I'm glad we've moved past always evil orcs, but I'm worried that it's swung the other way. Everyone is mentally identical to humans, rather than having species which think and act in an entirely different way. Even in suggesting that other sapients should think differently to humans has been...

I understand (but don't agree with) the argument that half-orcs are no longer needed as orcs are regular PHB playables now. But I really dislike that full orcs have been made to look like grey skinned humans with pointed ears in the new art. Along with losing their powerful build mechanically...

(Also another one which I really hate is stiletto heels I see given to so many women in fantasy). You take one step off a smooth hard floor and you're sinking straight into the ground. And god forbid there is a cobblestone road...

I've never had issues with things like Conan where both the men and women are scantily clad. It's the numerous pieces of media where all the men have serious armour, while the women are still in insanely sexualised armour which I can't stand. (This topic also annoys me as my browser tells me...

Yeah the idea of 'trans' being a background is a bit yikes imo. Replace 'trans' with 'gay' and it makes it pretty clear. Anyone of any background can be trans.

Daran Edermath from Lost Mine of Phandelver is the one I noticed. In Phandelver and Below he was switched from being a half-elf to a drow. Apparently a half-orc also got retconned into an orc in something else recently, but I'm unsure of what that's in.

Nope, they're gone completely. Even the sidebar from the OneDnD playtest didn't get added. So if you're using 2024 onwards content only, playing as a mixed species is no longer allowed RAW. When combined with how they've retconned existing mixed species characters into being single species in...

I always liked how Vox Machina showed both sides of the mixed human-elf experience. There was Vex and Vax, who had a human mother and an elven father (who was entirely absent and barely acknowledged his children existed). Meanwhile you had Keyleth, where both her parents were half-elves. Giving...

Nope neither. (It also doesn't have lions or stags, so neither half of griffons or perytons are there).

One of the reasons I like Heroforge is that it allows me to easily make female characters who are wearing practical and realistic gear. It's not quite so bad these days, but back when I started playing miniatures games, finding female minis which were not scantily clad was extremely difficult...

(almost like having more classes might be a good thing) Then some people can have their pure martial ranger, while other people can have their primal half-caster.

Come on, we all know it won't be called 6th Edition. It will be Dungeons and Dragons - Edition-X.

I'd just let them keep taking levels in that class. But they'd need to regain that point if they wanted to add a 3rd class, due to the minimums also being needed in order to multiclass out of a class.

Are any of the DnD-alike companies based outside the US? As that would make them a lot less vulnerable? I get the feeling they're all US based though.

Yeah this is what scares me about the US legal system. He can just throw lawsuit after lawsuit at small competition, and they just can't afford to fight it. Whoever is richer wins.

I mean, DnD has eagles, and large eagles. A medium eagle would work pretty well. Though that runs the risk of small characters riding one!

Luckily Paizo has put in a lot of work with the remaster to try to avoid this exact problem. And I'm willing to bet that right now they're feeling really validated in doing so.

I wonder which would get most of the market in a 'post-DnD' world? Level up A5e and Tales of the Valiant both resemble 5e a lot more. Pathfinder 2e is pretty large, but as it's so crunchy it puts off many casual players. And then Daggerheart is also trying to become one of the larger systems...

I suspect that one of the several '5e clones' would end up suddenly doing extremely well, just like how the original Pathfinder did well once 4e happened. So far none of the 5e-alike games have managed to gain much traction, as 5e still exists and currently dominates the market. But if Musk...

Buying Twitter was never about it being profitable. It was about social engineering. And it did / is still doing that job perfectly.
