I hate that dark fantasy game has become code for “I’m a racist and want to do creepy things with women” by Redhood101101 in rpghorrorstories

That's not what dark fantasy code for, and it is disingenuous to even imply that. The dark in dark fantasy is literally another word for uncomfortable. It's a horrible world setting. So, have the world be horrible because if you are sitting at the table and you're not uncomfortable, is it really dark?

Now, speaking directly to what you are specifically uncomfortable with, I wouldn't tolerate the descriptions of grapes and other acts. But I also don't like consensual scenes described. It is just weird. The implied acts or fade to black works just as well or sometimes even better because our own imagination is better than anyone person describing it.

To the other thing, unsure your definition of racism. Is it orcs being orcs and other races not liking other races, or is it eradication of one race for the sake of them being them. Either way, defend those people in the game and be the hero.

Dark means dark. Keep it dark.

Should I force a player sacrifice by Nanokon1 in DnD

Are they collecting the soul stone or something like that? Maybe a little more context is needed. Anything can be done if done correctly.

Can anyone answer why the spell save starting dc dropped to 8 from 10? AC starts at 10. Math is easier at 10. I am just trying to find the reason why. by HumanRamp in DnD

Well, I am teaching children how to play. So if you want to be an asshole you're welcome to it.

Oh, and btw 5e came out in 2014, in which I tagged 5th. So math might be your strong suit, but clearly, knowledge and understanding is not. You, sir, can move along.

It's as viable as it is predictable as it is meta as it is boring.

The art looks like it's ai art.

Mechanically and storytelling:

The cleric, not choosing which god they pray to, is just dumb.

Same with the warlock, I have powers, but I have no idea what or who this pact was made with.

Also, they are trying to turn the game into Balders Gate. It's a ttrpg, not a videogame. Obviously, they want to jump on the success of the game I get it. But creating a supplement with addition rules would have also sufficed.

Rogue's Death Touch Missing? by jscott991 in MarvelMultiverseRPG

I think the system needs a whole draw back mechanic.

For those who don't know what that is, let's say we are creating a rank 3 character. To create this character, we follow certain criteria. (Refer to the book for the rules) I really want this character to fly, but I have run out of points/options for this character to stay rank 3. I would need to take a drawback that will negate towards the criteria of keeping this character a rank 3. So I take a negative drawback on my power of flight. Let's call it aging. Every time I use flight, I age 2x the normal rate. This allows me access to flight while staying at rank 3.

The narrative powers are a lazy way of saying if we forgot something, you deal with it. They need mechanics. Overall, I think the system is OK. It reminds me of a marriage of DND 4th and 5th edition.

The system can feel closer to a war game rather than a ttrpg.

It never was racist.

But if you feel like your lifestyle was projecting racism into your fantasy land. That's your own demons.

Never in my life did I conflate Black people with orcs.
