The idea behind Starfinder seems good & all, but the system is not something I would ever want to play. I wish WOTC would do 5e space opera.

I love Star Frontiers, but my I have to admit that if I did this it would be like 40% to do a 5e-driven game w/o bonus actions. #wotcstaff https://t.co/4N8Kx6NKfF

Bonus actions are fairly hacky, and with 3+ years running the final game under my belt it's now obvious how to live without them. #wotcstaff

@mikemearls Do share, how do you live without them?

You just need to glue the appropriate actions together – for instance, Two-Weapon Fighting is just a special attack action. #wotcstaff https://t.co/b5mTWl8z93

Instead of there being an Attack action, you'd have Attack as a category with new class-exclusive options added to it. Cleaner design.

With all that said, nothing that requires a new edition. We'll do that when players and DMs ask for it. No where near that now. #wotcstaff
