Okay, so it isn't what you are looking for. The question is how folks handle WotC making something that isn't for them. Do folks shrug, and move on to something that is for them, or do they make a big stink online over one piece of artwork they haven't seen before? Specifically, do they make...

Because both arguments have validity. Which argument is appealing may depend on the reader. It is kind of like having arguments about design from both a mechanical, and aesthetic point of view. Yep. But if historicity matters to some individuals, there's some precedent.

Real armor doesn't look like what Red Sonja wears, either. Sorry to tell you this, Lakesidefantasy, but anachronistic, ahistorical armor and clothing is as old as D&D. You are 50 years too late with that complaint. And, if our world has had some form of elevated shoes across multiple...

I hate to tell you this, but the modern high-heeled shoe has its origins in 10th century Persian equestrian footwear. Elevated shoes of various sorts have been around since the European Dark Ages. Oh, and by the time of Henry VIII, high heels were worn primarily by men, for fashion, and taken...

So I understand. I don't spend much time there.

Countdown to Morrus instituting a "Pony Express" forum in 3, 2, 1....

Mod Note: Folks, bucking to be able to call First! on red text for politics is probably not nearly so fun a game as you imagine. Cut it out, please.

Eh. On Bluesky, it seems to me to mostly ignore WotC's existence, rather than be actively anti-WotC.

Defeated Venusian overmind. Campaign complete.

Though, I think the D&D chatter left there leans heavily anti-WotC...

He headphones with nails... shudder.

A local drive-in was running them as a double-feature, and apparently packed their lot.

Ugh. Soon we'll be down to asking, "Okay, who do I know going overseas in the near future who could pick up my gaming stuff?"

When art comes with "mechanics", then you'll have a point.

For roughly the same reasons that we mostly no longer dive Model T cars.

No it does not. Shadowrun is in black and neon. Pastels mean you drink your soycaf with almond milk and without the caf, and nobody will hire you to run to the Stuffer Shack, must less the shadows. No, they do not.

Yeah, but... you aren't doing most of the work, now are you? You don't have skin in the game design, and it is not your product that flops if it doesn't pay off for enough people. The questions, "Do I personally find this a cool thing to play?" and "How seriously should I consider this as a...

If you are regularly playing Rolemaster, that sets some expectations for many of us as to what you bunch consider "unwieldly", though. I don't think anyone is saying "it cannot be done". Merely that it is a design choice that brings with it a lot of work, the payoff for which you'd have to...

This does explain how Two Little Mice got Broken Compass back, though.

Well, that'd make it a zombie movie, which... maybe not the best idea.
