[QUOTE="ninjayeti, post: 9333153, member: 6789120"] I think it depends on what you believe D&D should be. For instance, Matt Coleville talks a lot about older editions of D&D (see his recent bit on how adventures were better back in the good old days). But he doesn't talk at all (to my knowledge) about Fate, PbtA, or similar games. I imagine this is because he doesn't think that D&D would benefit from being more like those games. He is not tying to address the "problems" that those games "solve" as the OP alludes to. He just thinks D&D needs better boss fights, shorter adventures, and rules for building strongholds. That seems legit. He is not purporting to give you[B] every[/B] perspective on what RPGs can offer, just his own perspective on how to run an awesome session of D&D. Do you have an example of someone who you believe DOES do this? Because it seems like a bit of a straw man. The one YouTuber/Blogger who I think does hold themselves out as having "it all figured out" is Justin Alexander. And I don't think you can criticize him for only knowing about 5E (criticizing him for pretty much anything else is totally fair). I think most are pretty candid about giving opinions based on their own experiences and not claiming to be dispensing the wisdom of Solomon. Matt Coleville has a video where he [I]denies[/I] that he is an objectively great DM. GinnyDi talks about overcoming her stress and anxiety as a new DM in a way that I think is relatable because she is not that far out from that experience. [/QUOTE]
