this is pretty much how I feel about any publishes settings tbh; I don't need WotC to 'update' it. Ive been using Planescape for years before they released the recent books; same with Spelljammer. That said, I goth both boxed sets to steal art and ideas, streamline some of the clunkier bits...

same, Waterdeep, Sword Coast, Silverymoon, even Thay sound a helluva more fantasy world than... Yeomanry, Ulek... Wooly Bay LOL (come on, its already challenging making my players immerse in a fantasy world without dropping "And you journey to the coast of Wooly Bay..." as they start laughing...

Greyhawk was the first D&D campaign I played in way back when I served in the USAF. I remember my DM was a C5 galaxy pilot, he used Greyhawk a lot (this was a couple years before FR launched). I remember fondly my Drow Fighter/Wizard... But I would chuckle sometimes at the names of some of the...

I suffered through it, Ive very low expectations for season 2.

I absolve thee of thine grognardiness. I like it. It's okay, not shattering my world but it does what I think a PHB cover should aim to do. But like with most books its what's inside that mosts interests me.

Oh I know these kids... Oh, they grew up. Please don't ask me what happened to Sheila & that other snot-nosed rich brat...

I'll definitely be attending many of these, lets see if the algorithm gods are with me on Sunday when the event lottery comes on line

I get this, Im in a similar boat; I think you can love something without needing to like the fandom. That said, none of the CR merch is of ANY interest to me except for some of the CR miniatures that I can repurpose for my table. I agree with you Clint, looks like they may be setting up dagger...

we are using different definitions for icon, you the artistic, I the religious

I'll be honest, I just finished watching campaign 2 which was good, so far campaign 3 is just all over the place, still Im only on episode 7, from what Ive heard it gets worse. I have YouTube premium, Im not interested in paying for another streaming service no matter the perks. And if they...

they are losing viewers and subscribers; maybe this is a way to more directly tap into fan $$. Im not sure if it addresses the fact that they don't play live anymore.

Straw Man fallacy?? Im not here to debate you. Whether its here or there, representation matters 100% If you need to ask women Im sure you know women in your life you can ask.

This is easy. Would women like to be represented in a fantasy (or any) genre of TTRPG in its art, characters, stories that they most certainly play, develop, create & write for? I think the consensus is Yes. Unless you want to do an exhaustive poll of 5000 women who play ttrpg and see the results?

That is Your opinion. I think I've made mine fairly clear.We have agreed to disagree so not sure why you keep having to make your point based on my reply. Re-read my posts. Not sure what else there is to say. You've made your opinion clear to me.

No worries, it's okay to disagree. This is part of a discourse. Maybe yes, marketing; marketing to make inclusivity more in the forefront. To make players who look like the art feel more included, represented. WotC owns this art, they, like company (and I don't always agree) can do what they...

I do. Period. And I don't think this is hype. Art is interpretive, not iconic. This is not a religious Icon.

Speaking as a man (cisgender) opportunities to increase representation matters. Simple. A woman can have a masculine gender expression. A man can have a feminine gender expression. Simple. I try not to get hung up on minutiae about a miniature, but it's important. to me that it could be...

thic & jacked, how I like my strong female warriors... Ive for a long time l learned to separate the art from the artist. And representation matters.

I agree with you, I don't buy them anymore

Im still sad about Larian not shepherding this incredible franchise; I honestly don't think WotC/Hasbro will ever achieve artistically what Larian has with BG3. the end of another era...
