Doesn't matter if it was the dying days, that's your comparison point. That was Dark Sun's last gasp for decades. If you say you want it back to 2E days, that's 2E days. Surfing lizardmen. Writers pet NPCs killing off all the big threats rather than letting the players handle it. That's the...

I'd argue Athas.org probably isn't an unbiased source per those high numbers of 2E which, is a bit of a Spiders Georg situation going on, as outside of that, that is absolutely not the numbers you'd be seeing for 2E games elsewhere 5E Athas didn't kitchen sink it, though. The additions were...

Most of the reaction to 4E I saw was it was a return to form and a lot of people applauding it for going backwards in the timescale, along with very specifically ignoring the Prism Pentad The biggest upset was with Dray but like.... Dray were given playable stats in the 2E and there was a whole...

Plus if there's a China equivilent in your setting, there'd probably be myths from out that way about how they're handled there. And for extra fun, dragonborn out that way absolutely would not be hated over that end, but instead basically be a celebrity, with all of the expected drama of 'yo...

D&D's got a massive history of making formerly NPC races playable. Complete Book of Humanoids, after all, and Drow themselves have been promoted straight into the PHB these days Also like, one of the D&D MMOs even put 'em in. Which is surprising because it was the older one, not Neverwinter...

Ehhh, I'm gonna.... Doubt on that one Max if only due to the Sights I've Seen. This may be because my brain is tainted by Warcraft but you'd better believe there were plenty of druids just longuing around as bears, folks using clothing to give themselves horns and dragon wings to appear as...

Only hits too many once we hit Lupin variants numbers, and I'm pretty sure Dragonborn haven't got that bad yet

Absolutely could. Same with class selection. If someone wants to play a warlock and gets told "Oh, we're playing a low magic so you can only pick from half the classes in the game" then, isn't that person entitled to go "Cool, good luck, game isn't for me" and leave? Or, y'know, me being an...

We're all in hypotheticals in this situation, let's be honest. Has anyone requested Dragonborn in the dragonborn-denying games, given that Dragonborn are a notoriously underpowered race that you only ever play for flavour? Playable stats in every edition except Basic and 4E in some form of...

I mean, both hard requirements, but one is "Hey, this game has supported this particular option in every edition except 4E, its not considered overpowered, I would like to play it", and the other is "This realm is solid enough that this re-occurring Dungeons and Dragons monster type cannot and...

Is a cat person all it takes for it to be a game you don't want? Animal people have been in this game since day 1 with the original pig orcs, and gnolls became hyena people, cynocephs (dog-headed people) are more medievally accurate than halflings or orcs even existing, and 'cat person' is a...

While they do, the thing is, D&D's a social game and that goes the other way as well. A GM who excludes everything the player wants on shakey grounds is going to be a GM who finds themselves without players. There is a push and pull of requirements because, in the end, the story isn't the GM's...

I mean it'd attract attention but like.... Its D&D. There's far weirder. Dragons can already talk and given the existence of stories, folks absolutely have probably heard some equivilent of "Down on her luck person is friendly to random person coming by, turns out he's a respledent gold dragon...

Would that really be telling to most people though? I don't think most associate Tabaxi with their 5E storyline specifics or being created by gods, I think its 'I want to be cat person/Hrothgar/Khajiit", that sheer archetype. Like, not just in fantasy, in sci-fi the archetype goes back absolute...

Oh, people would go worse for the sake of yourself do not look up people's reactions to the Xenomorph Queen in Dead by Daylight Oh, that's just Buer, great president of Hell, fifty legions of demons, capable of healing all injuries and knows a lot about plants Except with lion legs rather...

There aren't many of us gnome fans out there, but we're devoted As for alignment, I just don't use it

action figures remains part of why I rule that Yuan-Ti are snake people. Like in He-man or those Lego Ninjago sets But that's more "I have cracked open all the Lego sets, strewn them about, and am letting you go nuts"

I play loose 1: Setting specific stuff needs to be generic-ified. I'm fine with Warforged, that's easy. I'm not fine with Dragonmarks or Hybrids given their setting specific-ness. Also not fine with Kender 2: Homebrew needs to be vetted but I'll consider anything 3: One of my first...

If I remember right, the author did up all of the followers from BG1 up in the comic's artstyle at one point. The various extras they've done on the book showing how all the different species all look different to each other were also pretty neat

Don't gotta give oxygen to this nonsense I mean if we were giving publicity to anyone something something twitch dot tv slash Mecheon something something
