I did read the thread and it spoke to the issues of me defending Gygax and getting pilloried for it on these boards. I am glad it was covered and my observation stands. You may be dismissive of it but I am happy for the vindictatiin. As a general rule people don’t apologize three times to others...

For me, a laughing emoji is quite different from being triggered but YMMV 😃

That is totally true AND the rockiness of those relationships carried forward under different management. Do you see a pattern here? I do

Then what do you think he meant about reconnecting with older players again? Wa it the terrible dwarves baking art he was apologizing for? 😂

Actually many of the old D&D team felt that WOTC shafted them. Weis and Hickman sued them in court to get them to honor their book deal. Professor Dungeon Master said he felt insulted and made a video about it and the TSR apology also.

Yes, they did. The book by Ben Riggs was very much in the blame Gygax vein and a thread on this site tried to shift all blame to Gygax for the fall of TSR even though he was long gone after the collapse took place and Lorraine Williams was running the show.

I will definitely pick this up!

I like the fact that Dan apologized to Luke for WOTC’s treatment of Gary. I took some flack from forum posters for defending Gygax here a little while ago and so I feel vindicated! Woot! Woot!

No dude. The only people being hurt by your plan are actual artists. Larger corporations WANT to use AI as much as possible. The only thing holding them back is negative feedback from customers.

I disagree. You can move the goalposts but it’s a win for me based upon the original post.

I will definitely take it as a win.

Where are you adding all of these options from? If a plane is locked down then magic won’t work. If you are ruling that wish overrides a planar lock then that would require a check to ever cast wish again. Some choice you got there. 🙄

You are missing the point entirely. The deck creates conditions that you have no remedy for because you cut off planar access. That is the definition of a railroad.Taking away agency and forcing all actions down a single, predetermined path. The players cannot respond to their actions to remedy...

Because you have no way to change the outcome of the deck because you are plane locked. A game layer who draws the imprisonment card just lost their character for multiple sessions. People whine about being hit with a banishment spell and that’s a few minutes. The deck has cards that can...

The only aspect that could be considered railroading is the inclusion of the Deck of Many Things without providing a means to deal with the consequences of the deck draws. Sealing off planar travel is a plot hook not railroading.

My daddy used to say every man has a devil and you can’t rest till you find him. -Top Dollar from the Crow Tell me friend. Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight? -The Joker from Batman Nobody is wasting nobody. That my friends is a miracle and miracles is the way it aught...

I am find it ironic both Charlequin and Wiley 32 find amusement in my disdain for turning martials into mini casters. I don’t share their sense of humor. I feel that it’s a distinct lack of imagination by WOTC and lazy copy paste of limited spell slots because the design team lacks creativity...

Oh look, more martial classes stealing from casters. Stop the madness already WOTC.

Dude you are just flat out wrong. The Glabrezu is a CR 9 and he has a +7 Wis saves. With MR that’s an average of +12 on a roll against 16-19. The monsters have been buffed. Magic Resistance and Auto Saves give me zero incentive to waste 6th level or higher spell slots on control spells.
