    WotC How much does Hasbro / WotC impact your feelings towards D&D?

    D&D 1, no effect I play the D&D we want and we love it. 2024 5e "d&d", a 5, I want absolutely nothing to do with it because wotc has made a "game" that does not appeal to me, nor is marketed towards me, don't like it, don't play it, ok.

    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    I insulted the art, not the people, I don't know them personally. I said it looked bad, like some of the really cheesy ai art from midjourney. Although once and a while I will see a derivative AI art piece that actually looks pretty cool, in a way, some scifi scenes and such.

    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    Never said the people who made it are bad people, just don't like their art at all. And Elmore was used as one of many who I can become inspired by looking at their art pieces. Art from his and others can really drive the imagination and inspire amazing game sessions. The art I'm seeing from the...

    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    I much prefer this style but agree Cowatuars is a bit of the vibe I'm getting. I'd prefer my Minotaurs a bit more ferocious looking.

    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    What's wrong with titillating in fantasy art? It doesn't have to be just curious why it can't be?

    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    "I" think those are not appealing and look janky to me, not liking them really at all, content, coloring, style not doing for me. And it's funny they actually look like midjourney art. :D The "artist" technical skills are not relevant to whether I have to like the art.

    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    Thats ok, the art is still also bad. Sure, some are hell bent on "loving" anything and really anything, they can do no wrong, content wotc 2024 throws their way. Thank goodness I don't feel that kind of social corporate loyalty to wotc or Hasbro. If the content is bad, and it's bad, I don't have...

    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    As in thinking the MM art is really bad, yep I'm serious, I think it's really bad compared to so much other "d&d" monster art I think is awesome.

    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    Naw, it's legit awful, beyond cringe inducing embarrassingly bad. It's a like someone said let's make some lame bubblegum fantasy art with some ai prompts and spent about an hour or two messing around. This is that, it's souless and uninspiring, it's at times just plain silly. The more...

    So Much Art From the 2025 Monster Manual

    Wow... it's so horrible, my goodness. I'm amazed just how bad it's gotten... good grief. :D Too hilarious at this point, it's like a parody.

    Dragonlance New Dragonlance Novels from Weis and Hickman in 2026

    Almost everything wotc touches now a days turns to dust, so this might actually be Dragonlance Dragonlance and not "wotc dragonlance" which is somewhat heartening and causes some slight optimism.

    D&D 5E (2024) Has the new PHB reveals made you want to stick to an older edition of D&D, or to move onto a 5e-adjacent RPG?

    100% without any doubt at all, 2024 D&D is not for me in any way, shape or form. I will stick with ShadowDark, DCC and 2014 5e when needed, also experimenting with C&C and some other "modern but have the feel and looks I find inspirational" rulesets. Getting off the wotc train as fast as I can.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    The accusations and innuendo were flying fast and furious... so yeah. But not feeling victimized, that was my point. I've stated numerous times my game scene rocks.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    And I think I made myself clear, no? Diversity of art content is not an auto fail. It's not anything... if the art is diverse by your specific definition above, and it's inspiring or in some way enjoyable, or creates a positive reaction, then it's good to the viewer. Being diverse by your...

    I love waffles! Belgian is legit, but there is a Swedish place by us that makes the most killer waffles I've ever had! :D
