I wonder why the rpg cmommunity is first to complain people only play dnd and first to act with this level of dismissal to anything new. Seriously, the venn diagram between people who get mad at dnd fans for playing dnd and who are first to call Daggerheart and Draw Steel fantasy heartbreakers...

I have few ideas, one of which is to have Pazuzu target PCs themselves, giving his name away in Fiend of Hollow Mine, hoping they will spread it among the Citadel, thus giving everyone it reaches a temptation to call on him. And seeing pretty much all leadership of Citadel is his prefered victim...

Must that be a Devil? because I always felt that Pazuzu would work fantastic as a Big Bad for Radiant Citadel: He targets the most pure and good things and people for corruption, boderlinely utopian Radiant Citadel is perfect target for him He offers his services for pure souls and...

I remember humorus post from Order of the Stick forums, that basically went: Calling a Wizard "Sorcerer" is telling someone with PhD they only got it thanks to a natural talent. Calling a Wizard "Warlock" is paramount to accussing that person with PhD of getting it by sleeping with the dean.

Dunno if it was posted, but Crispy's Tavern did an interview with Matt Mercer on youtube that may explain simple reason why CR uses Daggerheart - Mr. Mercer mentions he and Brennan Lee Mulligan were working on a campaign for the latter to run for years, so it is very possible that campaign 4 was...

That doesn't mean it's a bad rule and as designed and thus intended by the designers, the Patron is a non-entity who bears nominal effect of the plot if at all, not an NPC Warlock could interact with (tbh best part of being a Warlock).

The rules literally tell you you don't, it's just some whispers in your head or eyes in the dark, but generally you cannot know before you select your patron as subclass on level 3

RAW in 2024 Warlcok does not and cannot know who their patron is before level 3 and DM is not allowed to have them directly interact with the patron before level 10, because level ten feature specifies that before Warlock reaches this level, patron can only communicate through agents, never...

I do have a question how is this going to interact with Warlock being effectively a non-entity in 2024 rules. It kinda kills the whole vibe dead on the spot.

We could have whole separate thread about how exactly ideology is built into D&D at its core, it has been examined and subject of criticism for years. All art is political because it is ,even at subconcious level, shaped by political views of the creator and political climate of the time and...

You really cannot. ESPECIALLY if you listen to what studios or executives say. In video games we can look at titles like Concord or Suicide Squad: Kil lthe justice League, who were very clearly micromanaged by studios and executives to ensure the widest broad appeal as possible, and both flopped...

9 times out of 10 network interferences are bad, are you really asking for more of it?

I don't know how to tell you but these people were saying "we will never get Dark Sun Back because WotC/D&D had gone WOKE!" for YEARS, they have been this mad long before the actual process was even greenlighted.

Let me guess: You people as in "people who see conversation very directly making fun of dogwhistling racists in the hobby and their knee-jerk reaction is to assume it is making fun of them on the most tangential, flimsy connection"?

The conversation we had was clearly not about "veryone who doesn't like updating the world for Modern Audiences" but people who were using very blatant dogwhistle of 5e/WotC being "too woke" to ever release Dark Sun again. You are the only person doing this, my original post was in itself...
