It’s better than Halfling names, which are Farmingword Cookingword

Megakyrios Khrysandros: The Half-Gold Tyrant Megakyrios Khrysandros I Xorshid, nicknamed "The Half-Gold Tyrant," is the current ruler of Androkratoria (placeholder name, basically means "Empire of Man"). He is a 51 year old male goliath, although he has a human grandmother and some distant...

You didn’t answer my questions.

Do you think he likes getting personally attacked on the internet? Do you think he likes getting called an idiot for interpreting the rules as written?

What do you mean complicating the rules? You could always use the NPC stats for other races like orcs and goblins. Saying that some are fey and some are humanoids doesn’t complicate that. And the new books have added quite a bit that the 2014 books didn’t have.

And it would be a goblin. If the DM says the Soldier or Cultist is a goblin, it’s a goblin.

And they weren’t at the beginning of 5e, or earlier? The corporatization of WotC only happened when you started not liking their books? Sounds like begging the question.

Everyone wants this. What’s weird to me is that you treat this as a new thing. You and others regularly act like all new 5e books are soulless and only made to sell money. As if all of 5e transitioned away from “art” into “corpo-slop” . . . when do you folks draw the line? Is it still...

Can kitchen sinks not have “mature” content? Weren’t you just praising BG3 for exactly that? 5e books have slavery. 5e books have body horror. 5e books have violence and some gore. 5e books have swearing. I’m having a hard time recalling specific instances of genocide in 5e books, but I’m sure...

I’m having a very difficult time trying to interpret this post. The best I can come up with is that you want the D&D books to have sex scenes in them.

I don’t play MMOs, but I would kill for a BG3-style and quality Eberron CRPG.

“If you changed 20 Chimpanzee genes to be more human-like, that wouldn’t make those modified chimpanzees be human”

The cartoony Gold Dragon reminds me of the Sky Fish from Dungeon Meshi.

If you haven’t heard of them, you’ll probably be interested in the Scythians’ Enarei.

Not just that, but being the exception somehow means the generalization is not valid.

"Tiny minority of players" meant "players that spend more time reading the D&D rulebooks than playing the game." Also, I don't think most players are aware of this change or would have any opinion on it if you asked them. There are far more players than DMs, and I believe most wouldn't care...

Does capitalizing important words make books less entertaining to read? Does it make it less easy to read or look at? I don't think it does. I've read several novels that capitalized important parts of the story and worldbuilding ("One Ring"). Is Lord of the Rings less enjoyable or less easy to...

No, I think you should change your opinion, because it's wrong. If you got your way, it would greatly damage my experience playing the game. When I heard you say "I read the books more than I play the game, so I think the books should be more enjoyable reads" my mind immediately went to this...

So, WotC should design game books that are tailored more to being more enjoyable reads for a tiny minority of players than actually being useful rule books? Read a novel if you want entertainment. Getting upset that the rulebooks aren’t riveting enough is a you problem. This is like complaining...
