It’s easier and nicer. But it’s also shitty because of what you mentioned.
The thing is, that’s how it’s going to stay unless people stop using it. You can get this info you mentioned somewhere else, or simply don’t need it, as I said, yes it’s harder and less nice to live without it, but it’s not like you can’t live without live traffic data or whatever. Start using CoMaps, contribute to open street map, leave reviews on other review aggregators, etc etc
I’m definitely one of the ones alienated by the OGL shit. However, since I haven’t had a group since and my hyperfocus on TTRPGs/DnD ended, I don’t actually have any idea what people moved to, and this article talks abstractly but doesn’t mention any examples.
What are some actual systems that encourage ease of DMing, that this article would call “fifth generation TTRPG”?
You really don’t get having to pay for things, do you?
