I must have misunderstood your point. My apologies. That said: S&D having attribute point buy does not in any way make it a "point based" game, especially in a way that makes talking about those choices relative to Hero make sense.

I don't even know what you are talking about here. The Hero example doesn't make any sense in context. D&D is not a point based game. What does Hero have to do with low Int in D&D?

I get you on immediate anxiety. Still.happens at cons for me sometimes (not so much "home games"). If there is a part about GMing -- which i love, snd far prefer to playing -- that i force myself to deal with, rather than do out of joy, it is learning rules. Even when I want you try a new game...

Why would you think that, specifically?

These things are not remotely the same. In Hero, a player chose a disadvantage, giving the GM explicit permission to include elements of that disadvantage insofar as the rules allowed (frequency being a MAJOR component here). A player rolling a low Int is not the same thing.

Some sci-fi up in this fantasy house

The issue isn't IF they are doing new books. The question is when and why are announcements taking do long

Honestly, this is yhe same sentiment that will cede TTRPGs to AI: casual fans DO NOT CARE.

Explain how. I see roleplaying as a response to input. Solo RPGs don't generally provide that.

MotM is the worst D&D book I ever bought. An absolute scam.

Int 4 Wis 17

I mean, all solo RPGing is "low on roleplay" isn't it?

then why is Wisdom the chief Cleric stat? ;)

For me personally (again, I am not poo-pooing writing focused solo rpgs in general) the less I have to make up, the more fun the game is. So give me concrete random tables and oracles, and good tactical options for enemies (something like the way monsters work in Dragonbane could be useful)...

I don't disagree, but here we are.

Then you have the issue of how the other uses of the stats can muddle things. I want to play a super creepy Warlock who stinks of brimstone and gives the evil eye to children -- but I also have a 20 charisma! What?

Upon catching up to A Knight of Seven kingdom with Episode 5, I am angry at myself for not waiting until all the episodes were out. This show is definitely better as a binge. it feels like a long movie, rather than a series. This got me wondering what shows people felt were better binged versus...

Those books are going to need new printings eventually. I think WotC will taker the opportunity to update at least some of them.

No. they acknowledge that Int modifies certain die rolls, so those aspects must be relfected. But that isn't the only thing these examples do. None of the D&D stats are simple or one dimensional. They are by their natures very broad and abstract. That means we have lots of room to interpret...
