    D&D 5E (2024) Cthulhu Confirmed!

    Oh, I absolutely agree Sorry, didn’t realize you meant the question earnestly. So, this is entirely culture-dependent, because masculinity and femininity are social constructs. But, in most of the modern developed world, masculinity is treated as the default. This is why we often use gender...

    D&D 5E (2024) Cthulhu Confirmed!

    It’s all vibes, really, but some physical and behavioral traits can have a pretty significant impact on the vibes.

    D&D 5E (2014) Popular death/dying house rules in 2026?

    I also have a Daggerheart inspired death rule I’m using, though slightly more toned-down. When you drop to 0 hit points and aren’t killed outright, choose one: • Put Your Life in Fate’s Hands. Your character falls unconscious and becomes unstable. The DM rolls death saving throws for your...

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    Well, the words you used to express that disagreement didn’t convey your understanding very well, since they were about something other than what the people were critiquing the video for. My apologies for misunderstanding you.

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    The physical bite isn’t really what’s being judged, except in that he acts like he thinks it’s very large and it doesn’t, to my eyes, appear to be. What’s being judged is the sincerity of the gesture. In the attempt to seem like a “normal man,” he only manages to illustrate just how far removed...

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    Whatever you may think of the size of the burger or the bite he took out of it, he is certainly not a normal man.

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    Really. It’s bigger than McDonalds’ other burgers, but it’s comparable in size to like a Five Guys burger.

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    Just another example of the ultra wealthy having zero concept of how the working class thinks.

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    Oh, they don’t. The fact that they even thought that showing the CEO eating their food would make them seem relatable and therefore make people more likely to want to buy it, is just another layer in how deeply (and comically) out of touch it looked. Of course! But it deserved mocking from the...

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    Well, yeah. It was a bizarre choice to have him do it. The only reason to have someone in a position like that do such an ad would be to make the company look “relatable.” And they did exactly the opposite, which is hilarious.

    D&D 5E (2024) Cthulhu Confirmed!

    Well, not exactly. But I can understand why he might be less sexually appealing to folks who are not into men. Cthulhu has a pretty distinct masculine energy, and you kinda gotta be up for finding out what them tentacles do.

    The crying scene. So, so much snot.

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    Not sure if serious, but the Big Arch is a pretty normal-sized burger, at least by Ameriksland standards. Part of what was so absurd about the original video was him pretending to be intimidated by the size of this perfectly normal burger, saying “I don’t even know how to attack this” as he...

    That’s alright, as long as he isn’t still with his baby mama!

    Nah, that’s probably the most valid possible reason not to be interested in him lol

    Who, Cthulhu? I’d question your taste if you -don’t find him hot!

    WotC President of D&D consumes own "product"

    I kinda hate that this is a trend. It’s funny for consumers to dunk on corpos for obviously not actually liking the product they’re trying to sell. That is not an invitation for other corpos to pretend to dunk on each other. It’s so saturated in “hello fellow kids” energy it actually makes them...

    D&D 5E (2024) Cthulhu Confirmed!

    Blair Witch was kind of an unusual case, because it was one of the first really successful found footage horror movies, and one of the first movies to play with the ARG-style viral marketing campaign. As you say, horror is subjective, but a huge part of why Blair Witch had such a reputation for...

    I dunno, I think becoming powerful enough to kill a god and take their place is kinda part of the tradition of D&D.

    I don’t mind stats on Cthulhu. Azathoth shouldn’t have stats though.
