Now I’m being goth-splained to. I need to go lie down.

I mean, maybe don’t goth-shame people if you don’t want to deal with other goths coming to their defense.

Maybe don't assume I'm shaming people. Maybe don't assume I'm not a goth, too.

Maybe don't assume I'm shaming people.

I don’t know how else to interpret accusations of attention-seeking and making characters with Isekai anime backstories.

Maybe don't assume I'm not a goth, too.

I don’t know you, I only know what you post, and what you posted suggested a misapprehension of what goth is about. If I misread you, by all means please clarify your intent.

Cool! Yeah, I thought it was 3rd party, but I wasn’t 100% sure.

Tyranny is definitely a demon, not a tiefling. I watched an interview where Whitney talked about it, and she said the character concept literally started as just “I want to play a hot, pink demon,” and she said she didn’t realize at the time that demon wasn’t a playable D&D species, but that Brennan eagerly agreed to work with her to figure out a way to let her play one.

Gotta say I’m quickly reaching the point I wanna see character sheets and campaign maps and the whole shebang. I’m really digging the setting.

And we know Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford are on the team specifically to help with integrating homebrew into the 2024 rules.

Completely forgot about that. Jeah, Brennan is fine.

It sounded far more like Brennan thanking the behind the camera people at D20 and CR for their hard work in making these TV shows possible. Camera operators, set design, lighting, makeup, etc. Not that other people were co-DMs.

That would be quite a weird phrasing to thank the camera people. Brennan said multiple times that he has a creative team and CR also has staff like Dani Karr who is officialy a lore keeper. And like stated above they have frigging Perkins and Crawford on the team! You really think homebrew is a problem for them? You really think they don't want players to get homebrew mechanics?

Its clear that they embrace it, you don't have any reason to worry and its just your personal aversion of players like Taliesin.

But interestingly enough this discussion evoked something in me. I previously stated that I also don't like players with so many homebrew wishes at my table and shut them down. Maybe I'll change that now. Maybe I will see if and how I can get them their fantasy wish fullfillment, because isn't that a big reason we have this hobby.
