It's not? You know Hasbro is publicly traded right? Not that that has anything to do with why I am not a fan of this. I am only allowed to not like things when my money is at stake?

In situations like this I just prefer when things are less lumped together.

Well, yeah, that's why I put out the call! If we don't call someone out on their first post for not understanding all the written/unwritten rules of forum etiquette where will we end up? I mean, sure each thread is clearly labeled by it's OP date, but that's not the point.

Interesting; Troubling; Ok, not really troubling but I am not a fan of the TT game funding video games.

Quick, everybody pile on the new poster. Gatekeepers Assemble!!!

Bard; Straight-up magical Bards are not too common, but they exist and are excellent.

So, a lot of people liked ToB but a common thought was that the monsters weren't quite in line with 5e and were a bit more 3.x-ish. Have they maintained the same style or moved towards/away 5e design? Lot of lair and legendary actions? I didn't see any full sample writeups on the kickstarter.

No, I saw some commissioned artwork not related to the game. I assume the actual product will have both genders represented, it would be super problematic if it didn't. One would hope, particularly with something like this. We don't actually know how they look/dress/groom and since it's based...

It would be nice to assume we have reached the point where the artwork for a project would at a minimum show the diversity of the setting it's supposed to cover. It would be weird to put out a product like this without showing what the men look like in these cultures. I assume the finished...

Hrm, this seems is troubling. I can see where they are drawing from and this is fantasy, but it certainly doesn't reflect the vast majority of African culture, particularly pre-colonization. Spiritual, absolutely. Consensual, I can see as a perspective. But the hunt was very much a real affair...

It's rather tangential to this discussion but many Africans took issue with the American perspectives of Africa in that movie.

All of the above, or he found a way to concentrate on multiple spells... but it made him insane.

LOL, sorry if this sounds like poking fun but "suspicious" and "worried", really? It's a board game, no cause for alarm. "World" has many meanings and can be perfectly correct here ie; The world of hobby boardgames.

Different art styles are great, especially if you are trying to appeal to different audiences. The main books all go through the same hands and are consistent (sometimes I think a little too much so), so it's great to see a little bit of variety in some of these other products.

This is great, as was the mindblowing kickstarter, but people seem to be getting a bit off track as to the scale of things. I see people suggesting CR might surpass D&D as a brand or in terms of popularity, while anything is possible, the two things are on an entirely different scale right now...

Well, it won't stay that price, but it will come back down again. It actually isn't all that low right now.

It's only $44CAD ($34USD) on Amazon.ca right now.

IIRC D&D books tend to get drown out in Christmas shopping season, I bet there are a lot of people (especially young ones) cashing in gift cards to buy these.

I think it is probably an unpopular opinion but I really like the 5e gnome art. I am a fan of that female archer for sure.

I don't know pathfinder all that well (never really enjoyed 3.x in general) but I always heard so much love for the art that I wanted to appreciate it, yet it just doesn't work for me most of the time. I think this is a good example of where I can see it's quality art, somebody spent a lot of...
