I'm curious if Exodus will be added to D&D Beyond, and also opened up on the DM's Guild . . . it would make sense to me for both to happen, but we'll see.

Silver lining! Less meetings! :(

I really doubt the promotional gold dragon digital miniature was what pushed anybody over the line into purchasing the bundle. I thought it was a nice bonus and appreciated it, but IF Sigil ends up in the dust bin, I won't feel cheated or disappointed over my "lost" miniature in any way. Did...

Somehow this thread got me thinking about sci-fi species and languages, especially Star Trek. In Star Trek, we have the "universal translator" that somehow manages to make everyone speak English . . . even when first meeting a given species. (yes, some episodes play around with this, but not...

Learning is a process, don't be afraid of it. If you come to this forum, ask for advice, and get folk recommending different channels and books . . . THAT'S GREAT!!! Pick one and start with that! Will it be the best choice for you? Maybe, if not you can drop and then pick another one! Do you...

Type, species, race, manifestation . . . we're trying to argue semantics over fantasy creatures. Are demons a "species"? Trying to use a real world definition of species doesn't quite fit, as supernatural creatures don't really exist. It's similar to elves vs humans . . . are they different...

Dude, she's monster-girl hot! Er, or so my friend tells me . . .

No, it was the ancestors of House Atreides and House Harkonnen.

Ew. Nope, marliths are quite clearly sexy ladies with snaky bottoms. Gross, drippy, melty ladies with snaky bottoms? I'm sorry, canon is important. /kidding

Really can't take that point of view seriously. This isn't change for changes sake but rather fear of change, fear of inclusivity on the part of fans.

Ah, but it isn't "change for the sake of change" now, is it? It's change you don't like, but there is very much a reason for the change.

Again, while I favor the updated marilith in the 2025 MM, this isn't an argument I can get behind either. Each of these creatures have seen drift in design over the 50 years of D&D, but don't really fundamentally change. The biggest "lore change" seen in the above art is, do gold dragons have...

Heh, hard disagree on that. But I'll just move on so we don't drag this thread down too . . .

This is happening right now in the thread about potential fixes to the "D&D language problem". Some posters seem upset that we're even discussing it, and the changes floated are tweaks to the existing system.

Support reasoning? No. It makes sense to me. It doesn't make sense to you. It's all made up. Neither choice is "right", it's just what we prefer. If you don't like the idea of demons having sexual characteristics or gender . . . okay, that's fine. But some folks do, and it's not because we are...

True, lore from Planescape is not necessarily more plausible, interesting, or authoritative then lore from other D&D books. But neither is it less so. Saying, "I don't care for Planescape lore." is different from insisting "Planescape lore isn't core and therefore shouldn't count in this...

Nah. Microtransactions make sense for certain types of purchases and products, less so for others. Plus, they are controversial amongst gamers. For WotC to "fix" their under-monetization problem, they need something that will not only bring in money, but do so sustainably. That could be...

It really doesn't come across that way.
