Mod Note: Hey, dial it back, please. Positions of the form, "You must somehow have cognitive impairment to disagree with me," are themselves a problem. Please engage your own critical thinking skills, and realize that on the internet, your own approach, statements like the above, will tend...

Purple? Nay, sir! This prose is positively amaranthine! Heliotropic phraseology, to unlatch the conscribed space of our mundane experience, to consider untold vastness of possibilities heretofore unthought by mere moral entities such as ourselves....

So, I have realized, this kerfuffle is really what Radiant Citadel is about. Radiant Citadel is a product created by diverse authors, saying, in effect, "Hey, you know, D&D can represent a lot of stuff. There's room for all sorts of different cultures we can depict here." Taylor Swift, of all...

Oh, sorry. Gonna poke a hole in this one... big enough to fly a spaceship through. In Journeys Through the Radiant Citadel, the titular Radiant Citadel connects to 27 different civilizations. The adventure presents connections to 13 of them. One of them has high heels. This does not imply...

Anyone here ever read the Michael Moorcock short story, "The Stone Thing"? In it, Moorcock parodies his own style of description and purple prose. Mercilessly.

What I see is likely the setup for an acrimonious argument.

Ah, the no-win scenario. On the one hand, D&D has been lauded for its support of the community of house ruling. On the other hand, D&D gets criticized if anyone ever feels a need to use a house rule.

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?"
