    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    I tend to run published modules because they're less work, and do not think there is a point defining what a setting is or isn't for. it is the same place AND more, how is that somehow worse? Why are you trying to force this exclusive rhetorics where someone else getting something means you get...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    At least the setting still gets content. Meanwhile I think everyone hjas given up on Mystara or Dark Sun ever getting a new book. And I like to quote what one Planescape fan said when describing how different 2e, 3e and 5e Planescape content is - you could very well run all 3 Planescapes in one...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    You are expecting corporation to refrain from using it's msot popular ips. It's like asking DC to stop making comcis where Batman fights the Joker - as long as they can squeeze a penny more out of that dead horse, they won't stop printing them. And beleive me, that well has run dry long, loong...

    Because maybe a setting that wants to exist for people to play games in should be more than one note?

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Please do not reduce people from different cultures and half of human population to "other" no different from made up Elves. Quirks are not enough to define whole species. We will then not agree on this. Pretty much every evil group in this game takes slaves and every group with basic common...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    No, this is just a human projection of an idea of alien, and clearly loosely based off some animals with possibly genders switched. It's skin deep and not what a real alien way of behavior can be, your species is just being animals in colored suits.

    So it can only happen in the STORY at hands of IMPORTANT NAMED NPCS who serve THE METAPLOT, not those pesky player characters, their job is to sit on sidelines and watch?

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Hence why it is literally stated he will never find an heir because he cannot find anyone worthy. I thought I made it very clear. And everything else was still meaningless because each place was at mercy of Darklord whims and Darklords could not be removed either because if killed they'd just...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    I played Origins and honestly, it is such a rare occurrence to have your race matters, it's honestly a joke. Origins was a good game, but is being held on a pedestal it doesnt' deserve. And yes, "race" is just a skin because it is not possible for humans to conceive a truly inhuman perspective...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Those are all human ideas of what inhuman and alien is like, therefore they are jsut human projection, assumptions inhuman or alien would lack what we take for granted. It's not an inhuman perspective, just a caricature of it through human perspective.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Those are all real people that exist and you can, I dunno, ASK THEM to understand their perspectives. It's reductive to compare them to made up fictional things that do not exist. It's an experience that taught me the players need enemies who are interesting individual people, and even an...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    And yet whenever the players faqce them, the reaction is pretty much the same regardless what they're facing - it's in my way and I kill it. As I've said, unless an individual group did something unusual to distinguish itself, they were treated the same because tactics themselves do not give...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    I mean in a sense, that you don't need designated "evil" race to be evil, players in my experience do not care if they fight Orcs or Goblins or Haflings. Unless you do something to make a group unique and memorable as individual group, it could all be endless army of clones of Larry from...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    And that';s why having "inherently evil" species is pointless, players don't care and all these roles could be easily taken by humans or other species.

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    Do you maybe have anything constructive to add? Part of one campaign where they could be replaced by cultists, single 4e adventure and a bunch of 5e adventures. I find it hard to beleive they were always potraying ad villainous when it seems more like a modern shift that got later corrected...

    Dungeons & Dragons: Ravenloft: Heir of Strahd Review

    No, that is only one of many version of the Arthurian myth AND amounts to character image as little as Gandalf being an angel - no one thinks of that when trying to invoke common image of a "wise old wizard", the stereotype Merlin or Gandalf created. In fact, I recall when D&D 5e 2024 player's...
