until you think "now that's a good fight", bad-tought DCs, the list goes on...
Adventures sucking or not doesn't really matter from what I said previosuly, DnD only works well with tons of prep, and that's where adventure supplements come in.
