A lot of this thread seems to be imagining people and situations to get mad at, because surely session 0 and talking to people in good faith would solve all of these problems 99% of the time? But like…if a player REALLY insisted on being a tortle, and my setting REALLY didn’t have tortles, I...

My take on this is I would just ask the warlock player how they want to handle their patron, and then I would do that. This seems like a session 0 issue. For me playing a warlock without patron drama is like ordering spaghetti bolognese without the sauce. But some people prefer buttered...

Not at all. But it's fun to think and post and write articles and make videos about it. It would be cool if this prompted D&D to grow in a more interesting direction, but 🤷‍♂️

It's so heartwarming to see Goodman Games stand by their deeply held progressive values of having their cake and eating it to. And in Pride Month no less! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

I mean it's fine. It's yet another spellcaster, for folks who want such things. More of Mind Mage than a psion. This doesn't hit the fantasy for me. Jean Grey doesn't need ruby dust to make a force cage, and I've never seen Emma Frost prepare her spells.

Live footage from Goodman Games HQ: I'm so glad they gave Bob II this spotlight. Can't wait for the youtube video on this one.

But who are we all talking about? Bledsaw. Who will and must be brought up in conversations about CSIO? Bledsaw. Who is celebrating this revival as triggering the libs? People who think like Bledsaw. I guess Goodman Games just really, really wants to touch that poop. It's an "honor", they say...

Oh, I'm not going to. I do have a special interest in Judges Guild stuff, mostly because they were/are somewhat local to me, but my interest does not outweigh my repulsion. Internet Archive has me covered. And I'm certainly not telling anyone not to back this. If you are more interested in a...

It's not that gone. A lot (if not all) old JG stuff is archived, easily accessible to anyone who really wants it. It's not in print, but your local library can help with that for just a few cents a page. It may not be statted for 5e or DCC, but in the spirit of the OSR just do that stuff...

Forgive me for not combing the many threads on this, but do we know WHY Goodman Games is doing this? Refunding the original backers is very nice of them, but why are they doing it? Are they obligated by something? Is this some kind of attempt to heal the brand in preparation for GG buying the...

There can only be one. Maybe the real Project Sigil was the gold dragon minis we pre-ordered along the way?

As someone who has little interest in stat blocks, I do find the brevity of the lore disappointing. The art is beautiful though.

Oh, I was being facetious 😅 However! The species and background cards with dedicated zones kind of remind me of what Daggerheart does with the Community and Ancestry cards (or least how it was in the playtest, I have not been following Daggerheart that closely).

Cards on the character sheet? The doors Daggerheart opened.

Yeah, I think I will see myself out too. I feel like disliking the new design is being taken as some kind of statement or position that I am not taking, and its starting to feel uncomfortable. But! I will say it's Alanis Morissette ironic to me that your profile pic is Lae'zel, because she is...

For me, its the lack of elegance, sleekness, and danger. The old marilith gives the impression of wicked grace. She's cunning, cold, a peerless tactician. She's war incarnate, and she knows it. And she will make sure every other demon in the abyss knows it, too. 2024 marilith, on the other...

Not for me, no. My taste in cheescake runs in a very different direction (ie dudes). But the lack of sexiness is curious to me. Because there doesn't appear to be any reason for it, or for any of the changes. She isn't sexy, but there are other sexy monsters in the book. If they didn't want to...

I would assume the core monster book would show creatures in their factory default state, for branding purposes if nothing else. Anything after that is a variation on the theme, and I would expect the Monster Manual to BE the theme. As the foundational monster book for the edition, that's its...

2024 wyvern looks cartoony, goofy, and dumb. And...I think it's kind of adorable? I love its big dumb smile. I kind of disagree, because this is THE Monster Manual, ostensibly released during the game's 50th anniversary. This isn't where I would expect to see variants or alternate takes on...
