D&D General Millennial D&D (+)

[Charlaquin]

The generations coming after us hate us?

Mostly just Zoomers. And they don’t really hate us - the Milennial/Zoomer animosity is mostly pretty tame. They mostly just think we’re painfully cringe. I’ve also seen some of the “Milennials are lazy” sentiment rub off on Zoomers, and some consider us politically ineffectual.

Wizards will now be obligated to disclaim their school as problematic, and justify their class choice on the basis of “separating the magic from the mage.”

There was an off-hand comment about making D&D appeal to Millennials a few days ago, and I can't stop thinking about it.

So in a gently teasing way, what would that look like?

(Again: This is not a dump-on-Millennials thread. This is not a Comedy Central roast. These should be loving tropes, not sick burns.)

everyone gets a "you are a winner point" at every long rest, you can't spend them they are useless and do nothing... but you get them

edit: oh and the devs that made the "you are a winner point" will also complain "this is why everyone is lazy, they all get winner points"

4e was the Millennial edition.

Came out in a financially tumultuous time, never really got a chance to be successful due to factors outside its control, hated by the generations before and after it. Checks out.

Oh wow. I can't un-see this.
Maybe we'll be appreciated after we're gone!

I want more anime in my D&D. We could have invisible guns with suction cup bullets you guys, that would be awesome.

Seeing Millennials are 80s and 90s kids, there would be a whole section on Gang/Clique/Faction wars and rep.

Happens every time.

20 becomes an adult
50 becomes an elder
70 becomes a sage

Happens every time.

Which is interesting because each generation’s culture is heavily influenced by media created by artists from the generation before it.
