The point of the Crab Bucket is that no one gets out. No matter how good you think you are, the grasping weight of your community will still ruin your life.You definitely broadened the applicability of the faux-fallacy there.

Yeah, Spelljammer uses turn of the previous century science fiction premises combined with D&Disms. People forget or deny that sci-fi and fantasy used to be the same genre until the late 70s/early 80s.
Well so was the concept of light traveling through the ether & the etheral realm but I've got to agree spelljammer had nothing scientific. spelljammer was published after both sputnik along with the apollo missions that brought live human beings to & from the moon. Spelljammer made buck rogers & flash gordon look like they were some kind of extreme hard scifi written exclusively for physicists

I'd have a different take, because if WotC did the same thing TSR did after releasing 5e, the company would have went bankrupt by now with the D&D IP being auctioned off to the four winds and we wouldn't get anything any longer.
2e was great for the gamer until the deluge of product all came to roost and suddenly we were looking at the death of the biggest RPG out there.

Old Spelljammer was derived from old scientific theory. I don't know what they were trying to do with the new stuff.

At the end of the day, it all worked out. And if WotC had done what you say with 5e, the stuff they did put out before collapse would have been both more plentiful and probably more to my liking.
Those are magic swordsmen.
I mean flas stepping, quick dashing, air slashing, super punching, spirit channeling swordsmen of Asian and African myth.
That is the tamest pro wrestler ever. Where's the "Cut a promo" and Finishing move.
Why? We got warforged.
Was thinking something more bizarre or otherworldly.
Like Beholderman or Uncanny Valley Clones
BIG FREAKING SWORDS.
And they all focus too much on the master than the pet.

You are small at best.
I want to play a pixie piloting a fey mecha. Construct and Organic at the same time.
That's not a werewolf. I want to have 2 character sheets.

Pretty sure that 3e reserve feats were the root of at-will cantrips.Pathfinder 1e does many things better. If it lifted them from 4e I don't know.
If 4e is the root of at will cantrips, well that's damning enough.
