    D&D 5E (2024) D&D's Upcoming Digital Tabletop

    They talk about user produced content (good) being able to be shared (good), but they also refer to is as a "marketplace" so I suspect it will be shared like Roll20's marketplace, and they will take a cut of anything sold on it. I also notice the Ankheg was labelled Ankheg (painted), I really...

    D&D 5E (2024) D&D's Upcoming Digital Tabletop

    Yeah at least that is a shared experience then. But I think that video with them sat round the table with laptops is misleading. They are clearly talking about a VTT for remote play. They are just round a table for the demo, but in reality they would all be in different places. I would like to...

    Player-driven campaigns and developing strong stories

    Then make the Players the authority figures. This is what Kingdom by Lame Mage does. All the players are the "rulers" of the Kingdom, be they advisors, wealthy individuals, influencers or an actual King. No prep and no GM, so there can be any GM Railroading. The nature "Kingdom" is decided by...

    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    I'm not sure that's true, as both Nude Descending a Staircase and the Second Law of Thermodynamics have some worth. But do you agree that some opinions aren't worth as much as others. Just so we are clear.

    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    Sure but some of the people in this thread have also been stark and without nuance. They have said there is no place for slavery for example.

    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    What do you actually mean by "heard and respected" though? If more people like "sexist" art, do we keep it in, or don't we because "everybody deserves to be heard and respected"? Do we teach flat earth theory in schools because everyone deserves to be heard and respected. If say 99% of people...

    I think you were closer with removed as there are those saying it should not appear at all, because it is unwelcoming and other like myself that think there is still a place for it in RPGs.

    Battletech Mercenaries KS Launched

    I'd be interested but it seems much more like a minis campaign, rather than a campaign to actually produce a decent set of Mercenary company rules to support a campaign play.

    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    Again highly unlike anyone can prove that, so why ask? Also I know plenty of men would have liked those images (myself included), do you think removing them has caused the men to leave the hobby in the same number as women that may have joined it? Or do you think that while people may well...

    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    Nah, I think that's too big an ask. You aren't going to be able to prove that, and there are some valid reasons for generally not featuring slavery. I'm all for it not being part of a core setting like Forgotten Realms, even okay for companies like Paizo deciding not to have it as a plot device...

    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    I'm not sure I want the part of the market that thinks the illustrations in the current any PHB could be "dangerous", in the game. Thanks. At least not if they are going to want to change it to fit their world view. I'm glad we have got people in the hobby that might have considered...

    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    I don't believe all opinions matter. I perfectly happy to listen to all opinions, but it is stupid to believe all opinions matter. I do not value the opinion of a flat-earther over, and astronaut over the shape of the planet. I actually believe all opinions deserve to be heard, even offensive...

    What We Lose When We Eliminate Controversial Content

    Totally is, who's opinions I believe are valid or have worth is totally up to me. Not all opinions are of equal value, and certainly random folks on twitter rank way below people I meet in person or actual experts. The point is being offended by itself doesn't matter, not without context and...

    So not a problem from this century millennium then... I mean most people playing probably weren't even born when that came out.

    Page 25? The weirdly draw halfling, yes having a huge head like Mr. Mackey off South Park is an unrealistic body image. Page 29 - A pretty normal looking black woman. Not overweight but not slim, can't tell if she is muscled, in her 20's. Page 38 - A white male elf, again in their 20's by human...

    Give me a prompt and i'll make an image

    Top two aren't bad looks a bit too modern, I wonder if tweaking the prompt you can make the stones taller and granite, and change the atmosphere to foreboding and dark.

    D&D General Which Enworlders do you want to game with?

    Well when you eventually give in and let me run Call of Cthulhu instead of D&D, I suspect the argument will have been be longer, than the time it takes for me to get the first TPK.
