Thought I would share this as both a cautionary tale and to see if anyone else has done the same thing and if they were able to resolve it. Living up to my user name, I recently did a blockheaded thing and unlinked my Google account from my DDB account. The only account I left linked was...

Not burned. Just accumulated soot. The sooty reds are just down on their luck and don't have a clan of worshipful kobolds to apply Rutland's Hearth and Dragon Scale conditioning cleaner to them regularly.

I get it. I've certainly have been bummed out by the constant negativity in discussions about something I like and am even excited about. There are a lot of threads I avoid and I've occasionally taken a break from forums during particularly contentious periods. But unless folks are breaking the...

Well, it wouldn't be much of a discussion if someone just said "I don't like it" and move on. I find those kinds of posts more annoying. I don't understand the point of coming in and just posting "I don't like it" or "it sucks", etc. I'm much more interested in the "because ..."

Not sure about the original myths. The Malleus Maleficarum (Malleus maleficarum : Kraemer, Heinrich, -1508 : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive), published in 1487 and which had a great impact in how incubi were thought of, seduction is emphasized. It focuses on more willing...

I miss the much more thoughtful discourse during the Great Eyeglasses Debate ignited by the PHB art. 😉

No, but can we please stat up a tentacled centaur?

From Platos Republic and Horace's Ars Poetica; to Tertullian, Augustine of Hippo, and Christine de Pizan; to Leonardo da Vinci and John Calvin; and many others, on through the industrial revolution and into today; history is full of people complaining about others' "tweeny" tastes. If the...

Curous how old you are. This isn't a set up. I had a conversation with my son and his girlfriend recently, both are 18. We argued which has the better art, Pokemon or Magic the Gathering. I had a hard time accepting that they strongly felt Pokemon had the better art. So much so that they spend...

More like not hard enough in my opinion.

Zoomed in like that make it look like a painted plastic mini. While I overall like the art I've seen, something about many of the pieces just don't have a sense of vitality. I don't have the education, training, or talent to have the vocabulary to better explain what I mean. It may also be...

Pathfinder Art has never worked for me. I especially dislike their take on goblins. Lots of folks love it though, so what do I know.

I mean, I DO love the art in DCC books, but the aesthetic is not for everyone. D&D tries to hit a wide audience.

Got a decoder ring for that? Sorry, I know this is an issue that you and some others have been having with the forum. I just couldn't resist the jab. I know there is a discussion in the meta thread, so I we don't need to derail this one. I just hope a root cause and solution are found because...

I'll probably get some heat for this, but the more I look at it, the more I prefer it over the lord Soth art. Something about Lord Soth's help with the glowing red eyes in the 5e art always looked a bit goofy to me. My only concern is that when you rely on various dark shades the detail can be...

Wasn't a fan on first look, but after looking at a larger version that another poster posted above, I changed my mind. I just hope it comes across as well in print as it does as a good-resolution, zoomed in digital image.

Yes, it may grow on me. I'll have to read the fluff and crunch for these entries when the MM is released. I admit it only bothers me because that is how I got used to understanding them based on 1e and 5e. I mean, the gorgon and medusa entries have never bothered me, because I was introduced to...

Yeah, but I think much of the problem is that the rules are all over the place. I think the core is solid, but it is hard to remember the exceptions and additions, even if you stick to the core rule book. Then when you bring in other books, they are not just additive, they often patch or replace...
