From Platos Republic and Horace's Ars Poetica; to Tertullian, Augustine of Hippo, and Christine de Pizan; to Leonardo da Vinci and John Calvin; and many others, on through the industrial revolution and into today; history is full of people complaining about others' "tweeny" tastes. If the...

Curous how old you are. This isn't a set up. I had a conversation with my son and his girlfriend recently, both are 18. We argued which has the better art, Pokemon or Magic the Gathering. I had a hard time accepting that they strongly felt Pokemon had the better art. So much so that they spend...

More like not hard enough in my opinion.

Zoomed in like that make it look like a painted plastic mini. While I overall like the art I've seen, something about many of the pieces just don't have a sense of vitality. I don't have the education, training, or talent to have the vocabulary to better explain what I mean. It may also be...

Pathfinder Art has never worked for me. I especially dislike their take on goblins. Lots of folks love it though, so what do I know.

I mean, I DO love the art in DCC books, but the aesthetic is not for everyone. D&D tries to hit a wide audience.

Got a decoder ring for that? Sorry, I know this is an issue that you and some others have been having with the forum. I just couldn't resist the jab. I know there is a discussion in the meta thread, so I we don't need to derail this one. I just hope a root cause and solution are found because...

I'll probably get some heat for this, but the more I look at it, the more I prefer it over the lord Soth art. Something about Lord Soth's help with the glowing red eyes in the 5e art always looked a bit goofy to me. My only concern is that when you rely on various dark shades the detail can be...

Wasn't a fan on first look, but after looking at a larger version that another poster posted above, I changed my mind. I just hope it comes across as well in print as it does as a good-resolution, zoomed in digital image.

Yes, it may grow on me. I'll have to read the fluff and crunch for these entries when the MM is released. I admit it only bothers me because that is how I got used to understanding them based on 1e and 5e. I mean, the gorgon and medusa entries have never bothered me, because I was introduced to...

Yeah, but I think much of the problem is that the rules are all over the place. I think the core is solid, but it is hard to remember the exceptions and additions, even if you stick to the core rule book. Then when you bring in other books, they are not just additive, they often patch or replace...

I did, indeed, thanks for clarifying.

I legitimately shiver cringe* at the thought of what new works of "art" will come out when Wonder Woman enters the public domain. * Edited, because I just realized that the original wording could be interpreted the wrong way.

Those darn, insufferable pearl cluthers and their clam pizzas! In case someone calls me out about pearls and clams, yes, clams can make pearls, but also:

I finally read over the Bastian rules. The only way I can see folks coming to this conclusion is that it doesn't specifically state that the DM can do this, so, therefore, I guess they interpret this to me the DM can't? I think it may come from the event list. The second event (on a roll of...

I still like that succubi were the female sexual-sin demons and incubi were the male counterparts, as they are in medieval folklore. The new 2024 MM take may grow on me. I like the concept, just can't get over the names being the same. This old grognard is going to have trouble not confusing...
