Finally caught up to where I had first posted. Yes, yes I did. I also read the part where you made the argument that because "grognards" buy products they are part of WoTC's target audience. Which is also true of every other demographic which buys WoTC's products. See, and the bolded and...

You have essentially just defined WoTC's target audience as people who buy WoTC products. Congratulations.

They did Okay, let's use the exact same method then. Name me a famous group of Derro in the Forgotten Realms, on the same level as Menzobarren and The Many-Arrows, which most of us know without having to look them up at all. Could be that they just slipped my mind.

Not quite, as I understand that is a place where the pools are worlds. More like, a forest of Yggdrasil Trees, each tree's fruit being different worlds, with patterns emerging from that.

They've indicated a few times that the MotM was fairly close to their current math and style, and there is no reason to update it any time soon. Likely will be years if they ever end up bothering.

Except you never accept any evidence from any source. Because anything from the designers is just a lie in disguise, and anything from older editions isn't applicable because it is "different" now. And it is different because... Disney made something that made money.

I don't know why, but your post made me think of a Cosmic Forest, and I'm going to have to chew on that for a while.

Whether you call the different Settings "Planes" or "Universes" really doesn't seem to matter very much, when the core complaint basically boiled down to "WoTC is using a term Disney is using. And you hate Disney's work, therefore WoTC is bad for using that word" Could you make an argument...

Yeah, this is the part that just blows my mind. So many people going "Of course that is what they meant" and judging WoTC for motivations they never stated they had, then turning around and smugging at everyone over how those motivations, that were never stated, suddenly don't seem to apply...

I am mildly amused at the number of people declaring that THIS is what will get them to buy the new FR books coming out, not the 8 new subclasses and the new form of ritual-based magic the books are introducing, just the ability to have Drow statblocks that say "Drow" and "Evil" on them. Less...

A completely fair distinction

I think telling disabled people that they need a computer to generate art for them, based on a written prompt, is crummy. And bringing up disabled people, who to my knowledge have never made this claim, as a human shield to deflect criticism of people too lazy to put in the effort to make art is...

So, because you do not play video games, you cannot comment on the fact that there are many male "gamers" who rage and protest at games for featuring "ugly" women instead of unrealistic pin-up models boobily breasting across the screen? What part of actually playing a video game do you think...

Player's Handbook, which you need to reference anyways to use any spells on the statblocks in the MM.

Actually, hate to tell you, but it IS a zero sum game. We have already heard the designers talk, multiple times, about how hard it was to fit everything inside the book. Adding an additional 60 to 120 statblocks (5 to 10 options per species, which wouldn't even get close to the amount of variety...

Democratization of art? What are you even talking about? Did we have a democratization of singing or cooking at some point as well? IF you want to get better at art.... learn how to make better art. Don't rely on a program to steal the work from others and make it for you. And, before you get...

I don't see any good coming from celebrating the flaws of humanity, when many people glorify those flaws as being righteous and the true order of the world.

Yeah, funny that. Every single time I bring up media examples for people, they are never actually familiar with them. Also interesting how you want to lead with that when I laid them out pretty clearly so you don't need to know anything about the actual products. So when a controversial book...

No, it isn't a change to the lich lore. It is the change of a single word, to a different pair of words. You may as well complain that "Breath Weapon" was changed to "Destructive Breath" and that that is central to dragon lore and a massive change.... when nothing actually changed. And you...
