    I don’t really have a lot of empathy for people who don’t want to learn a new rule system.

    First off, most of those people barely know 5e to begin with. You could swap them into another system and they’d probably perform about as well.

    Aside from that, maybe they don’t mean to sound anti-intellectual, but they kind of do. It’s okay to read and learn new things. I’ve had potential players put up more of a fight than it would’ve taken to just read the thing.

    Related, I think there’s like a literacy crisis. Many people don’t seem to read or think great.

    Wait, that is not a joke

    I haven’t played Traveller, but isn’t d20 power creep inflation a bit not in line with Traveller’s more gritty/realistic power curve?

      Oh, yeah. They even talked about exactly that on the Enworld podcast/stream - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxzQ84JQozk - In D&D 5e, you are heroes (more or less). In Traveller, not so much. You can do space opera type games with 5e, I mean I enjoyed playing in Starfinder (1st edition, haven’t played 2nd) campaigns. I have enjoyed Traveller games too, but those systems really don’t seem to mesh.
