Because it's a common term that you and people who agree with you use to disparage the newer trend in D&D art and people that enjoy it. You have used it before. Whether or not you were the first to mention it in this thread is irrelevant.

Posting Bambi surely counts. And you've used that term before for newer D&D art.

I talked about my version of this in this thread. In one of my settings, Giants use Dragon scales as currency. The older the dragon, the higher the value of the scale. Scale color doesn't really matter in this system, though.

I don't think that WotC is going to stop printing Xanathar's or Tasha's and reprint them with updated rules. Or heavily errata them to update the rules to the new design philosophy. It is possible that older subclasses could be reprinted in future books (setting guides they'd fit in, Xanathar's...

The main theory I've seen is that . Maybe Butcher will become this universe's equivalent of .

I loved the most recent episode. Antony Starr is an excellent actor. The first scene seemed like it was from a horror movie.

Hmm. Not a fan of the art style. And some of the planes looking samey is kind of intrinsic to the Great Wheel. A lot of the planes are very similar.

Strange question: How would you work an ant death spiral into a campaign? The idea popped into my head the other day and I've been trying to develop a workable adventure/encounter. My first idea was pretty simple; a random encounter where a group of giant army ants gets trapped in a death...

Before opening the thread I was debating between Dal Quor and the Shadowfell, before realizing that they're not an "Outer Plane" from the Great Wheel cosmology. My answer has to be Carceri. IME, most of the other Outer Planes are extremely uninspiring. It has the most interesting premise, being...

The Dragon Age 2 line about "boneless women flopping down the street" is one of my favorite from the series.

Yeah. Thinking back on it, I don't think my problem is entirely with the Paladin. It's a combination of factors from early D&D. The European Christian knight that embodies goodness killing savage, tribal subhuman monsters made up of racist tropes about indigenous peoples (human sacrificing...

And? I never said anything about architecture. I was specifically discussing Greek heroes and how the original stories are so far removed from our modern culture that I don't think it's an issue. Additionally, part of the stories of Greek heroes is that they are flawed characters. They're much...

One of the developers hinted that the game might not look like this.

Huh. Not a fan of the trailer. It’s not what I expected it to look like. Hopefully that’s just the trailer’s art style. And the trailer basically says nothing. The character summaries are too short and vague to be interesting or informative and that’s all the trailer was about.

Heracles and other Greek heroes were not real and don’t have any real connection to modern culture. Plus they’re still “divine warriors,” being demigods and all, but Heracles didn’t go around killing heathens in the name of Zeus or anything like that. It’s so far removed from our modern culture...

I don’t see the relevance. The issue is with the trope, not the fact that they are not literally Christian. Dragon Age’s Templars and 40k’s Space Marines aren’t Christian either, but still are obviously based on the image of a Crusader. True. But the type of Paladin art work I was referring to...

Well, I did give an example of a Paladin subclass that doesn’t rub me the wrong way, Oath of Heroism. But it is the outlier, coming from the Ancient Greek setting. I’m not sure what would fix the Paladin for me. That’s why I asked for ideas in the OP. Maybe if their scope was broadened a lot...

Hey everyone. I’m back. I mostly skimmed the thread up to this point and I’m not going to respond to every post. I’m frankly disinterested in most of the alignment tangent. And there’s no point in responding to the people that just came into this thread to mock me or condescendingly tell me I’m...
