Anyone care to place bets that the 6th or 7th Edition of D&D, in a decade or two, is just a lot of fluff to disguise the fact the game has become “I shot you, fall down!” “Nuh-uh!” and the DM just sides with whichever they like better? For the last five years or so Wizards has been getting closer and closer to “there is no rule except Rule Zero (‘GM has final say’)”.

#spelljammer got rid of almost all the ship combat rules from the previous version #yes why would i want a detailed ship combat game in my MAGIC SPACE PIRATE setting?#they could make those rules two-tier #one basic for their key demo of dullards and one fully fleshed out for people that ACTUALLY LIKE SPELLJAMMER #then again they had a five-person design team and a SEVEN-person marketing team #so that really tells you all you need to know #they had to add the quasielemental plane of salt back to the inner planes just for me
