There are very few character concepts I'd be interested in playing that couldn't be done with a human character. If race had no mechanics, then my choice of race would have to have really interesting story/lore implications for me to bother - I might still play a Warforged in Eberron, for...

I run my campaign at a game shop. It would be nice to do it in my own home, though. I want to go all-in on terrain and minis, but transporting that material would be prohibitively inconvenient. Unfortunately, my home is the most remote out of anyone else's in the group.

OSE Session 1: Got treasure. Only four casualties!

I really like this one for its juxtaposition of classic medieval fantasy elements (the castle and princess) against.....whatever that thing is.

I'm from Alabama and I've never seen such a thing. I would have called it a Frito nacho if that were an option on the poll, though. That's what it looks like. In what sense is this a pie?

You guys are all old. The first D&D book I ever flipped through was 2010's Player's Handbook 3. Adam Gillispie's illustration of two Shardminds has since been firmly lodged in my brain. Nevermind the silliness of there being a "male" and "female" Shardmind when these creatures are supposed to...

The exhaustion rules have been rewritten, but I wouldn't call thst part of the "core resolution system."

AI training, at least the way it is done today, is absolutely a copyright violation. That doesn't mean people's reactions to said violation is reasonable, though.

This is not completely relevant to the topic at hand, but - The various AD&D 2e settings are not as incompatible as they appear at first glance. Smashing them together can make for a good time.

Tried saving Bane's soul. Failed.

Other than the fact that the last iteration was ten years ago. Madden and CoD are infamous for getting updated annually.

None of the beholder's eyes are pointed at the PC's. It could have made a temporary alliance with them, because it wants all these inferior monsters out of its lair. Maybe they've appealed to its vanity and it thinks they will become its henchmen. Or, maybe the beholder has only just silently...

The OSR community already exists, supporting old editions. I don't see that WotC is any more qualified than the fans to support games they did not design.

The adventurers on that cover are dead meat. Not only is the gold dragon ridiculously huge, there's a red dragon sneaking up beneath them. And I'm pretty sure the creatures in the foreground are hostile dragonborn; they look too big to be kobolds. Although...gold dragons are usually...

Can you elaborate on this point? I genuinely have no idea what you mean by "future-proof" here. In what sense is the 2014 spell list not future-proof, and how could be be changed to make it so?

How about generations raised on Skyrim, Game of Thrones, Dark Souls/Elden Ring, and the Witcher? Medieval fantasy is alive and well.

Udaak Island? Nope, let's leave.

I'd say a petrified creature is still a creature. But, if you polymorph it into a different creature, it remains petrified. So, the only way that would be helpful is if you polymorph it into something very small. Turn that man statue into a mouse statue for easy transport.

I would pick Captain Marvel Shazam and his family. The MCU currently lacks any kid heroes,* which honestly feels like an oversight, and he has more cultural cache than any of the options from Marvel's comics. *At least, now that Tom Holland is 27.
