D&D (2024) Heroes of the Borderlands

[Charlaquin]

Evil people still exist to be slaughtered. They're just not evil because they have red skin with big noses.

Yeah, but probably not their domestic partners and children

This would have been a perfect 50 year celebration project. Especially as they did a 25 year silver anniversary reboot. But we have to wait another year?

The classic Keep on the Borderlands isn't really about the keep, but more about the Caves of Chaos. Seemingly, this product will expand on the actual keep as well as the wilderness in between and around the locations (in addition to likely giving the Caves a serious reworking).

Return to the Keep on the Borderlands added a bit more drama to the keep itself.

I thought for a second that gearbox was making a d20 version of borderlands. This is okay too I guess.

Or….i know this is gonna sound crazy….or they can get the new generation of game designers to make….seriously; hold on to your hat….new products.

For a design ethos that doesn’t place value on lore; they keep leaning on the old lore they don’t value.

Its not about the lore, its about the name recognition. They are more than happy to dump the lore, but the 'brand'? Now that has value.

Lore is a resource to be mined, not a set of shackles to bind.

So you quit buying their products because you can't kill orc babies anymore?

Dude....

No, wisenheimer, I quit buying their stuff because they stopped making product with an eye towards simulation and setting logic. Removing families from an adventure because their design philosophy changed (not for any setting reason) is the kind of thing I'm talking about.

I don't appreciate the implied accusation, by the way.

That’s something I might say if I didn’t want to do my history homework.
