I’m not complaining, more new games the better, and some of them are very interesting.
Also, at least some of these youtubers turned devs have tried Pathfinder and that wasn’t it, so spare the “why won’t they just play Pathfinder?” comments
The type of person that gets deep into TTRPG systems for their rules design will eventually want to apply what they learned (or think they learned) towards making a system themselves. Like with any skill, you want to flex it once you acquired it.
Crazy how becoming an expert on a creative subject and dedicating years to developing and discussing feedback on your unique perspective leads one to pursue creative endeavors
That creative endeavor: A 5e clone with Blades’ progress clocks slapped on top of it.
A lot of rpgs I see made this way go long way from 5e clone.
A lot of the games that I see coming out are faar from a “5e clone”. No need to be rude to people who are creative for not just playing pathfinder.
