D&D 5E D&D and who it's aimed at

[Vaalingrade]

Everything you need to run basic Sword and Sorcery is in the 5th edition PHB, MM, and DMG.

There is no shirtlessness or thews stat.

no shirtlessness

Monks and Barbarians don't count as that? (jk)

I don't want to have to create a spreadsheet listing all the ability score bonuses of the dozens of player ancestries in the game, and I don't want my players to have to reference such a spreadsheet. If they continue listing the ability score bonuses (and continue to implement them in the Roll20 character builder), no big deal.

Why would you need a spreadsheet? The player chooses ASI's and off you go.

Or, do you mean that you'd need a spreadsheet to hand to your players to tell them what ASI's go with which race?

 

[Hussar]

I dont know.

Your go-to for conan-esque is Dark Sun? Seriously?

???

How is this unclear?

In terms of something provided by TSR/D&D that I could quickly grab off a google search?

Yeah sure.

It isnt.

It's the Brom art.

Nothing. Everyone is free to do as they please with the game. This is a discussion pertaining specifically to the official content that Wizards publishes, products published by Wizards/TSR in the past, and in the case of myself and a few others, what they would not be willing to publish. Some people (whom I needn't point out) are incensed about this topic, and just happened to see this as a chance to vocalize their discontent.

Scribe is using "warriors with amoral motives adventuring for profit in a generally unpleasant world" (such as Dark Sun) as an example of something WotC has distanced themselves from. Also, art like this.


I know. My stance since the beginning of this thread has been that WotC is clearing out ideas that would not appeal to their target demographic in official content, not that D&D is being "ruined" or that people are somehow being barred from running whatever type of game they want.

What non-art always turns to art...

It'd be like those museum exhibits with the plastinated organs and stuff.

Right!? I hate those.

Actually, that sounds like a great idea for some kind of modded flesh golem. Better write that down.
