Well, just because I'll be happy with what they did with A doesn't mean I approve B. An interesting concept however. People changing for the sake of changing it, and not due to improvement's sake. Anti-traditionists. I think of house rules like Skyrim mods. At the end of the day, everyone wants...

Person, I was kidding. I didn't know the rulebooks' release date - for all I knew those books would be coming in December of 2022. That said ... Hoard of the Dragon Queen released without the DM Guide, so it would be funny if this time they would release their first 6th Edition...

I think that it's for the 6th Edition.

I think I like what I hear and read. Basically, the way I see it, if I have to be 'up to date', rules wise, I have to put away my three core rulebooks and use the new ones. However, every single adventure/campaign book of 5th Edition can be perfectly played and used in this next edition of D&D...

Dungeons and Dragons: Fixing our monsters one Edition at a time. :LOL:

I agree with everything! My concern, and conundrum, is what happens if players complain about the racism displayed in the Witcher, because it reminds them of the oppression they deal with in real life and makes them depressed or uncomfortable, and ask for a change? What should happen then...

Honestly ... I'm conflicted. I just read Elfcrusher's aarakocra example, and the Witcher games came to mind. In case you're not familiar with the Witcher books / video games, demihumans there are portrayed as 2nd class citizens and victims of racism. This isn't meant as a low poke on...

In your opinion, should all creatures be re-written like the orcs and drow? Even Gnolls? Or only races which are possible candidates for PCs?

First of all, thank you for providing data (on the other poster's behalf), really appreciate it. Now let's nitpick those rules: First of all, there is absolutely no mention of good characters being penalized for granting mercy to evil humanoids who surrender - as I expected. Yes, but we're...

I have no intention of apologizing to you, because I was neither rude, nor did I say something wrong. Like I said, I've only played BECMI, 3rd and 5th. Also had read the rules of 4th a little bit. I have no experience with AD&D. But please, by all means, point me to the rules in AD&D which...

I was about to make a thread about this! I have a thing for recipes and food in RPGs ever since I played Legaia II on my PlayStation 2, and it was revitalized with Final Fantasy XV. I want to make a house rule where these courses will give temporary buffs to the characters, but they'll also...

I've only played WarCraft II. Back then, there was nothing, absolutely nothing redeemable about the Horde. Chaotic Evil to the core.

If you consider these two threads 'dumpster fires', I advise you to never, EVER set foot in the GameFaqs forums.

Dear God - no! I like my fluff!

By 'your' and 'you' I meant the leaders the Americans had back then, using propaganda to the American people back then.

Weren't we talking about how creature descriptions ring racist bells to some people? How does it not got anything to do with the topic?

That's literally how BECMI edition rolled, back in the day. There were no moral conundrums. It was all about going to place X and kill monster Y.

Honestly? Not for me. I have played BECMI, a little of 3rd Ed, and 5th Ed. Both as a player and as a DM. I have never read somewhere in the rules that orcs were an inferior or stupid race. They were always labeled as a menace to humanoid societies (humans, dwarves and elves). I didn't live in...

I don't know how old you are, but that was the message I got when I played the BECMI D&D (Black Box) version, 25 years ago.

smiles A very good trap you're laying there, good sir! I salute you! You're saying that by acting all genocidal towards the orcs, the PCs are no better than the Mind Flayers, and this is something we - as gamers - must avoid. But I was under the impression this thread was about not having...
