Hence why it is literally stated he will never find an heir because he cannot find anyone worthy. I thought I made it very clear. And everything else was still meaningless because each place was at mercy of Darklord whims and Darklords could not be removed either because if killed they'd just...

I played Origins and honestly, it is such a rare occurrence to have your race matters, it's honestly a joke. Origins was a good game, but is being held on a pedestal it doesnt' deserve. And yes, "race" is just a skin because it is not possible for humans to conceive a truly inhuman perspective...

Those are all human ideas of what inhuman and alien is like, therefore they are jsut human projection, assumptions inhuman or alien would lack what we take for granted. It's not an inhuman perspective, just a caricature of it through human perspective.

Those are all real people that exist and you can, I dunno, ASK THEM to understand their perspectives. It's reductive to compare them to made up fictional things that do not exist. It's an experience that taught me the players need enemies who are interesting individual people, and even an...

And yet whenever the players faqce them, the reaction is pretty much the same regardless what they're facing - it's in my way and I kill it. As I've said, unless an individual group did something unusual to distinguish itself, they were treated the same because tactics themselves do not give...

I mean in a sense, that you don't need designated "evil" race to be evil, players in my experience do not care if they fight Orcs or Goblins or Haflings. Unless you do something to make a group unique and memorable as individual group, it could all be endless army of clones of Larry from...

I wonder how a woman becomign a vampire is now "demonization of white American males.

And that';s why having "inherently evil" species is pointless, players don't care and all these roles could be easily taken by humans or other species.

Do you maybe have anything constructive to add? Part of one campaign where they could be replaced by cultists, single 4e adventure and a bunch of 5e adventures. I find it hard to beleive they were always potraying ad villainous when it seems more like a modern shift that got later corrected...

No, that is only one of many version of the Arthurian myth AND amounts to character image as little as Gandalf being an angel - no one thinks of that when trying to invoke common image of a "wise old wizard", the stereotype Merlin or Gandalf created. In fact, I recall when D&D 5e 2024 player's...

You might want to take interest in this little anime The Premise is two entities take people from human history at moment of death and send them to fight in a fantasy world, they can range from famous historical figures to a random WWII Kamikaze with whole airplane

I will gladly answer your questions once you're done fighting a strawman of my post and adress what I actually wrote.

Would you prefer that wa constantly had characters annoyingly pointing out how unusual it is to see a smart Orc or Tiefling paladin? I literally cannot think of single adventure where Kenku were ever used as villains. Closest is opening adventure in 2e's A Hero's Tale, and even then they're...

Are you reacting to another user's guess what happens in this book r what actually happens?

The other dnd novel published recently and new dnd comic has more traditional dnd party- the Fallbacks, where token Tiefling Bard is most unusual character alongside more tradiional class+species combinations. Of course, people called that party lineup boring, I guess you cannot please everyone
