The deities of Greyhawk just resonate for me. I do see the setting as a closer caricature of what I think of as an age of post Roman dominance with barbarians moving into feudalism. History majors feel free to take all the shots. I am after a feel and aesthetic whether reality based or my...

What amazes me is how it pleases a lot of people but depending on who you ask it’s either too old fashioned or has changed too much. My whole thesis is not that it is perfect but that it has not “abandoned” long term players by any stretch. Incidentally, I totally respect people leaving for...

Type this out again and repost it. Spot. On.

I like alignment in the old fashioned way. It’s just not popular anymore. I like evil and good as cosmic forces. Ah well…

I actually agree. If we are not axe grinding, there are a lot of stuff that is 3e and AD&D adjacent on 5e. But…very traditional players aren’t happy either. I think this is because they tried for broad appeal… It’s like a projective test. What is missing depends on what you are looking for.

I am glad times have changed. It was brutal in middle America where I was. I hid for some time my gaming. Ridiculous! It’s funny…my friends now all have spouses, families, good lives. We have engineers, healthcare professionals, a lawyer, professor among us. But at that time it was the kiss...

I really don’t think it reasonable for them to tailor the game to only long time players. Not even an expectation. However, they have thrown a bone here and there and it is good enough for me. I am reacting to mostly commentary here and elsewhere that suggests longer term players “don’t...

It’s ok. I was clear about not having the goods. Data could change my mind. Until then I can have a testable modifiable belief subject to change. Some folks who post like to say you don’t matter because there are not many people like you. I feel ok saying that the company does not ignore us...

I am not any kind of apologist for WOTC and associates. Since I saw this picture I have wanted to play a Paladin again. I love the glowing runes on the long sword. Actually I was thinking about a devotion paladin with a few levels of celestial warlock for flavor and maybe even ritual caster...

Yes I caught it on sale years back! That aside the paper ship looks very cool!

No. I was just trying to figure out how much money I ultimately funnel to WOTC… It’s a lot. I get suckered. Got the miniature ship and cases full of prepainted minis. When I was in high school I bought used books and we had a handful of metal minis. Importantly, it no less fun with chits...

Anyone know how much WOTC makes off of wizkids minis?

Epic! Haha My daughter made me play Bark at the Moon and howl with it so much so I was tired of it for years! She would be in her car seat and howl wit me :D

My daughter likes the Smiths and has Iron Maiden records on vinyl…and now plays D&D. (Pats self on back in a smug way)

I would want to know but took the hint and no one has to feel funny about telling me ;) I realized a big spelling error in a thread title of mine

I don’t know. They are putting a lot of stuff in that makes me feel like a potential Customer! I don’t agree with everything of course but I think they are trying to capture a wide array of gamers in truth

I think they are keeping a number of priorities. And I am ok not being the top one but throw me a bone. And they have been. I will be buying the new phb. More broadly though I think despite over 40s being relatively small in number, for upcoming revenue in terms he next several years it my...

My son just played a half elf following his goblin! I like some freaky races at times though am partial to dwarves and humans. My daughter has a bird and can do a great crow sound so the Kenku was a fun choice

It’s really cool to see! My kids are itching to play again too! Now granted it’s a goblin, a Kenku and a custom fruit person in their party but the teamwork and dice chucking is a great thing to see kids learn! They did some things to make me proud! To save a slower dwarf character (their...
