D&D General Thaco the angry clown... really?

[Malmuria]

That's Wizards of the Coast sending a clear message that they are confident enough in the new fans to keep the game alive. They don't want anything to do with us grogs anymore, so they can afford mocking us.

Actually it's the opposite--an in-joke that only "grogs" will understand.

He guards the gate and blows bubbles.

So what your saying is he's a gatekeeper?

Fascinating.

This is solid snark from Wizards, and in a book many have said they will pass on because it doesn't appeal to them, safe one to throw a little dig out there with.

It earns a smirk from me.

What is the message of Wizards of the Coast including Warduke in Witchlight?

That the Warlord has finally been slotted into a specific level in the hierarchy of noble titles?
Count yourselves lucky he didn't get named a Warmarquis.

...that's a big stretch

Honestly, I highly doubt that many of the ornery grogs offended* by this even bought Witchlight, or much of anything else last 20 years or so. Those grogs already left WotC behind a loooong time ago.


* I mean truly offended, not pretend "internet offended".

This is why it's well done snark.

Can we be sure it's not a boojum?

I find it ironic when those same players who says ''nowaday kids have such a thin skin, you cant make joke about anything anymore, kids these day are offended by anything etc'' get angry because of a sad clown in a quirky fairytale adventure.

When I'll run it, he'll gain the mythic trait, and when bloodied, he'll gain a few traits such as:

• Advantage on all Charisma (Intimidation) against clouds.
• Can use a reaction to move a creature he can see that is standing on grass or other non-magical plants to a point of your choice within 30 ft.

Thag, the Thordsman: We did it, we slayed Thaco the Clown!

Melf the Melfish Magician: Cool cool! We search for treasure ....

DM: Well, you find a giant hoard of hard, yellow circles ....

Melf: Great! How much GP?

DM: Gold pieces? Oh ..... no. You seem to have found Thaco's trove of hard butterscotch candies.
