I've taken another look at D&D5E with as open of a mind as my old ass can muster for it, and I think I have changed my opinion a bit. But just a bit. It is still an incomplete game (no meaningful exploration rules or ways for players to interact with exploration in a meaningful way beyond circumventing the "hassle", for example), and it is still the worst TRPG to carry the name Dungeons and Dragons. But I don't think it's the worst thing to ever become popular in the TRPG world anymore. In fact, if you port in the dungeon exploration turn from BX D&D and do one other fix it might become a decent game. The problem is however the other fix is too large to just homebrew. Non-casters are boring non-classes that present the illusion of thematic archetypes while not doing anything truly unique or special.

When the Sol Star Empire sent out its colony ships to spread humanity to the stars, each of the nine exploratory fleets were assigned three languages each and all of the prospective colonists on each one had to speak at least one of those languages (or a close dialect) with preference for people who spoke two or three. Exploratory fleet 3, which colonized the world now known as Earth 37 "Angelus" was assigned Japanese, English, and Spanish and drew heavily from Japan and the west cost of north and central America. This is why Angel City the main arcology of Angelus feels like a Californian "japan town".

Due to conflicting work schedules and my own health, the game has been on a soft hiatus. I do have a session rundown to give, but it was a short one and I'd rather combine it with another session's post. I've been mostly working on a rewrite of Instant Legend  and getting the plugins ready for Instant Fuzion Gaiden to start REDSHIFT or Power Rangers High Caliber , as I have at least three or four sessions worth of content ready for my BX/OSE game. Thank you for your patience.
