    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    The hate in the scene is just awful, we are wotc free asap! D&D used to be a fun welcoming scene, now it's just bitterness from every direction. Thank goodness we have an awesome crew to play with that avoids all this hate and trash.

    D&D (2024) Check Out The New Map Of D&D's Planes!

    2014 5e up till around 4-5 or so years ago was relatively solid. The last several years it's taken a serious turn into the garbage dump, so yeah not feeling it any more. Once Volo and Mordenkainen, the original content got crapped on by wotc that was a good turning point marker. But when 2014 5e...

    D&D (2024) Check Out The New Map Of D&D's Planes!

    This is not working for me... everything I see from "6e" is pretty much been a miss. There is just really no way I can get into this version. Sigh, oh well we bailed on 4e as well, although we at least did a sincere trial campaign before we stopped using it. 6E I think we know it's not even...

    D&D General When did you leave D&D? Why? For what game? And what brought you back?

    OG D&D, then 1e ad&d, long break (most of 2e)... then back for 3e. (and 3.5e) Left after a legit try at 4e, ran a campaign and everything, just didn't jive with our gaming groove. We went to mainly Savage Worlds Beasts & Barbarians, ran a whole excellent campaign. Came back for 2014 5e, stoked...

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    I'm not repulsed by a group of people, happy, enjoying life, and at peace. I have lot's of family photos just like this I love. Not connected to my disdain of this art for "d&d". I don't like the art in any way, the style, the characters, the actions... nothing about it gets me stoked to play...

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    Haha, even my 10 year old son will think this all lame as could be. He'll probably wonder if this is even d&d or come other game for for his younger cousins or something.

    D&D (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook Reveal #1: "Everything You Need To Know!"

    Yeah I pretty much despise all of this art, the style of it, the "feel", all of it is just so lame to me, it's just awful, but hey that's me. I imagine in turn the "game" it has become is not for me at all either any more. There is absolutely nothing about this art that makes me go, "That looks...

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    I gotta say your games sound like the most boring generic thing possible, is it even a game, do they go anywhere with a name or naw, that's too much? Seriously why even play d&d, why not just do something else and get rid of all that unnecessary stuff, like names and stats and dungeons and...

    Agreed, Warlock is a great fit for a S&S setting, I for sure never said it wasn't.

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    We get it, you don't like the GH setting, it sure seems like you are hating on the setting just for the heck of it. No matter what anyone says you just repeat the same thing regardless, over and over, not even taking into account what is being said when it counters your criticism. That's just...

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    I feel there is a huge difference between FR and GH, the whole vibe is so different for me. I don’t really like the over the top HF of FR, but really enjoy the more old school gritty S&S vibe of GH. For me the difference is big. I’ll play FR but when I run it I tone it down. Also never realized...

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    I’m saying I’m not here to make a long list of differences between GH and other settings for you, do your own homework. Sounds like you believe there aren’t any and thus the setting would be pretty worthless since all other settings cover all it does. I disagree but you got it all figured out so...

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    Ok whatever, disagreeing about what? Also lots of adventure paths and modules set in GH, plus all the fan content active to this day. Read a setting book if you want to learn more about the differences between FR and GH. Oh I don’t put it passed wotc to have zero explanation for anything added...

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    There is... I am not going to write a lore and world setting essay here. There are plenty of books out there you can look over at your leisure that cover both settings. Your opinion of the GH setting and mine are different. I find much more value in it then you do. That's ok, for example, I...

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    Of course I have an idea what the flavor or integrity of the Greyhawk is, I've been using the setting forever. Good grief, I was being sarcastic to show the ridiculousness having defend such begin simple concept. I am not going to write a complete lore guide, those already exist. Just read one...

    D&D (2024) Greyhawk Confirmed. Tell Me Why.

    It’s not all or nothing, this is more of the absurd absolutes I keep encountering. Lore, the lands, people and places of the world lays the foundation and inspiration, of course it matters. It’s literally the story and reason for the world, it’s what makes it exist, so yeah important. Grand vs...
