A great video today on how we are "losing our way" and how the ordinary person is becoming extinct in our games. Everyone is in a race to create the most unique, special, extraordinary outsiders who exist only to pursue their own plots and narratives. Please watch the video all the way through, like, and subscribe! Thoughtful, engaging content needs support!
Ordinary people do not exist anymore.
Especially in adventuring.
This is why DCC still holds a lot of power, with everyone explicitly starting as a zero-level commoner with straight 3d6-down-the-line stats, it keeps the genre's feet on the ground. If you begin fantastically, then nothing is fantastic. DCC keeps the heart of the game beating and strong.
I would skip the D&D-style of game today and grab a superhero game for fantasy. This is the ultimate end of where this is all going. Forget classes and races, just grab a character, say whatever race you are, and what that does, and load yourself up with superpowers. Even the concepts of "class" and "race" are meaningless if "everyone is special and unique."
Why use 5E? Just use a superhero game for fantasy.
You can be something even more unique and interesting.
Your powers will never be limited by a class.
And you can be anything you can imagine.
No one else will be like you.
