BREAK THE DRUID MOULD (Anonhistory)
  • Fun fact about druids - in their tradition pretty much every break from the norm, like writing things down or cutting herbs wrong, was punishable by being clubbed to death.

    Fun fact two: In France Druids were exterminated by Romans with help of Bards. Bards were basically a competting sect of the same faith with Druids and they sided with Romans to save their own skins and eliminate their rivals.

    I really hate whenever I try to explain how some bad rules can be abused and immediatelly get someone say shit like "If this happens in your group, change it" as if that would solve the problem. And whenever it is not soemthing you witnessed personally, then it means it never happens and could never happen.

    Hi, Daryl
  • One of my favorite things about this page is that it can be read as intended, let to right, or can be read right to left like a manga, and it still tells an internally coherent, but entierly opposite story.

  • He remembers all the realms

    Ed Greenwood's YT channel did more for me to appreciate Forgotten Realms as a setting than any book WotC put out, and he constantly revisits areas WotC has no interest in, like Sembia or Cormyr or Daelands.

    I guess I won't run this for my group

    No I cannot afford it, I had surprise financial emergency this month.

    But seriously, either make the whole thing free or paid, don't get my hopes up only to dash them like that.

    I'm Forever DM, not Forever GM

    Explanation: I'm the only person who runs D&D in my friends groups, so I get to play in other games under other Game Masters, but have a LOT of D&D character ideas I will never get to try.

    When you're high level, people notice you. Shock!
  • That, though, raises another question, because if the conspiracy theories are so easy to debunk that no rational person believes them, why worry about their existence?

    Most people aren't rational, that's why.

  • This was possibly the most self-roasting way to fix the class
  • 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.

  • I do not think any of you actually played 3.5 you praise so much

    3.5 was edition I played the most. It was a reason why I quit RPGs for nearly a decade because I hated it so much.

    Every time I see another meme about how amazing 3.5 Tarrasque is, I remmember how amogn actual 3.5 players Tarrasque was the biggest joke. It was always brought up as definite proof designers have no idea how to make good monster. It was laughably easy to beat. A wizard could casually solo it, the same abilities people now miss in 3.5 amounted to ribbons. It was a laughingstock, forums had 100+ pages discussions how to fix it and general consensus was it';s beyond saving. It was first proof in 3.5 if you cannot use magic you're only good to roll over and die.

    I honestly don't know if everyone claiming 3.5 Tarrasque is such a horrifying monster are trying to rewrite history or unintentionally proving what a broken, unplayable pile of garbage 3.5 was, if it's biggest punching bag is actually dangerous in a different, better designed game.

    Fight me on it

    Every time people lament changes to the lore that amount to "not every member of species X is irredeemably evil" and claim the game is removing villains from it, I think how villains of so-caleld evil species fall into two cathegories: a) bland and boring and b)have something else, unrelated to their species going on for them, that makes them interesting.

    Anyone else noticed this keeps happenning?

    I'm not complaining, more new games the better, and some of them are very interesting.

    Also, at least some of these youtubers turned devs have tried Pathfinder and that wasn't it, so spare the "why won't they just play Pathfinder?" comments

    Oh no, the BBEGs are fighting

    source: He-Man/Thundercats #3 from DC Comics, I tihnk it was published in 2018.

    "Moral" dilemma

    To be fair to Barbarian, the guy was a werewolf and Barbarian is racist against werewolves.

    And then WotC followed that example

    Despite Margareth Weiss and Tracy Hickman's statement that Krynn has no Lycathropes, Orcs or Drow, TSR would publish a werewolf adventure placed near Daggard Keep in First Edition supplement World of Krynn. I lowkey suspect the Krynnish part of Vecna: Eve of Ruin was a reference to that.

    It's weird this happenned twice

    Lessons Learned:

    1. Despite entire fandom constantly talking about the Chaos Gods and threat Chaos poses, most of the Imperial Guard aren't supposed to know anything about it, less alone the specific names.
    2. Despite their enemeis in Sabbath participating commonly in diablerie and fandom making big deal out of what an unforgivable crime it is, it is not something an average Vampire of Carmarilla knows about in any way.

    How long does combat in PF2e take?

    On my last session of d&d combat took too long and I had to apologize for it to my players. One player, who is a Pathfinder 2e player, said it's nothing compared to long fights he had in that system, where between party of high level casters, boss, minions and enemy spellcasters, he would be waiting a whole hour for his next turn. I certainly want to at least have one Pathfinder 2e campaign among options to present to this group after we finish current one, so how much is this a general problem and not his group's problem and are there some ways to avoid this long combat?

    5e has an advantage of not requiring doctorate in quantum physics to run

    I would usually be sad to see another original RPG go 5e compatible but Neuroshima was infamously poorly designed ruleset, possibly worse than Shadowrun. I probably won't be running it, but may steal statblocks for my 5e game if I need weird stuff again.
