as I post videos discussing issues in
0:02
the 2024 D and rules I'm seeing some
0:05
pretty common responses from folks
0:07
saying that if I don't like specific
0:09
rules I should just change them and sure
0:12
for an experienced party an experienced
0:14
table that can be a wonderful solution
0:17
if there's an issue in the rules that's
0:18
affecting your game yeah just agree on a
0:21
change to the system however we can't
0:24
consider that a Panacea that is not a
0:27
universal solution for the game
0:30
we people discussing these rules changes
0:34
these rules issues might feel very
0:35
confident in our understanding of the
0:37
mechanics of the game and our ability to
0:40
change those mechanics in ways that make
0:42
sense for our tables but we also need to
0:44
keep in mind we are not every table
0:48
people with our level of proficiency
0:50
with the game are not Universal and a
0:53
huge huge portion of the community does
0:56
not feel confident in their
0:58
understanding of the mechanics of the
0:59
game to the point that they feel
1:01
comfortable making significant changes
1:03
to the rules they might say like Hey
1:05
we're going to stay away from this piece
1:07
of content or that piece of content
1:08
because it doesn't work for whatever
1:10
reason but most tables are not confident
1:14
in their ability to change core parts of
1:17
the game or to even make minor Homebrew
1:20
adjustments because they don't have the
1:22
level of experience or the level of
1:24
mechanical understanding to do that and
1:26
feel confident that they're not breaking
1:29
something so we need the core rules we
1:33
need the official content to be good
1:36
enough and safe enough to play with that
1:39
the vast majority of tables can play the
1:42
game without running into these issues
1:44
that I'm trying to highlight the problem
1:47
is in the 2024 rules there are so many
1:51
traps in the rules so many broken
1:53
mechanics so many things that will just
1:56
absolutely tip the balance of the game
1:58
completely by accident
2:00
or just because the players are using
2:02
things exactly how they are written to
2:04
be used the 2024 rules are not in a
2:08
state which supports stable play from
2:12
players who are not experienced enough
2:14
to adjust the rules as needed
