I submit that if expanding the options was really their first priority, they would have just made a regular mini that could be easily found and purchased. Not made it part of the "blind box" lottery.

It's a subtle lesson in "when to flee an encounter."

The main GM in the group who's not me has ADHD and tends to drop campaigns in favor of the next new shiny. I'd say they average about 5 sessions. However, he's aware of this and typically plans episodic adventures rather than ambitious long-term storylines. He has finished some campaigns...

Didn't even imply it. My position is that, because of the nature of this particular project, they should have respected the vision of the original artist in this specific case.

This: https://www.dmsguild.com/product/335769/My-Dads-Monster-Manual It does have replacement stat blocks for the new monsters, so it goes a little further than just replacing the lore. But James Introcaso's father's mind comes up with some delightful spins on traditional D&D monsters.

Count me as a vote in the "No, not really" column.

Good thing I never said that, then.

I feel like this is a case where the better approach would have been to be nice.

You might like this book--I just got my copy from Kickstarter, and it looks like they're taking late orders: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/davidhamrick/gamemasters-survival-guide-writing-5e-adventures It breaks down 5E monsters into something similar to the 4E descriptor categories and...

Apparently Elmore has edited his post, which suggests that the original outburst was due to surprise.

Like I said, there are already plenty of female warrior minis. And they can make as many more as they can sell. There is no reason it has to be THIS one. It doesn't even have to be this one within the 50th anniversary line--as others have pointed out, there are plenty of female characters...

Then we disagree. But forgive me if I feel like I should have a little more say in whether I feel "represented" or not. I never felt un-represented before, so this new mini does nothing for me. Call it marketing, then. Didn't say it was. I just think that if you're going to market yourself as...

Do you really consider 13th Age to be D&D? I've only played it once, but it seemed about as far from D&D mechanically as, say, Mutants & Masterminds.

I understand perfectly how art interpretation works. But if you're hyping up how you are making 3-D versions of iconic paintings, that's the time to stick to the original intention. In other words, it's not that nobody can ever make free interpretations of other people's art without consulting...

Speaking as a woman, I don't feel that this is some huge deal for representation. It's a somewhat uncommon body type for female warrior minis, but even there, it's not a first or anything. In my personal opinion, making a mini that accurately reflected the original artist's vision would have...

I confess I am cynical enough to wonder if generating controversy was part of the intent, here.

I like a kick-butt sword-wielding woman as much as the next person, and I do commend the makers of the figure for keeping the proportions--you don't see a lot of female figures with that build. But I wish they'd consulted the original artist and followed his wishes. It seems disrespectful not...

Disclaimer: I haven't played any of these. But I've heard good things about all of them. https://modiphius.net/en-us/collections/odyssey-of-the-dragonlords https://www.dmsguild.com/product/269398/Heroes-of-Baldurs-Gate-5e...

Read this thread and where it went. Now imagine that discussion 500 times over. That's why there's no warlord equivalent in 5E. (So far, at least. But I kind of think that if there were a way to thread that needle that made the majority of fans happy, it would have been found by now.)

I don't think the OP was suggesting that D&D YouTubers should make entire videos about other systems. He just wanted them to mention other systems during their D&D-focused videos.
