You're the one who suggested that being able to ride a dragon was innovative, and that's why the Purple Dragon Knight got shouted down by the community. Don't blame me for pointing out that being a dragonrider was not only an innovation that D&D had hit upon much earlier in its life than you...

To be clear, while Gygax minimized the influence of Tolkien on D&D, he did concede that things such as hobbits, orcs, ents, etc. were derived from his work. No, that was Douglas Niles. As per Shannon Appelcline's history of FR2 Moonshae: Meanwhile, Jeff Grubb and Ed Greenwood were preparing...

You're playing fast and loose with the truth. Again. I brought up Council of Wyrms not because it was the most recent "actual" (whatever that means) change in the game, but because it directly undercut your assertion that having mechanics for riding dragons was an innovation that WotC pulled...

I always enjoyed Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic (YAFGC), but since it has a not-inconsiderable number of NSFW instances, I'm going to play it safe and not link to it here.

Which is to say, you were opposed to Planescape's innovations, and yet they went through anyway. So clearly D&D has innovated over the course of its fifty-plus years of history. Leaving aside the prerequisite bickering over what constitutes "real" changes, this is a good reminder that not all...

I suppose it's germane to link to this article from the Forgotten Realms wiki: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Earth#Religion

If Nobanion is still around, then as per Dragon #54, he's Aslan from C. S. Lewis' Narnia books, who (spoiler alert) is actually Jesus by another name.

Would you care for a more recent example of you complaining about "incorporating a bunch of lore I happen not to like" instead, then? That you're criticizing people for saying now what you said then. Actually, Council of Wyrms not only let you play a dragon, but also a demihuman "kindred" that...

Aren't you the guy who hated all over Planescape's innovations as a "needless intrusion", with its "bogus distinction" between demons and devils that was being "crammed down your throat"?

Auto-Tune.

As opposed to the usual style of forum content:

I think that's it! The fact that its spellcasting tops out at 5th-level spells is unusual, yet matches perfectly with the list of dawnblade spells in Resnet's Spellbook, which is also by Hudspeth Games! Thank you very much! :D

The mentions of WotC's later 3.5 classes reminds me of something I've been trying to get for some time now. Several years ago, Quentin Hudspeth of Hudspeth Games released a free variant of the duskblade class, called the dawnblade, over on his company's website. I've been trying to grab the...

"Ken Burns on how screwed Asmodeus is." Apparently it's a bad time to be an arch-devil, but the documentary should be a lot of fun.

From now until the end of the month, Raging Swan Press is offering a special deal, called The Dread Bundleonomicon, which collects three of their biggest books—The Dread Dungeononomicon, The Dread Laironomicon, and The Dread Thingonomicon—together for 25% off! Hurry and pick it up before time...

All WotC learned from the OGL scandal was that they needed to be subtler in their attempts to exploit their customer base.

"WizKids to Release Karen Figure for D&D" Turns out it was actually "kraken figure," so it won't have a "let me speak to your manager" attack.

Here's Krisp's summary of the video:

I use their iterative attack mechanics.
