Have they ever played DnD before?
They either haven't played it or they absolutely give zero f*&#s that the rules were actually designed to make the game fun
through limitations sometimes.
And there is also a pattern of ignoring all actual D&D mechanics in the process. Where are the skill checks and saving throws??? It's just 95% to execute some OP homebrew double action move. With a lot of lava / rivers / pits thrown in for instant kills.
Quite right. If I was a player in a tabletop game where the DM wanted to
throw in (pun intended) these houserules and homebrewed mechanics, at first I probably would have thought, "hmmm sounds like it could be fun." Of course then, when I witnessed the mind-numbing hilarity and brokenness of what you can actually do with it, I would have begged for a change. Seems like a lot of players have been begging for a change on these threads for the duration. Also seems like they're being wholesale ignored. Fix Shove? Nah, how about we make it twenty times worse by adding in a Throw-Anything-at-all-ever-wherever-you-want-right-to-death mechanic that we pulled out of our arseholes.
Oof, okay, just oof.
@GM4Him, you and I must be long lost Boomer twins or something, because when I read your posts, I'm reading my own thoughts.
