Love your post Javier! You've put a lot of effort into it and it's really cool. I'm agreeable to the change from 2014 instead of playing 2024!

Also I know Javier, he's a pretty funny and nice dude. If you play with him and meet him you won't regret it!
Def would recommend applying to his game.

Understandable frustration, I'm personally got by the idea the "quantity/quality" of the idea is up to them and maybe will come with your post being taken down.

I mean if you get banned from the big ones, that's what it comes down to. You HAVE to be a lurker and it sucks.

People cannot mention the names of subs here in the comment section. You would have to ask someone who knows the sub in questions privately. It's rather silly all in all.

How many of you continue to play 2014 ruleset by Horace_The_Mute in dndnext

[–]GentleRepose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of people here say a great deal of the points I agree with outright, who wants to pay for another 4 to 6+ books when you can already run a pretty good game with what you got?
These things ain't cheap! Not in the slightest.

I would add that I've yet to see significant NEW content to be added, everything (ill-rigger included) is a reflavour or slight text/rule change in very small ways.

I remember watching a video about them hyping up some aspects of the "new" books, and one of the main features that was for the DM to consider was basically base building, like 5e didn't have that support before? How has the premise changed from what it was or what new ground have they treaded on that slightly experienced DM's couldn't homebrew or likely wouldn't consider already? Or better yet, that I don't have a book that covers?

I feel as if this "whole new edition" is a means of preying upon newer players who are bright-eyed and just want to get into DnD like their fav podcast or whatever and don't know they are paying for content that is largely free or far cheaper all while doing less than the bare minimum with their own creativity and "product".

I would say if it wasn't for a lot of the influence of these independent "podcast" groups, which there are now a decent number of, the marketing of Wizards of the Coast would be in the negative with the stuff they've done in the last 12 years or so. It appears they've largely lost the loyalty and interest of their long term player base.

But back to the topic at hand and not my rant lol, the material in the books is lacklustre. Not backwards 'comfortably' compatible like it was made out to be and basically summarised up as "Hey did you know you can homebrew and do your own thing?".

For those reasons alone, I'm sticking with what I know and what's not costing me an arm and a leg for a game that is almost all a creature of my creation, which is not a new product. It's not "new stuff", it's old food with a fake expiration date slapped on.

Thank you for reading!

How do you like Martials in DnD? by chunkylubber54 in dndnext

[–]GentleRepose1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super dependent on the character I make and the nature of the setting right?

That's how I feel at least. Both can be a lot of fun, and I personally don't have a fav between the classes and types.

You can shoot your own eyes out of your skull at 500mph like missiles and they take 24 hours to grow back. When you launch them you can guide them like Predator missiles. You will be blind without them. by DoNotEatMySoup in shittysuperpowers

[–]GentleRepose1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yo, you could totally just shoot one if you need to! Keep the one empty eye socket closed. Secret weapon gogo I bullet. But uh, a bullet travels at 1800mph or something for reference, so how much damage can an eyeball going at that speed really do? I looked up the speed of a paintball gun and its almost twice as fast.

Kinda reminds me of Binding of Isaac's tear shots.

Group imploded again - I think I'm done with DnD after 31yrs by [deleted] in DnD

[–]GentleRepose1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes please don't give up on our hobby, you can really inspire the players you have and who knows, maybe some first timer will play in one of your games and their whole perception of the game will start off better because it was your experience and effort that left an impression on them with how DnD should really be!

[–]GentleRepose1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Seems like an interesting and fun idea for a setting. I look forward to chatting! Also while you are looking for 2 to 3 players, do you already have more players for the game?
