The point is to legitimize bigotry. That is all the “pro-Gygax” side is trying to do. To retroactively rewrite Gygax’s bigotry as “not so bad” because more people were openly sexist in the 70s.

Yeah, this thread is pretty much exactly what I expected it to be. They’re not trying very hard to hide their bigotry. There’s a group of people on this site that always rush to defend racists, sexists, transphobes, and other bigots whenever topics like this come up. Of the defenders of Gygax in...

To add to this, the 2014 SRD was called 5.1 No one has ever called the 2014 rules 5.1e D&D. That’s silly. IMO, calling the 2024 rules 5.2e is equally silly.

I would love an adventure compilation book for Eberron, similar to the Saltmarsh/Candlekeep/Radiant Citadel line of books. Low level noir adventures in Sharn, mid-level pulp adventures in Xen’drik, and high-level Doom-esque adventures in Khyber and the planes.

That’s Ogrillions, IIRC

I’m not really that familiar with Greyhawk. Most of the information I do know about it is the basic stuff that’s bled into other settings (the Great Wheel, Vecna and Mordenkainen, some of the gods, etc). And I’m not really interested in it. I already have enough settings that I enjoy. But from...

I’m glad Sphinxes are Celestials. When I first bought the Monster Manual and read the Sphinx stat blocks I found it mind-boggling that they weren’t Celestials. I hope there are more creature type fixes like that. (Guardian Nagas should also be Celestials, IMO, with Spirit Nagas being Fiends.)

No. It's your attitude towards newer art styles that's offensive, which bleeds into whichever terminology you would use. A euphemism that is used the same way as a purposefully offensive term expresses the same meaning. I reject the premise that older D&D art was uniformly "serious, tough...

Because it's a common term that you and people who agree with you use to disparage the newer trend in D&D art and people that enjoy it. You have used it before. Whether or not you were the first to mention it in this thread is irrelevant.

Posting Bambi surely counts. And you've used that term before for newer D&D art.

I talked about my version of this in this thread. In one of my settings, Giants use Dragon scales as currency. The older the dragon, the higher the value of the scale. Scale color doesn't really matter in this system, though.

I don't think that WotC is going to stop printing Xanathar's or Tasha's and reprint them with updated rules. Or heavily errata them to update the rules to the new design philosophy. It is possible that older subclasses could be reprinted in future books (setting guides they'd fit in, Xanathar's...

The main theory I've seen is that . Maybe Butcher will become this universe's equivalent of .

I loved the most recent episode. Antony Starr is an excellent actor. The first scene seemed like it was from a horror movie.

Hmm. Not a fan of the art style. And some of the planes looking samey is kind of intrinsic to the Great Wheel. A lot of the planes are very similar.

Strange question: How would you work an ant death spiral into a campaign? The idea popped into my head the other day and I've been trying to develop a workable adventure/encounter. My first idea was pretty simple; a random encounter where a group of giant army ants gets trapped in a death...

Before opening the thread I was debating between Dal Quor and the Shadowfell, before realizing that they're not an "Outer Plane" from the Great Wheel cosmology. My answer has to be Carceri. IME, most of the other Outer Planes are extremely uninspiring. It has the most interesting premise, being...

The Dragon Age 2 line about "boneless women flopping down the street" is one of my favorite from the series.

Yeah. Thinking back on it, I don't think my problem is entirely with the Paladin. It's a combination of factors from early D&D. The European Christian knight that embodies goodness killing savage, tribal subhuman monsters made up of racist tropes about indigenous peoples (human sacrificing...
