@TheBasicExpert1 I’ll take a look, but I am skeptical about attacks on old school creators. I didn’t care for WotC going after Gygax, Arneson, et al. There seems to be a rise of attacks on old content creators and it doesn’t sit well with me, especially in “D&D History” books.

@MindForgeLLC Per usual, like he's done with Doom, he exaggerates.

Then every historical resource (including the writing of Applecline) on this is wrong and you should be on a campaign to remedy it. Greg and Lynn are no longer with us to say otherwise.

Lynn Willis (RIP) and Greg Stafford (RIP) were a big part of this invention of the d6 system as well. Not just Sandy.
Greg Costikyan at West End Games stripped the system down and rebuilt it for Star Wars.

@TheBasicExpert1 Sandy answered your post. Was his answer in sufficient to you?
English
@TheBasicExpert1 You cannot copyright rules. This has been a long standing issue in ttrpgs. As a person who has published content, you should know this TBE.
English
Sandy couldn't copyright the rules because Chaosium as a whole was hired by West End Games to design Ghostbusters.

@memeslich I mean Bard slew Smaug with just one black arrow?

Dungeons & Dragons has dragons that are far too easy to kill and defeat.

@ViktorGorchev Easy fix: shitpost about your projects! No wait, erm. Make a project about shitposts? Still bot quite it. I got nothing.
English
I wish the algorithm let my posts about my projects get the same traction as random shitposts.

@Wizards_DnD I wish there was a way, but without an overhaul of the entire company, I don’t see it happening. Best shot is if another company does for WotC what WotC did for TSR and buy them out. People who love the game and want to see it prosper. Not… this.

@Nobleshield @CrusaderCool They tried and failed to get their own VTT off the ground. They hired new personnel with background with online gaming. They declared that 5.5E was not a new edition but editionless. It would just be continually updated as needed through D&DB. Like an online game.
English
@Nobleshield @CrusaderCool That’s done on purpose. WotC is intentionally getting await from print books and brick-and-mortar stores. They have made a concentrated effort to go digital. Hence why they bought D&DBeyond, preferred selling PDFs to physical books.
English
Frustrating there's no D&D play to support like a true open table anymore. And most people who ask about it aren't interested in old versions or games "like" D&D; they mean the currently supported version.
English
So I asked Grok what its anthem would be and I was a bit taken a back.

@Sassafrass_84 Technically, abstinence failed once.
English
@MindForgeLLC And this is a point I'm confused about: they're obsessed with balanced encounters, but use this design approach.
English
Since I'm writing backwards from 5e, it's rather funny that I've gotten rather salty about 3e/3.5/Pathfinder because of the design approach Monte Cook posted about in 2008, where effectively they ensured the game's design would have "better" and "worse" options a priori.

@GuntherEagleman You would not have a complete education without studying one of the most important historical texts in the world.

@SandyofCthulhu My brain just exploded. Surely, surely all sides are trolling?
English
@Gingerblast How about 3d20, take the Median (drop lowest and highest). Gives a more normal distribution but keeps the numbers the same. Folds into the idea of ADV/DIS (sort of both at the same time). Easier math.
English
Confession: in my IRL game, my most egregious homebrew rule is I allow both players and DM to roll 2d10 anytime they want instead of a D20 for a more reliable chance of a middling roll, but a lower chance of a crit
Harmony Ginger@Gingerblast
Players deserve to have a set of rules to refer to so that they may reliably plan ahead. They should feel confident that if their plan is rules legal, the DM will honor those rules. This isn't anti-homebrew; homebrew should be written and available to players for this purpose.

If the treeline resembles a fierce Minotaur... you're a woman.
If you see a naked woman with massive... Eyes... you're a straight man (or a lesbian).
This optical illusion is your secret weapon for unmasking gender pretenders and catfishers online.
What you see doesn't lie! Who's faking it?
