I look forward to the days when these auto-transcriptions include punctuation and become readable.

I have no specific objections to D&D meat sticks, but I find this whole concept pretty absurd. “License everything” is this hobby now.

Got mine delivered today; they look great! Tbh I hadn’t even realized they’d already shipped so that was a nice surprise

Modern D&D usually doesn’t penalize players for firing into a melee, so (straining credibility) it’s entirely possible for a monster in the middle of a field to be surrounded by dozens or hundreds of archers all firing bows at the monster with zero risk of injuring an ally. Focusing fire on a...

Pretty much has to be someone outside the hobby, I think. The hobby will make this person very controversial, the only way to survive the pressure will be not to care too much about what the community thinks of them.

Red dragon is giving a lot more tongue than I’d expect with all those sharp teeth and fire breath…

This “combat space” thing on minis confuses me a bit—with humanoids the creature is usually much smaller than its base (ie: 1/2 inch wide body on a 1 inch base) but with monster sculpts their bodies are spilling out of their combat space. Maybe it’s not confusing at all, just artistic license

No need to prove yourself! I sounded harsher than I intended, didn’t mean to sound judgey or gatekeeper-y. I’m fairly active on Reddit too (different name) but over there the shilling can be pretty real and shameless, so I have a habit of calling it out; sometimes I forget where I’m posting when...

Haha grim but accurate

Fair enough! I know they changed the lineup of core dragons in 4E, but other than Green I thought the designs stayed the same for each dragon (or at least I didn’t notice any significant changes). However, I’m willing to be corrected. I don’t personally like the look of this new Black dragon...

There are so many plastic accessories for this hobby now. The environment suffers but I guess it’s good for WizKids?

A bit. 3E-4E only changed the Green dragon, and then 5E changed it back. None of the other chromatically changed significantly in that time, did they? I’m suspicious of any brand-new account promising to buy everything new in a product announcement thread.

But the old black dragon design already had its skull exposed… Also, please tell me more about the dragons where their horns AREN’T exposed

I weep at the phrase “Chris Cocks spoke about AI and D&D at a Goldman Sachs event” I wish that my hobby never crossed the minds of the investor class, and I’m horrified that they’re excited to use AI to “bend the cost curve” of an imagination game.

I’m gonna be the fourth comment mentioning Star Wars, but I too only learned right now that “Kotor” can refer to something other than “Knights of the Old Republic”. Today I learned! Thanks!

Seems like a cultural problem if saying “I don’t want to make money for rich a$$holes anymore” is seen as a career-limiting move. It’s the vaguest statement and the weakest profanity, but apparently it’s too much for some of you? In a sane culture, a person is rewarded for honesty and it’s...

If we’re just supposed to accept the fact that “for-profit businesses want to generate profit”, then there’s no room to criticize them for any profit-seeking behaviours at all. That’s BS. “Businesses will be businesses” is as much of a cop-out excuse for bad corporate behaviour as “boys will be...

There must be a culture barrier in this thread, because as a Canadian I truly don’t understand some of the offense taken by some here. He insulted shareholders, obviously meaning rich people not the small-peas average person. Is insulting the owner class too taboo for some Americans? Is the...

True, but it’s perfectly reasonable to speculate on the business model based on the same company’s current practices with other products and our understanding of this product’s functionality.

Sigil is a platform. WotC controls it 100%. They own the marketplace within the Sigil platform, meaning that they decide who sells there and they get a cut from every sale. This is a monopoly because they control the entire market within the platform. And this platform is destined to be HUGE—it...
