Let's be real. This is not about individual game tables. Everyone can play in and DM the type of game they want to run, and there's nothing anyone on any social media can do about it. I, personally, think good and evil races are boring af so it's a trope I avoid. And yet I still play a game...

The problem is that the "fighter" is too generic and bland an archetype. Every character in D&D has the potential to be a combatant. Split the fighter into classes that people have shown interest in, imo. The Warlord, the Spellblade (or whatever name people want to give it), that kind of thing...

To dunk on repeatedly and with great spite. Aim to outperform an elf, in all aspects of life.

5e can be good on its own merits AND appeal to a lot of audiences AND be an apology edition AND be riding on a decades-long wave of popularity. None of these things are mutually exclusive, and no one is saying they are.

Spelljammer confirmed?!

I like the concept of "D&D Fantasy." I love the idea of crawling into dark, monster-infested hell holes and coming out richer, stronger, but not necessarily with the entire party in one piece, but 5e doesn't do what I thought it would regarding that. DCC's filled that hole tho, but I'd gladly...

If I ran that I'd do it with overlapping versions of "White Rabbit" droning on in the background the whole game, lmao

Fair enough, I concede the point. Didn't know about the Wonderland adventure. I guess I was thinking more specifically about its pulp fiction and Tolkien origins. I did agree on the point about half-dragons before though.

Ok, that is very true. D&D's gone into a lot of different aesthetics and themes since its original inception. I still don't think the tweet makes complete sense, because it's not obligated to represent every fantasy concept out there that exists. That's what I have beef with, I guess.

I don't think that claim has ever been true, though. D&D has always worn its very specific inspirations on its sleeve.

Agreed w/ the point on the half-dragon, but I don't understand what a "combat doll race" entails that can't be covered by the warforge concept. When it comes down to it, they're both constructs that fight, so...

This tweet is so weird. Why should any and every character concept be allowed in a game like D&D which is representing a specific slice of the fantasy genre?

I forgot, but: Not enough funny math rocks.

Giant, terribly written adventures that can't be run at the table without reading the damn tome a few times and making a bunch of notes and quite possibly having to rely on a remix written by someone on the internet. Kind of makes DMing a cool book feel like a waste of time for me, and was the...

The highly awaited sequel to "August 17th!"

I like the stipulations added in the Lankhmar supplement for Dungeon Crawl Classics. Once had a Wiz that couldn't cast Detect Magic optimally without brewing a special potion in her cauldron.

The fact that characters can die from a "random encounter" in these kind of RPGs is a feature for me, personally. And also one of the many reasons I don't find it helpful to use comparisons to other type of media to dictate what playing D&D or D&D-like games is like. Cause they can be inspired...

I was into 5e for like... idk, a year or so? Then I got hard into DCC and that, to me, feels like what I originally wanted from D&D so I just stick with that.

Probably, I didn't really keep up with Grand Order since I found it a bit too much, even after FSN and Zero. But yeah, I'd expect that from Fate.

They don't need to, it's called Fate/Grand Order and it already exists
