Is 5e D&D The Most Overrated RPG Product Ever Made?

Hi guys! Welcome to my new series! Joe Bloch, the Greyhawk Grognard, and I had a long conversation. Here's a clip where he lays out his argument that 5e D&D is the most overrated RPG product ever made. Enjoy!

Joe's been a core member of the OSR since the early blog days. He's a very successful indy publisher with his own old school ruleset, and he has published one of the largest megadungeons ever written.

I'm going to continue with my regular interviews with RPG Industry Professionals. These won't be the standard 15 minute surface level interviews that exist solely for someone to pimp their product. Following in the footsteps of Joe Rogan and Lex Fridman, I plan to go deep. I expect each interview to last at least 2 hours if not 3. We'll get into the guest's personal life, gaming history, and how they got into publishing RPG products. Then we will get into the ins and out of publishing, so you can learn from their experience.

Ideally I'd like for these interviews to serve as a motivational video series to help encourage more people in the hobby to publish their own stuff. I plan to get into some technical details so we can demystify the experience, and so you'll see that you can also do it with a little hard work and determination.

I hope you enjoy it!
