Is it being preserved by magic? If not it's carrying all kinds of micro organisms and maggots.

There is no way to justify animating dead as a good act. I always play it as evil, and off limits for Good aligned creatures. First every druid or nature spirit should be against it, not just good creatures. Corpses are corrupt physically. They bring disease, and they bring pests, so on a...

If you try to apply ANY science to elements of dungeons and dragons then you will be hit with a cascading effect of more questions. Plane Scape had tons of things like this and it doesn't have to be magic. You're going through a portal and the physics of the world can literally be different...

In fairness though, isn't this what people do? Even Before Forums. Just sitting around your FLGS before the net people look through the preview books of Marvel, TSR, WHite Wolf, whatever and just talk about it. Some were excited, others were complaining. Its a forum discussion, and this...

So the thing I object to in D&D Art Aesthetic is not the diversity of the subject. Its that is going more towards the modern. Thats simply not what I want out of D&D. I have other games for Modern.

The purpose was not to spread lies about 4e. And really at this point if someone thinks its a combat only game who cares? WOTC not going to resurrect it.

It was a run down of the different editions that were also not entirely accurate. I think people are a bit sensitive 4e was so short lived. It doesnt matter anymore.

I get what youre going for but look at the other art styles around adult fantasy at the time. The new book is definitely a fun fluffy tone compared to its contemporaries.

BUt their not Celebrating the actual whining. They are ANTICIPATING their elation that people will not like a thing. So they are taking joy in the fact that a particular move by a company is going to upset a particular set of fans. Not the whining itself. Its very petty and weird.

Fair Enough. I run 5e very sporadically. It is my live game from before the pandemic beginning and we meet maybe every three months now. My normal Games are Warhammer 4, D&D 3.5/PF1, and HERO System which has a different dynamic when PCs are down.

He literally went through every edition and touched on one or two points. Why would you require he is really clear that 4e isnt just a skirmish game? He wasnt smearing 4e any more than he did any other edition.

Whose preventing anyone from playing any version of game?

Tactictly Death isnt always the desired result. if the PC is down they are no longer a threat. I don't like when DMs think that the monsters just want to kill (Unless the fluff warrants it) I immediately shift the monsters to making sure the support is taken down once a damage dealer is down...

Yes I can see that. THe problem with 3.5 is when DM's don't know the players ranges. Before I do any kind of skill based session I am going to know the ranges of skills so I can set difficulty properly. I think many DMs did not do that. In that case you can totally DC block. Also you can...

The Aesthetic has definitely changed. So has the player philosophies. Rule of Cool is much more prevalent, and I had a newer player leave because I wouldn't let them accomplish something if it violated the rules (not in a dramatic way, just not the game want to play.) She played in a previous...

The Skill system in 5e is much less robust than PF or 3rd edition. Its one of the reasons I run more games in PF than I do 5e. I find that 5e is very limited on skills. I can't see how 5e can do investifation adventures better especially with the available feats in PF or 3.5

This has been happening since its inception. IN all editions Ive had sessions where we just roleplay. You don't need rules of roleplaying it just happens. D&D is just as good for roleplay as any other system since rules would probably get in the way of roleplay. But non violent solutions are...

THis is a troubling trend in mostly the Twitter RPG Community. They CELEBRATE when something is not what others want. Its very disconcerting.

I still use alignment mechanics in my 5e game. If I don't want to use alignment I play a game other than D&D. But in the D&D Worlds I use, alignment is tangible.
