D&D General Weird "DnD Is Dead" Youtube Trend??

Usually if you block the channel, you stop getting their shorts as well (if that’s what you’re aiming for.)

Yup. I’ve found a number of channels starting second channels just for their shorts. Those channels end up with nothing but shorts so finding the Do Not Recommended button is not possible so far when there’s nothing but.

Ahhh haven’t thought of that. Yeah that sucks.

Art isnt neutral.

Man where are y'all when I complain about the 5.5 art. I always get the exact opposite take there.

The art thst is generally great, and not odious...?

What ethical issue do you have with the current 5e art?

I respect your opinion but, let's be brutally honest here: Does anyone actually remember the draconic pantheon except for Tiamat, Bahamut, and maybe Sardior?

Frankly I thought the draconic pantheon were TSR being TSR and gap filling with sloppy worldbuilding. They are not missed, they were not impressive pieces of worldbuilding, and the fact they're replaced with normal dragons with barely any change speaks to that. Just slapping "oh they're the god of draconic X" doesn't make an exciting pantheon. Mind, TSR couldn't build a pantheon their way out of a wet paper bag

Fair point. Most mainstream D&D players couldn't care less that the draconic pantheon got chopped down to just two lesser deities. And WotC certainly doesn't care about a handful of nerds like me who actually liked Chronepsis and Io. That’s exactly why I moved over to PF2e. Pathfinder's dragon deities and worldbuilding just appeal to me a lot more.

Can’t you just run the lore the way you want at your table?

Well, also...at a certain point, there may be diminishing returns for "DM advise" content.

I think a lot of new DMs that came to the hobby during Covid are "trained" now.

And brand new ones have a bazillion options.
