Dungeon and Dragon. There is a ton of TTRPG out there and things like Level up 5e are direct replacement with better content.
Hell even just D&D 3.5e is better than 5e imo. Though I mostly play Pathfinder 2e nowadays (I'd be happy with Pathfinder 1e as well).
Just 5e is boring as hell to both DM and to play.
undefined> 5e is boring as hell to both DM and to play.
My experience this is 100% the group, the system is secondary to the quality of DM and other players. A good group will have fun in any system.
Out of curiosity, are you using some kinda app? Cause I've been seeing comments, including yours, contain "undefined>" and it doesn't seem to be either a Lemmy or kbin thing. Maybe a misfunctioning app?
Sort of. I personally a more engaged with the system if it's more mechanically intensive and provides a lot of character customization options (such as feats at every level or every other level from leveling up), with lots of actual hard rules to follow and not just guidelines.
5e is not mechanically intensive enough for me.
Ha I run a game store and it's finnally good to see things like Blades in the Dark, Mork Borg, Alice is Missing, Avatar, Cyberpunk, and Pathfinder knock a percent or two into the D&D Market share.
