The "I Didn't Comment in Another Thread" Thread

[Malmuria]

Apropos of nothing (which makes this thread perfect) I feel a great sense of Schadenfreude (which isn't something I usually feel) for the developers of Untamed Isles. I didn't back the Kickstarter, but apparently they hid the fact from backers that they used a big portion of the cool half-mill they made on KS to invest in crypto. Now that the ass has dropped out of the crypto market, they are closing up shop -- and NOT refunding any backers. I feel bad for the backers, many of whom were apparently unaware they were using funds for crypto investment, despite the fact that they mention it on the project page.

kickstarter and crowd funding needs to be better regulated. And, as it relates to ttrpgs, maybe we should stop the endless "$1M kickstarter!!!" hype train that is mostly a dice and plushies sub-hobby.

The weeks/months of discussion we are going to see regarding races, classes, gods?

Some people on this site are really getting really, really angry over an argument that is literally just semantics. I don't care what you call it, the name is not as important as the contents of the thing you're referencing.

It's really just a new edition of an old argument.

What is this crud-ite y'all keep going on about. Fossilized dino-droppings?

Sad to say that I already feel burnt out on new edition talk in the 8 months 26 hours since WotC dropped the announcement.

I'm about that Chaos. I was just on the road all night yesterday.

Spoiler: Short rant about a thread that got revived

Ugh, that thread about the Radiant Citadel got revived. I know I should feel happy that I was right about the book not being "kiddy D&D", but the fact that it was revived just brings back the frustration that so many people got extremely angry at the book for having bright colors.

Was there an edition war going from 4th to 5th?

Sad to say that I already feel burnt out on new edition talk in the 8 months 26 hours since WotC dropped the announcement.

It can't be an edition war is this isn't a new edition. They made it perfectly clear in the video.

I fully expect player A to be critted by monsters and crit with his spells while player B will only be subject to recharge attack. After the next non-edition, retrocompatibility will be improved so A and B can play alongside player C, who will roll initiative in order to get to Broadwalk and buy it first (using his micro-transactionned limousine token).

Just so there's a record of evidence when I turn out to be wrong. . . my prediction for my three (so far) D&D setting polls are as follows:

• Forgotten Realms: Overwhelmingly leaning towards "True"
• Greyhawk: Leaning significantly towards "False"
• Eberron: About 50/50 or maybe 40/60 in either direction.

For the record, at this point:
Eberron: 56%
Groghawk: 61%
Homebrew: 73%
Forgotten Realms: 84%
