I Have a concept that i have been dying to run but would be even more excited to play in. The PCs are teens in a semi-remote archipellago, and its time for their coming of age rituals. The islands are near a trade hub and thus any species is playable except humans. In session 0 the group...

EH, a spell thwt already creates bad gameplay being amplified if used adversarially isn't gonna come across as a question askrd in good faith, so my players would just as why the hell im pulling that sort of thing. They would rightly and rightfully tell me to stop being vvwe Not lileu to be...

This is such an absurd reach. Give an example. Hell you said most so give 3 examples of major villains that are 'lone wolves'. All of your criticisms are either false, exagerated, or also true of your precious Faerun.

Which has no direct bearing to what you said in your quote reply. This is a lie. or you could not lie about what I said after replying to it nonsensically.

I think this shows why I don’t have much respect for Mearls as a game designer, compared to others in the D&D design alumni. Legendary Resistance could be more interesting, sure, but it’s a great mechanic that adds a layer of strategy to fights that isn’t there without it, just like legendary...

Dungeons - Almost never Dragon - kind rarely New name would be…Cities and Capitalists? Mostly joking, but I do use humanoids more than any other creature type, and oligarchy of some kind as the ultimate evil, usually as much about greed and consolidation of power as about anything cosmological.

I like weaving, but I don’t have a great naming phrase for it yet.

Okay? What’s that got to do with what I was saying? No. No one has claimed that the Drunken Master is the main part of any problem, least of all me.

Okay so moving past people trashing on the setting with nothing to say… The Wildemount book is very very good. I wish more setting books were set up like this book. The sections on each city is just wonderfully done. The first Taldorei book is kinda weak imo, I’d skip it. The setting has a...

Dragonlance caught on because the novels resonated, and only because the novels were populated. I love DL but it isn’t all that inventive as a setting. It’s a cool world that was the setting of a beloved story, but if you just put out a setting guide today without those novels ever existing, no...

No, it doesn’t. That literally isn’t even accurate to the setting. The betrayers were on the side of the primordials against the primes, but for all sorts of reasons, and many of them were, again as I said before, in it for personal vendettas against one or more of the primes or humanity. So...

That can also be said about every other setting.

No, you’re just being pedantic. There is no meaningful difference between the two phrases. The gods don’t have to be worshipped to exist, my dude. The only people worshipping Asmodeus are power hungry who don’t care what his ultimate goals are. Frankly it would make even more sense to just...

Agreed. Just break it entirely away from the drunken master. Or, if the issue is more that some people didn’t like the theme and the name was harder to construct as Warrior of X, lean further into the weaving through and around enemies and the reactive aspect of the subclass mechanically and...

if my cousin who has actually grown up identifying and being identified as a Mexican makes a joke about Mexicans or parodies a Mexican media trope or the like, it isn’t racist. If I do it, it is racist. Even if I learned the joke from him. Now the original 5e Drunken Master does a decent job...
