What wonder me, is those creation driven by racism, sexism continue to evolve and eventually get over the initial intent of their creators. Tiamat, Cthulhu and the Drows have too much symbolism in their roots to be restraint in their initial form. They will continue to evolve and we can forget...

Indeed Gygax wasn’t thinking in term of girl’s power. So he tricks himself giving to Women one of his most famous and iconic monster!

You’re right. He target women’s lib, and let them interpret Tiamat. But it was too soon for « Girl’s power » and « Girls can be bad ass too ». So making an female evil dragon queen was a sexist insult.

I keep hoping then!

I try to solve the King and Queen of dragons case. Swap gender, swap alignement, multi genders, multi alignements, on each scenario I just find more arguments being sexist or not enough inclusive. On the extreme scenario both are all genders, all alignements, all color and metal at the same...

I agree that random tables reflect their creator mindset. We can also find this advice on monsters and encounter placement « Certain pre-done modules might serve in your milieu, and you should consider their inclusion in light of your overall schema. If they fit smoothly into the diagram of...

Speaking strictly for DnD I never take the « lore » as an essential part of the game. For me Tiamat, the Drow, the orcs are setting and campaign creations and flavor. We can play without them, or changing them to fit our needs. For the 1ed phb and DmG there was strength limitation for female...

Surprise round nerf! it is a nerf for the PCs not the monsters! In 5ed it is the PCs that hunt the monster, it is the PCs with high skill bonus that are the predators. So the nerf to surprise is a nerf to the PCs.

I made a search I find this. List of magical weapons - Wikipedia For polearm mythic or magical I only cycle through WoW, Diablo and DnD reference.

Polearm master have been the graal of optimizer in 5.14 So popular that it almost rewrite fantasy: « Excalibur the famous polearm of King Arthur. » « My kingdom for a polearm » should Shakespeare write. I think it is time to slow down on polearm.

The only I rewatch from time to time is Kill Bill 1 & 2.

The mess around magic missile and bonus to damage rolls.

Martial combat are so cool that they continue to use them in all sci-fi movie and show.

Almost renaissance, like 1450. But no firearm. Absolutely no firearm. Dark medieval is too close for nice adventure. I want, guilds, travels, university, factions. I don’t want creepy medieval where everything was on the hold and anguish. Do I need train, not really. Airship, not really...

Ze game won’t change that much. Martials will be better at skills, having additional proficiency, advantage or bonus dice, but that won’t make a fundamental change. We saw some rules for the influence action, Search action, Study action, but that was just a way to normalize ruling. No...
