    D&D 5E (2014) Spelljammer Errata

    Sure. Perkins is more than likely, at the very least, highly ignorant if this keeps happening under his watch, constantly, over various things. Now don't dither on the issue. You disagree, so show that he isn't racist or highly ignorant and that these are innocent mistakes, and I will accept...

    D&D General New WOTC racism allegations regarding Hadozee and Spelljammer

    I am unsure, but that is a fair point. I was mainly thinking of Candlekeep Mysteries and other incidents from further ago. I think I will bow out so as not to distract any further.

    D&D General New WOTC racism allegations regarding Hadozee and Spelljammer

    No, naughty word the DND division of WoTC. They've done this before, they continue to do this, they don't often have people of colour involved in making content, and when they do they treat them like crap. There's no good faith there and I'm done even talking about the game until that house gets...

    D&D General New WOTC racism allegations regarding Hadozee and Spelljammer

    I already refuse to buy any WoTC stuff considering the past racist incidents from WoTC. This... this is just another disgusting thing on top. I think I won't comment on anything else to do with 5e, not until WoTC stops this shite.

    D&D 5E (2024) A realization about Monster Crits and Death Saves

    Right, I forget "important monsters or characters having death saves" is a homebrew style deal in 5e. That I would like to see added - not only to make capture and nonlethal combat easier, but to set up trickier combats and provide moral dilemas to the world.

    D&D 5E (2024) A realization about Monster Crits and Death Saves

    That is definitely a positive change from the crit rulles. It is too harsh to make it so that one attack can potentially outright kill a character in death saving throws. If a player character is in the dying state and the GM is making a character delibertly attack that person, then the risk...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D is Getting Unweildy

    I am not sure I see the relevance of life skills to playing a game or learning a game, nor as a mid 20s person do I see a lack of life skils in my friends or collegues, or the younger folk. People grow at different rates; I am sure she'll be fine. The young are always criticised and treated...

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest: Is the Human Terrible?

    Honestly, I feel that highlighted point is up for debate right now, at-least until the playtest is done. They have already done changes I didn't think they would do like moving ASIs to backgrounds, granting Feats to start with and adding levels to them, changing crit rules while implying...

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest: Is the Human Terrible?

    Pathfinder 2e's playtest did effectively release an entire Player's Handbook, along with several adventures, to properly test out the system. Granted, those were paid which is a different model, but it's not impossible for a test. My understanding of the D&D Next playtest was that it was a...

    D&D 5E (2024) Split the Players Handbook into two books: Lower Tiers and Upper Tiers

    I just do not see why WoTC don't release 1 to 20 adventures when it appears to work for other systems, has worked in the past, and appears to work for some third parties. I assume other publishers do it because it does make them money and not out of stubbornness. So why does WoTC not persue the...

    D&D 5E (2024) Playtest: Is the Human Terrible?

    Somewhat off-topic and I have said this before, but this is exactly why releasing the playtest material in such a piece-meal manner and without at-least some guidance how past content is supposed to be converted in specific cases has been a bad idea. We're arguing about the intent of whether...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D is Getting Unweildy

    I feel a lot of this problem comes from there not being an online, officiall, non-pirate source of all player options and rules. It would make verifying and dealing with people bringing in things from books you do not own much easier - things become just a google or wiki source away. At the...

    Pre-generated characters for one-shot game; sex and gender breakdown. Opinions wanted.

    I apologise, I came out too strong about it. I've talked to trans people who are more knowledge; the problematic part here is focusing on there being "72 other specific genders" and not saying it is an inexhaustive list of feelings associated with identities and some identities. It's missing a...

    Pre-generated characters for one-shot game; sex and gender breakdown. Opinions wanted.

    WebMD hosts qutie a lot of misinformation and naughty word too, and has been criticised extensively. An offshoot will likely contain the same. That's besides the point, as well, because a whole shitton of medicine and health information misrepresents the trans community and makes a bunch of stuff...

    Pre-generated characters for one-shot game; sex and gender breakdown. Opinions wanted.

    I cannot believe people honestly believe this obviously transphobic rubbish designed to mock trans people. What the naughty word guys.

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want to see excised?

    So it's a spell that, while a cantrip, takes up your entire action, so that next turn your first attack gains advantage, right? Which, in effect, is the same thing as attacking twice at lower levels... and becomes worse for any melee character afterwards, who can just multi-attack* on both...

    D&D 5E (2024) What do you want to see excised?

    Most things I would like to see 'excised' are things that I want replacements for and, in particular, would massively change the game in many ways. So I'll go with something simple: Trap options and mechanics that do not work as intended and are probably too difficul to replace with something...

    D&D 5E (2024) I am highly skeptical of the Unreal VTT

    I mean, that's fair. It's valid to be excited and hopeful. I just wanted too give reasons why I am not. I will admit I am biased against Wizards mainly because they have disappointed me in the past (though mainly in the treatment of their workers). I'm not typically sceptical and cyncial about...

    D&D 5E (2024) I am highly skeptical of the Unreal VTT

    It's still complex software!It won't be as complex as an AAA video game release in a lot of ways as mentioned, but it's going to be complex in different ways to a lot of triple A games - notably, support for user generated content, which has become rarer over time. How much rules and dice...
