Ironically enough, I generally can barely stand D&D these days, and much prefer systems like Blades In The Dark, Powered By The Apocalypse, Ironsworn/Starforged, etc., so please understand that while my criticism comes from a place of cited reference, in no way do I support the tactical "storytelling" that WotC sells to the unwitting and the brand-loyal. In fact, it seems that we're of very similar mind, after all. 🤗❤️
edit: I'd like to point out that I had the "privilege" of playing in a game that Gygax ran at GenCon back in the day, and Colville's "style" is cut from similar cloth. Some might enjoy it, but I genuinely wish the flyleaves of rulebooks still assured readers that the book's contents were merely guidelines to assist imagination among their group.
