    You can't have Sephiroth without Elric, and Sephirot basically defines 90% of what weeb girls want yeah.

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    And collecting hypersexualized child-faced girl is more gender neutral? I am sorta in those game's fandoms so I know that this new popular media also has racism and sexism but are still popular.

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    Topic has slightly drifted but I'm throwing a hat into the ring. I don't think that the problematic elements of Conan is an insurmountable issue for modern audiences--Let's not beat around the bush and say stuff like Isekai and gachas are really that progressive.

    Yeah, what I'm trying to find is what are those evergreens now? Aside from LotR ofc.

    D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

    Look, Conan hasn't been relevant for over a decade at this pont and while certain trapping of Sword-n-sorcery still exists the genre as a whole is far from any influence these days. So what are the genres and media that do have an influence these days? Doesn't have to be actual literature ofc...

    D&D 5E 2024 D&D is 2014 D&D with 4E sprinkled on top

    Because while it's 'all' D&D, I want more of my D&D and less of that kind of D&D.

    D&D 5E 2024 D&D is 2014 D&D with 4E sprinkled on top

    Yes. No two ways about it. Or more accurately is that the majority of new players unknowingly eschew against that style.

    I think future DnD should do away with attrition being a big part of balancing.

    H ow about arule that says that a martial literally cannot die during the the first encounter of the day? And that they can never run out of ammo?

    I do unironically want worlds where stuff like blade wind attacks to be part of normal combat tactics. Why yes, Knight-Captain, the fact that your stomps can't crack the earth is the reason your stuck in some podunk town.

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    I also don't like older designs.

    D&D General Why grognards still matter

    Repeated: I use grognared only in the most derisive way imaginable, I have not an iota of respect when I use the term

    Guns & Gears Remastered Review

    The benefit of a semi-free database is that updates like this are generally more accepted; But also because G&G's classes are either a dud(inventor) or clunky(Gunslinger)

    A javelin throw in general is magic, I mean a bunch of wet strings pulling on living rocks to throw a sharp piece of metal? Magic!
