The attempt to “humanize” Orcs and Drow is just a type of imperialism that refuses to accept difference in a froth of revolutionary universalism. Embrace difference, think different. Let Orcs be Orcs. Let Drow be Drow. edit I can’t keep a straight face, this is patently ridiculous.

The reality is that the discussions here are boring, and quickly and constantly turn into everybody tone policing everyone else.

Please stop bringing morality into my mass murder simulator, where everyone is ultimately summed up by a number which represents what it takes to kill them.

All these comments cuz people don’t like to be reminded that DnD is and always has been a murder simulator lol

Brilliant East has got to be next. They’re clearing toiling on it in the background.

You do you mate, don’t apologize for enjoying your game the way you enjoy it.

Thank you for providing context on Joy Ang—I looked her up and she’s a very talented artist whose work isn’t well served here in my opinion. I think that’s a shame. I appreciate the effort to explain a little bit of the context of how she operates as well.

Nice stealth edit there. If you’re going to make a joke about abuse on a public forum, at least have the integrity to stand by it.

I think we are talking at cross purposes here. I understand the process of how said art was created, and I can even respect the process, but respect and understanding need not translate into positive appreciation. I don’t like it, for the reasons articulated, and I think it does a disservice to...

Backed! Good luck! Always blown away by the originality on display in Kobold projects.

A truly unnecessary collection of books as it is, designed to separate marks from their money. WotC and Hasbro are really scrapping the bottom of the barrel with this one. Yet people will still defend it despite the fact that they’re being exploited. Wonders never cease. Don’t buy this...

You’d think DnD nerds wouldn’t be so quick to lick the boot of billionaires, but I guess the desire to feel like you’re accepted overrides any sense of self respect or dignity.

It’s just weird that you felt compelled to defend the integrity of manga when I said that this cheap looking art looks like they could come from one of my kid’s “how to draw manga” books. I’m a huge fan of anime and manga, I’ve been called a weeb! but my son’s manga drawing books are cheap...

That, uh, didn’t help with the whole “not looking cheap” thing. Nor with the “let’s see how little effort we can put into this thing, the fanboys will buy it up regardless” vibe this whole gift collection has.

It’s a word I would use. They look cheap. The white background with the cartoony design looks like something my son would see in one of his “how to draw manga” books. Maybe they look better in hand, but as with everything else in regards to this project it has the look and feel of a cheap cash...

Looks cheap.

Dnd has always been a corny pastiche of other stuff, derivative to the very core. This is especially apparent in 5th edition. Once you embrace this, you’ll begin to enjoy the product more. Picasso it ain’t.

It’s pearl clutching on top of making absolutely ignorant comparison. You can hate on who ever this NuTSR weirdo is, but you can do it without saying stupid stuff like this. It could also be a Final Fantasy 6 reference, they had a well poisoning scene in that! see, see how stupid that looks?

That’s an asinine Twitter thread linked to. Abadon is an anti Jew dog whistle? That’s such a dumb claim, how are we to take anything else said seriously?
