YouTube: I am such a Fool! #dnd5e

Table Top Family is hitting it out of the park on these, and this is the 3rd video I am linking to in three posts. Save yourself time by subscribing and liking over there, but this video is pure gold.

Beware of companies that create problems and then sell you the solutions to them.

It's an old trick, the 'snake oil salesperson bait and switch scam,' unfortunately, it has made its way into tabletop gaming. And they prey on people with compulsive tendencies, which is just a disgusting business tactic.

I admit, 5E (pick your version) all look great, and every image and book 'promises fun,' but when you pull up the veneer, you see the same mobile-game tactics of lock-in and forced purchases that are the predatory bane of everything in gaming and big tech right now.

Why can't the games be 'designed to be straightforward' and not need all these electronic tools and VTTs?

The answer is simple: money.
