Hmm, let me try again . . . and maybe I am misunderstanding your points . . . In classic D&D lore, of course the marilith was a female only demon. I don't think the vrock was male only, but maybe some past D&D supplement actually described them that way, I'd buy that with a credible reference...

Oh, I'm definitely missing part of the conversation due to the ignore feature . . . I guess what I'm trying to get at here . . . Embracing the new direction of WotC's lore and art direction with the marilith, medusa, hag, etc is a separate issue . . . for me at least . . . than whether demons...

I have. Multiple times. Of course, we're closing in on 1000 posts in the thread, so there's been a lot of drift and a lot of cycling back. It is the way of things. Are demons gendered, or should demons be gendered, is a different question than, does the marilith need to be only be a six-armed...

Need to eat? To bring in nourishment like you or I, or NEED to eat, pyschospiritually . . . whether it be the flesh of mortals or weird demon crops farmed on the 223rd layer of the Abyss . . . This argument overall is getting into the weeds and into ridiculous levels of silliness (although I...

Really? Yes, all of that sounds like potential good storytelling. The idea of demonic farms, demonic armies needing supply chains . . . yes, all sounds interesting to me. But in TTRPG stories about war . . . demonic or otherwise . . . those details are often overlooked. Which is okay, but...

Privatization of the US Postal Service and tariffs on all of our traditional trading partners . . . EVERYTHING is about to get more expensive. Games getting more expensive sounds like a "first world problem", and it is, but that also means that as businesses struggle to maintain customers at...

Dude, all is canon and nothing is canon. Relax. Planescape is part of the greater tapestry of D&D lore, whether you are personally familiar with it or not, whether you care for it or not. Again, relax man! This isn't an academic debate, this is simply a bunch of nerds fighting over what is or...

I'm missing a lot of the conversation in this thread, due to the ignore feature, but . . . Who says demons (and other spirit creatures) don't breed? The official lore has varied on this, but demons can be, 1) created from the evil essence of the lower planes, 2) transformed souls, and 3) made...

I have a buddy who loves GURPS, has since college way back in the 90s . . . I have zero interest in playing GURPS. The game has been around for a long time and clearly has fans, it has withstood the test of time! I'm not even all that familiar with the game system, so I'm not even sure why I'm...

There were digital tools being developed for release with both 3E and then later 4E . . . a 3D VTT was definitely a part of the package for 4E, and I think 3E too . . . but, heck it's all vapor ware. :)

Now that I posted . . . was the 3D VTT supposed to debut with 3E or 4E? I sometimes get WotC's attempts at digtal tools confused . . . either way, 25 years or 17 years, it's been a while.

WotC had made decent progress on a 3D VTT to debut alongside THIRD EDITION way back in 2000 . . . . the fact it's taken about 25 years for anybody to bring a successful 3D VTT to market speaks to the difficulty of the task.

Calm down. A man has passed, a complicated man with flaws and strengths. Of all the fan sites on interwebs, the moderation here at ENWorld is the best there is. I am not a fan of Ernie Gygax, also don't have the energy to hate him, and fully support the mods asking us reasonable things like...

Thanks for digging up the quote, I'll have to give that to you. It wasn't part of the narrative when Larian first dropped the news they weren't doing more D&D games, but clearly it's come up in later interviews. But . . . I'm still not buying into the idea that Pathfinder is any more or less...

That is most definitely NOT why Larian isn't going to be making DLC for Baldur's Gate 3 or any future D&D titles. According to Larian CEO Sven Vincke, they simply want to move on and do new things. And how is Pathfinder any more or less "limiting" than D&D 5E when it comes to CRPG adaptations?

Live, but open beta. I had just received my alpha test codes about a week before, which is kinda funny. The tool is still in development. This is normal for video games, and this is being developed very similarly to a video game. It's fine.

Well, nevermind . . . as soon as I posted, the update finally went through and the installer completed! Just poked around a bit tonight . . . building maps was fun, but that's not really what I want. I want a complete set of maps for all Curse of Strahd encounters (for example) so that I can...

I can't get the installer to complete the installation . . . it gets stuck on "Update" and I can't launch the app. :(

Does the ORC license, intentionally or otherwise, allow for computer adaptations? I know that wasn't the intent of the OGL, but we ended up with Solasta anyway. One of the reasons WotC got cranky and tried to disappear the OGL (IMO) . . . I'll cautiously look forward this, as CRPGs are my...

Really? Seems on point. Six arms, humanoid torso, snaky below the waist. Seems very marilith to me.
