D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

If WotC put that picture in any book, they would be crucified for it.

If WotC put that in a free book? Why complain?

 

[Remathilis]

But do the trains run on time?

Only in Eberron. House Orien assures us.

I actually know what the site is. I was a frequenter in the 3e era. You didn't answer my question.

There is no revision.
From their perception, I'd imagine, they are not embracing racists tropes, from your perception they are.
Capiche?

Ah yes, AI slop is justified depending on how much money you are charging for it. Glad we have established that.

So they're fine with racist caricatures AND AI slop.

Glad I stopped visiting a decade ago.

We can't all be excellent.

As far as I am concerned, yes. I have no issue with AI being used provided a company/person isn't getting paid for the material they use it in. A lot ot people put out free homebrew with AI art. I guess they should all be punished for it?

Yeah, I am glad we established that! Frankly, most of the AI "slop" (as you call it) is superior to the garbage WoTC is putting into the new books. Fortunately, artwork preference is subjective--so you can keep calling it AI slop if you want and I'll keep calling the artwork in the new books garbage. How does that sound? Good? Good.

And I am so sure they miss you...

At least the "garbage" that WotC is putting out was made by real people who got paid to do it, rather than going cheap and effortlessly making stuff with prompts.

Prompt writers are not artists and never will be.

But yeah, these arguments are only cementing my perceptions of a lack of empathy in some corners of our hobby. Glad that's sorted out.

Anyside that refuses to compromise and insists their way is the right way I see as unreasonable.

Do you see the irony? I do.

So we should have kept strength caps on women, but just as a sidebar? What about race as class, but just as a sidebar? We should keep blatently overpowered 3.5 subclasses, just as a sidebar?

There are several problems with « keep everything as a sidebar ».
1. Certain elements are mutually exclusive.
2. Not making a decision is also making a decision.
3. Further to the last point, what content are you willing to cut to accommodate all these new sidebars?
