Snippets should be agnostic #3336

Closed 5e-Cleric closed 4 months ago

5e-Cleric commented 4 months ago

we can't have agnostic themes and offer snippets RPG based in them, all tables in blank theme should be rewritten to use mundane text, and the current version moved to PHB

I think its ok if the generic table snippet still has RPG-related content. Is there some major downside you are concerned about?

Even moving away from DnD, the Homebrewery is primarily a tool for RPGs. And even for those using it for other purposes, is what we have really a bad thing?

If we change the content of the tables, the only thing left to link it to RPGs is the system tags and the name of the tool, do we want to stay into RPGs or move into full agnostic? i write everything in this tool, even university stuff.

Well, Naturalcrit and Homebrewery have always been RPG focused (it's in the name). There are other Markdown editors out there, but the RPG focus is what gives Homebrewery its unique identity.

People can of course use it for other tasks, but I don't see a big reason to move away from our RPG roots. And I don't see why "Experience points - Level - Proficiency Bonus" would be any worse than other generic text for a table.
