Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize that posting on a forum meant you were having a mental breakdown. Posting your thoughts and feelings in a forum about games is a perfectly fine magnitude of reaction to the magnitude of the problem. Its a forum for games not a formal dinner. I KNOW the...

Yes I do. Incorrect. They became officially playable with the optional Complete Humanoids Handbook. The only thing 2nd edition did was take away monks and assassins. Kara Tur, Zakhara, and Maztica did not alter the realms in any way except for 2 book series. Half Orcs are the legacy race...

You are addressing a straw man here. The PDK Dragonrider isn't even vaguely close to the situation. Besides the Voyages of the Princess Arc there was not much to develop. I'm not talking about development conflicts I'm talking about the Jerry Crawford " no old lore matters". Completely...

Incorrect. I don't think this is a good understanding of alignment. I use it still to great effect.

Your making the SAME assumption that nature could over power nurture. In a world where good and evil are tangible there's just as much a case nurture is not overpowering nature. Especially when natural selection isnt the origin of species. Nurture does not have a stronger position here.

It will be nonsense official lore. New lore ignorant if the old lore. All table campaigns are different. Clearly I'm talking about the publishers. I dont care if someone changes it for their campaign. When lore changes DMs have to then stop the players from bringing lore changes that dont...

But why? Why change the lore the entire reason people adopt a campaign setting in the first place. They used that stupid time jump as a method to dumb the lore down (wotc words AND mine). If you're not using the established lore you are using the setting in name only. 4e was FR in name only...

Yes let's please not make it like a Marvel Celestial popping out of a planet and it not really bothering anyone.

They wouldn't do that if the designers paid more attention to the lore.

No but look at the credits lately. They're not the ones writing this. And they left before it was finished. Losing them worries me more than anything else.

Make it a background. New designers are taking a good bit of FR lore and messing it up with a dragon riding subclasses. Just make a character and roleplay the PDK.

More likely the new creators don't know the old lore and are using handwavium for kewl's sake. Plus the player tokens would look cooler on actual plays! We should probably just make all Cormyr the Kingdom of Purple Dragonborn. Old lore is outdated. No need to pay attention to it. That is...

This is all you need to do to cover it. Well said.

I use FR and disallow a ton of races and options that are published. FR was not the arbitrary lore dump until the awful 4e realms became the default setting. It was literally said by WOTC they needed to dumb the realms down. Where lore wouldn't matter. Want Dragon Riders? There's a precedent...

There was good reason for that. Economy. Some lore changes make sense like the red wizards and others are ignorant. The purple dragon knight amethyst dragon pets was lore ignorant. Not a good change. Silverymoon did not have a red wizard enclave. Water deep certainly did and its focus on...

This is better. Making Purple Dragon Knights attached to Amethyst Dragons was lore ignorant. Purple Dragon Knights were named so for the Black Great Wyrm that ruled the territory before it became Cormyr. There's a whole trilogy written about it. Likewise if they wanted Dragon Riders there's...

MORE than likely. We killed Thor with a Push spell off a mountain. It was ridiculous 6th grade power!

Red Wizards of Thay was the reason for its inclusion in the 3rd edition CG.

Nothing I said indicates I don't think 11 year olds use swear words. There's a difference between them learning that on their own, and a local father suggesting other people's kids go home and watch Vox Machina. Plus that Bard is just an awful example of a bard. My daughter plays a bard in...

I really wish there wasn't so much swearing in these. I am helping a new group of new generation gamers that are all 11 years old and I feel like these cartoons are inappropriate for that. Not demanding a change, but I would love a piece of media that shows D&D animation without that stupid...
