Fantasy medieval has always been a bit anachronistically modern that has wobbled in the edges towards different time periods.

I'd even argue that thanks to Wheel of Time becoming so popular a lot of fantasy made afterwards have a more renaissance or early age of enlightenment tone than medieval. And this includes the sponge that is D&D.

I call it fantasy. There's nothing there that makes cities taboo. Just as I don't call a fantasy setting that takes place in a huge forest for National Park Fantasy. If it's a campaign pitch you want then I might say something like "it's a city campaign in fantasy setting." But it's still just...

Why should WotC make a new setting when they could bring back the old ones? First off, it's not a pick one. You can do both. And second, because making something that's your own is way more fun than update something from between 50 to 30 years ago. The people there deserve some of that too...

Sometimes Youtube sneak things past the Do Not Recommend because it feels like it, and it's not applied to searches or playlists or anything really besides the home tab. The removal of the block function was terrible.

If you want moralizing from a different direction, a friend who draws porn rolled their eyes the hardest at this art.

One would hope! Although TSR was pretty bad at art direction so I guess he has some practice in that too. I would say a lot of art done by Easley/Elmore/Caldwell/Parkinson back in the day would today be a bit too passive for a cover if you want it to attract people's attention. (And I say this...

Ah, I've yet to look at the spell pages of the new PHB so I've missed it. But it really should be the cover of this book IMO, even if it's a reuse.

The big problem is the meta-story but I'd love an iteration of stuff from unused MtG worlds and make it into something new for D&D. Floating island from Zendikar mixed with the more fairytale aestetics of Eldraine.

It's boring pin-ups in a way that makes me guess it's a game made for the people still on Twitters.

No matter how much I feel I should defend Easley, the preview image in the other thread is to me far better. It's mid-action rather than posing before or after a fight.

Would also throw in people like Mystic Arts who picked up after Colville stopped with Running the Game and Corkboards & Curiosities. They both mainly went the patreon route which is less beholden to the Youtube algorithm.

There's a big difference between channels focused on making things for ttrpgs or running games and the ones with reviews and ttrpg news. I find the later drift towards clickbait far more often, possibly becaus it's easier to notice the spikes.in the statistics.

This is based on my interaction with Greyhawk fans — it's never been a setting I've been interested in as such and I'm sure this in turn colours what I've seen — but no matter what choice you make for what Greyhawk era to showcase, you will make people upset because it's not "their" Greyhawk...

I don't see how that can be a slight against Gary when GaryCon started a year after his death. I also think this was also during 4th edition. If people at a con is aggressively uninterested in your game, why are you spending money to be there?

Not all of them were because of WotC even if one don't take into consideration how very few — possibly none! — that's there today were involved in the company decision process back in 3e. Ernie Gygax did a lot of rift makings with NuTSR.

It's going to be really hard to get a new Keith cover. And considering everything else, I don't think that would be a smart use of a miracle even if that would have been amazing. For some art Jeff is way better than Larry for me, but sometimes he's not. And in this case, it's a little boring...

I think you should prepare for being disappointed then. It's going to be a book for 5.5e, they're not going to spend time and people to remake the current system for a one-off book.

https://www.ign.com/articles/nvidia-confirms-dlss-5-is-re-drawing-games-and-that-sucks?utm_source=bluesky,threads,twitter So way far less control for the devs. And considering the images they used for hype, it has way less understanding of environmental lighting than they pretend and tends...

It's not just the face, it changes the skintone of black people in very inconsistent ways. I can't believe I have to say this on a forum about elf games: realism isn't the only artistic expression worth to pursue. Stylisations isn't only because of technology — but it might be — and some of...
