Agree to disagree. Though for the record you've yet to see me rant. That's not an option on these forums because politics are explicitly banned as a topic despite them quite obviously impacted the entire industry to an increasing amount each day.

Because a PDF or physical product doesn't require a subscription or internet. Nor can it be taken away from me whenever a corporation arbitrarily decides that maintaining a server is no longer worth the time or money. Nor can they one day do something akin to banning me for refusing to provide a...

Let them. If it ain't physical or in pdf format they won't get a dime of my money. Screw D&D beyond.

"The Gang Buys a House."

Look. I'll say it. I just want 3 things from my tabletop game: 1) The death of initiative or players who actually pay f%%%ing attention to the game and not just exclusively when it is their turn. 2) Players who actually understand how to play their f%%%ing characters. 3) Players who actually...

AI. Gross. If they aren't fairly compensating every artist and confirming if an artist is okay with their works being used as training data, it should not exist.

You mean like how they've already releast multiple player options/supplements on dndbeyond with zero intention of printing them already? There's a reason I've been a vocal critic of DnD Beyond since the beta and have called out precisely this sort of thing being inevitable since it's inception...

My fundamental issue with using Dexterity saves for firearms is that they completely discount armor and make it so that character who wear heavier armor are less like to succeed in avoiding them. Unless you are firing plasma or lasers, or are using modern bullets (which can NOT be manufactured...

So if I recall correctly, I remember an interview awhile back where one of the developers was talking about how the game is essentially designed with characters having a 14 in their primary stat, due largely because people weren't garanteed to have rolled well or have been the best optimizers...

We use point buy at our table with 30 points instead of 27. Gives a slight boost without completely messing up the game.

Now if only I could find players that want to actually play in person anymore. That's the real Christmas present I want as a DM!

You mean as opposed to the Warlock, which is also a gendered term for male spellcasters that also has the same dread domain that is negative cruel. The problem isn't the domain name. The issue is calling the class a "Witch", though of course the irony being that if they hadn't made a Witch...

I don't. Ever. I roll a damned character that wants to be in a party and isn't an a%&h%&e, or if they are, they are a fully fleshed out character with positive traits alongside their flaws and aren't just a stat-stick for me to deal big damage and be an excuse to be a&%h&%e to the other players...

Hey now, Kender have nothing to do with these stupidly broken Circle Casting rules. That's s&%t's a Toril/Fae'run thing. Ain't no damn spell weave bulls%$t in my Dragonlance games regardless of how much WotC tries to crowbar it into all of their other settings.

I understand what you are trying to say, and I'll agree to disagree that a dragon rider subclass is problematic or weird (it has just as much game history as the bladesinger wizard, if not more so), though even if we are accepting that the addition of the dragon pet to the PDK/banneret wasn't...
