If they wanted them to be unique stand-alone gods, they should have given them unique stand-alone designs and not gone "oh this character that looks 100% identical to Tiamat? yeah that's not-tiamat who's 110% different with no connections despite sharing her job description and personality" It...

Having played FF1, the FF1 Monk takes nothing at all from Fist of the North Star. Its just a flat out puncher. You can give it nunchucks but, they're useless once you hit level 8, and its a class with no magic or special abilities to do any Fist of the North Star esque techniques. Given the...

I reckon it ties into your point about D&D being awful for horror. Bluebeeard's Bride? You OOCly know the tale but you're buying into the idea of playing the bride specifically. Its leaning into the horror movie 'don't go in there!' type of vibe. D&D though? The way the game is doesn't support...

The giant praying mantids eating a guy doesn't reflect on people and its "well, that's a giant praying mantis". I don't see people having problems with that much in the same way no one really cares about lizardfolk doing the same. The small jungle-living half-sized people being described as...

Then what should I infer from people telling me they don't see the whole 'halflings slide way too close into the whole cannibal pygmy stereotype"? Because there's absolutely ways around it, but no talk on how to adjust things on how to go well. Just 'oh this TV show does the mega violence we're...

This legitimately came up up-thread. This "oh the setting is going to be ruined because we can't do whatever!" statements when there's been exactly zero announcement of anything is just making me question what people are so afraid is going to be removed given we can all agree Dark Sun has its...

Doctor Who's proudly a Monster of the Week show. And as mentioned, there remains a difference in the clearly non-human monster doing something like that compared to a human doing it. Daleks are inhuman monsters anyway you slice it And given people are going on saying there's "oh they're going...

Daleks are salt shakers who can't handle stairs and always get defeated by the end of the episode. Maybe they'll have a two parter if they're lucky They're a little different from tyrannical fascist dictators doing it en-mass to peoples, and slamming face first into racist stereotypes with the...

Probably the same reason they didn't want to call the DPS the DPS, or just preferring how it sounded compared to Support. I mean the problem with this is the bottom half of it because, well, 'Eberron Ravnica' doesn't really work, they're separate planes and unless they're trying to stack a...

If I can just be brutally honest? Folks saying 'oh dark sun never had orcs' are kind of. Missing that it does have them Tarek are just orcs. Fill an orc niche, look like orcs, they're kind of just a name swap on orcs, like how it had totally-not-lizardmen. There's a reason 4E said to just swap...

I mean, frankly, I think I could argue this is sort of the modern equivalent of Dragon. Fan submitted stuff that gets the publisher seal of approval and fits into that 'Yeah that's close enough to canon' space even though it was fan created originally.

Tortles are tortoise guys so they'd be fine in Dark Sun by my count. Now, Snappers, the chaotic counterpart to the Tortle who, unlike them, can swim? Yeah, they'd be in a bit of trouble in Dark Sun

Back in the day they had some limited stuff, though not much. The main thing is they build these stone structures on the beach that they lay their eggs in to protect them. Every single NPC would rather just go into their shell rather than fight back if you attacked them, this was repeated on...

Well, you're missing a complete breakdown of the experience and why it failed, outside of the obvious reason of "that's a $6,000 hotel" It went viral for a reason, y'know Yeah, I talk to people in real life. We call it "Bluesky". Do you talk to people in the real world like you do online...

I uh... Don't play umamusume. My gacha heart belongs to Limbus Company. Glory to Project Moon (I nearly got bitten by the Arknights bug, though. Miss you Mayors...) if you. want an okay bloodfiend team with ring yi sang and N Corp Ryoshu just shoved in as I've got nothing else better for that...
