Yeah we had a word for this in real life. It was called 'chief deity' representing the ruling deity due to various religious reasons at the time. They weren't 'overgods' and weren't treated as a seperate class of thing like we're trying to powerscale Goku

Y'know, its funnny you bring up Disney and whatnot on this when DC actively does not use the Indian deities in it any more, despite one having played a bit of an important role in a Wonder Woman book. Like, they downright had the bants going on, you could ship it So, yeah, there isn't just a...

Then he went mask off, because it turns out people will consider folks based on their actions and will be free to re-analyse them accordingly, not just hero worship Like, you can downright track his progression from being liked to being maligned after that 2018 cave flood incident, where he...

Don't forget though, he didn't intend to buy Twitter originally. He made a whole bunch of noise and offers, but offered one that was so insanely high they went for it. He then immediately attempted to retract it but got caught in legallities over the offer, so had to go ahead and purchase it...

I mean, if you want to kill D&D forever and salt the earth so nothing can ever grow of it, I suppose that's a way to say 'cleansing'. Certainly not 'awesome' unless you're describing the way watching, say, two trains crash into one another or a dam collapsing can be awe inspiring But nah, no...

His reputation does preceed him, however Like there's one thing of "Billionare oil tycoon who no one outside of the industry attempts to buy Hasbro" and then there's Musk, who's a history of vague 'yeah i'll buy the thing (never does)' threats into the ether, says something He's destroyed a...

Musk fanboys are insufferable. They'd force out anyone normal. Every D&D stream online would immediately jump ship to any other game because being a Dungeons and Dragons stream would be actively a bad mark on you It'd crash and burn the franchise about as good as TSR did which, I guess if he...

He's a ragebait tourist. He isn't powerful. Wealthy, sure, but he's not powerful. Oh come off it. We don't need to avoid posting about history because we might offend people like Musk. The truth should get out there and we shouldn't hide it so some soft-skinned billionare might be upset

Don't forget Step 6: Give ever D&D competitor a massive boost as D&D's popularity drops so hard even the 4E haters start remembering those being days it was more popular I mean, let's be honest, he didn't intend to buy Twitter but mouthed off hard enough he got stuck in a legal contract to...

Eh, I'll disagree. Mind art is subjective but, the overly airbrushed style that AI uses is downright attached to 'lazy' at this point. It always generates the same exact style of work. Even if you're not counting the fingers and toes to check if its AI, like some sort of fae, it always has that...

The luddites broke machines so they wouldn't face mass unemployment in the wake of widespread disruption and not be held at the whims of factory owners, the type of people who, y'know, would lock fire escapes so people died in terrible factory fires Like, are we forgetting '1800s factory owner'...

Of course I of all people have dinosaurs. Not even dinsoaurs, all sorts of extinct weirdos. They just, turn up in appropriate places, generally not jungles. The "What if I just, stuck the Western Interior Seaway back in the middle of North America" continent has a lot of 'em, but they can be...

And I like the up to date one that gives you a 'can be an ally can be an enemy' figure that's got a lot more use everywhere, rather than being this weird one note "Man atheism bad" thing they had their. Someone damning themselves through their actions rather than "oh the gods got pissy and gave...

A lot of original Ravenloft was bad though. No matter how much you polish a turd, its still gonna be just poop, and its better to throw it out and grab a gem instead. Just saying, when folks talk about the good part of Ravenloft, they bring up Strahd, not "The blatent Frakenstein expy" or "okay...

I hate to dredge, but.... The FR wiki is a hot god damn mess that is honestly, hard to read. It just compiles everything together and holy hell its past tense on absolutely god damn everything makes it a nightmare to actively read and research stuff If I get the choice between looking...

On the Thac0 I think its also worth noting that uh, hi, I got into this all in my teens and in my teens? 3E and 3.5E were the active games and the OSR didn't even exist. Thac0 was basically dead as far as folks concerned Its the other side of things that's the problem. Its much easier to go...

I mean, that's varied on what people think. Regardless though, when it comes to AI stuff, I roll on the "If someone couldn't be bothered writing it, then why should I be bothered reading it?" side of things Tell that to all the companies using AI for that very purpose and how 'well' its going.

I will argue against this and point out there are quite a few popular fantasies with guns. Warhammer and Warcraft are the obvious two, with Warhammer having both the Empire and Cathay using pleny of firearms, and Warcraft just making guns interchangeable with bows and crossbows (except for the...

I mean, with the go-to biggest introduction to D&D these days being a widespread bunch of generally low stress Twitch streams? Its generally a pretty chill experience and folks will relate to stuff like that as the way to play Its unrelated to balance, sure, but it is the player experience and...

I mean I'd argue it is a balance change, as you're adding either a minimal resource drain or a "Woops you didn't buy a torch guess you've got to turn around now and go get one". Its not making the dark threatening again, its making the dark annoying again. Mind, having both seen Skyrim players...
