    D&D 5E (2014) Rename the Monster Manual

    Oh thanks! :D But the remaining of the post is also valid... Specially the part of not being sure if it's a real subject or not, and not being the good judge for that... Indeed, the name is rad :)

    D&D 5E (2014) Rename the Monster Manual

    Well, reading the first post I wasn't sure if it was a parody thread or a serious one... and I think that's part of the problem. A part of me would see the name changing of the Monsters Manual as something really sad, the part that has been used to PHB, DMG et MM for more than 30 years, and...

    D&D 5E (2014) New products featuring Vistani will be?

    Yeah, a character from Elven ancestry, an ancestral heritage... I like it a lot. But you cannot say the Elven ancestry as you say the Elven people. In fact, I am not sure... Let's say we have a Dwarf orphan adopted as a baby into an Elven community (let's say some Elven adventurers found her as...

    D&D 5E (2014) Decoupling ancestry and culture

    To deal with class bonus, I really love the way of the Class Modifier Module by GabeJamesGames For me it's the most elegant, sensitive and fun-to-play idea I have seen for the classes, and indirectly for ancestries and cultures. For every class you have a three questions to answer about how...

    D&D 5E (2014) WotC Confirms Horror-themed Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden

    The stacked kobolds under a coat image is simply wonderful! They have succeeded to not make it ridiculous or funny, that's a big feat!

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    Well, I am guilty there, I reckon. I didn't looked for a confrontation, honestly, or for getting the high moral ground, but yeah, I dived into a detail point of your post. Sadly it's in the nature of internet forum that things escalate, as textual communication lacks the non verbal elements...

    Oh, crap, I think I missed the D&D 3.5 buy back! Oh even more crap, I missed the D&D 3 too several years before! What a awful day, I realized now I missed the AD&D 2e and the AD&D 1e buy backs then, I was younger at the time, I would have loved those extra bucks! And the Basic D&D buy back?

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    Well, maybe, but I was just answering to the idea that a plate clad pink haired gnome girls slugging it out with a Dragon is jarring and doesn't make sense in universe. In an universe were dragons roam the land, were archimages cast spells, where fighters can survive to tens of sword cuts...

    Very true, her perceived exotisme and the associated prejudice are the key of the book: racism, discrimination, xenofobia, fetishism, you have it all in Notre Dame de Paris. Hugo was a great writer with a very modern mindset. Indeed!!

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    Well, let me answer for me before, I find rad the idea of plate clad pink haired gnome girls slugging it out with a Dragon. The making sense part makes me wonder, which part doesn't make sense for you ? A plate clad girl slugging it out with a Dragon, sense or not? A plate clad gnome...

    D&D General WotC’s Official Announcement About Diversity, Races, and D&D

    It isn't a French name, Esmeralda is a Spanish name, and Esmerelda is a weird fantastic version of it. BTW, the Esmeralda name in the Hunchback of Notre Dame it's also a stereotype, but an old one: Victor Hugo named the character Esmeralda, as it's a Spanish name and sounded exotic, and he...
