I don’t get it.

there’s like ten different ways people call the update - OneD&D, OD&D, ODD, 5.5, 5e 2024, 5.24. We have to wait and see which one will stick, I just hope it’s not Od&D because that one was already used for original White Box.

If I had a penny every time Marvel made beefy Russian guy with whips, I would have two pennies. Which isn’t much but it’s weird there’s two of them.

I did not expect to find Angela has connections to THAT Guild, if I’m reading the hinds correctly.

In Pathfinder 2e I think Half-Elf, half-Orc, and their equivalent of Tiefling and Aasimar are variants you can apply to other species.

We didn’t have half-races in BECMI, despite having a guy who was going by the title “Half-Orc”, he was just really ugly.

I wish it wasn’t so obsessed with being upset about miniscule changes.

Isn’t that twink a Goblin, tho?

Also, I’m ok with this, helps diffirentiate them from Goliaths. And Orcs were never potrayed as Goliath-sized.

A lot of the games that I see coming out are faar from a “5e clone”. No need to be rude to people who are creative for not just playing pathfinder.

A lot of rpgs I see made this way go long way from 5e clone.

That’s been true for multiple d&d editions too, especially 3/3.5 and 2e (argurably this is what killed TSR). 5e/ODD should have learned from these lessons, but shareholders jsut want to see the line go up, I guess.

I would go further, this isi an issue with EVERY game, not just D&D

Yes, this baffles me as well.

If I could draw, I would draw this and Tarrasque would be chasing kinds on bikes in this ford

I tried to push for more practical approach to playing without a single player, but both in my D&D and in my Blades in the Dark groups, players just feel…uncomfortable with the idea and don’t want to play if all players aren’t there. I once proposed a system where we could play in smaller groups to accomodate one player’s schedule not matching others…and upon realizing they wouldn’t be playing in full squad in this sytem, that player just quit the campaign.

Fun fact, MCDM’s Flee Mortals! book has its own stand-in for Tarrasque - Goxomoc. Fool’s Gold: Into the Bellowing Wilds also has Dire Tarrasque

This is because WotC designs for mass appeal, so their monsters need to be fair challenge even for an underoptimized group. Which makes them pathetically weak if you’re playing with anyone else.

Also, because playtesters at Wizards don’t use any magic items for some reason

Yes, it was in Acts of Vengeance, where Loki gathered various supervillains and suggested they switch their enemies in a grand alliance to destroy heroes. Loki assumed they’re all evil so they’ll get along…and then had a surprised pikachu when Magneto used portals, that Loki set between villain bases and their meeting hall, to go to Red Skull’s base, wreck it and kidnapp the guy.

Angela is a great example of a Paladin.

It’s not ai, I remember seeing this art years before ai art theft was a thing.
