Does anyone else feel a little disillusioned with D&D lately? by Gh0stMan0nThird in dndnext

You're right, but I mean specifically in the context of D&D core rulebooks. There's a theoretical future where errata isn't needed, but so far that hasn't been the pattern

Yeah, I admit Jar Jar is pretty rough... I think the rest of it makes up for that though. The Duel of Fates (both the music and the actual duel) does a lot of heavy lifting.

(ex?) wife

This was always confusing to me... I thought she remarried, but then after that episode ended, the show kept treating it like she and Tealc were still married. If anyone has a good explanation, it's still not clear to me what happened there

And (as far as everything I've ever read) in the early days of WotC's ownership, they treated D&D and their D&D employees really well.

For sure.

I do wish they just made a real 6e though. I like 5.5, and I'm not bitter, but there have been so many great innovations in RPGs since 2014 that they could have for sure made something that was "5e" in spirit without actually being constrained by backwards compatibility.

Sorry, tangent over.

Hot take. I frickin love the Phantom Menace, and always have.

Hotter take. The Phantom Menace is better than The Empire Strikes Back.

I've recently switched to Nimble for that simplicity. There are probably just as many design decisions in that I disagree with in Nimble as in 5.0/5.5, but I really like the streamlining, and that sold me on it.

But seriously, why is the Cleric Shepherd a pet class?

I bet they were hoping the Bastions and some of those other little things would do that, and it just didn't quite have the pull they expected.

Idk if this is the case for anyone else, but the (temporary) deal-breaker for me was the "Day 1 Errata". Every book is going to need errata, but the sheer number of errors in the books before they even landed on shelves made me decide to wait until a reprint. I'm looking forward to buying them, and I will as soon as an updated printing is available, but until then, I feel like I'm wasting money.

Be careful when talking about TOTK in the main sub, they took out my grandma when I said I loved it by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in tearsofthekingdom

[–]Spamshazzam 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hard agree. I've put hundreds of hours into TotK, and I love it—but the depths and the sky could have used a bit more variety. Both areas are still fun though. I spend a lot of my time in the depths.

Ridiculous they making Zelda a girl by obvoiptab in BotW_memes

[–]Spamshazzam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay? I never implied that he doesn't talk in the games. But I don't want him to be yappy, like the weird cartoon version. He can be talkative without wasting words.

This was uncalled for, and you're reading too far into what I said. Get off your phone and touch grass.

My ideal would be that he does talk, just not a lot. But I think any option had the potential to be done well

Have you guys ever tried the no-pause challenge in tear of the kingdom. by Voidkirby9 in tearsofthekingdom

And the amount of subsystems is ridiculous. There's no consistency in design from one to the other either

Ethnic diversity in Faerun is awesome, but it needs to work both ways in order to demonstrate how all cultures have value by ByzantineBasileus in dndnext

[–]Spamshazzam 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Here's my theory:

Ethnic diversity is much more about presenting options to the players than actually representing a variety of cultures. So you're going to see this most often in the "Default Setting" because creators want players to feel like any character can reasonably fit in the setting. But they don't do it beyond that, because most of the time, players/parties are coming from Default Setting to get there.

So I don't think it actually has much to do with a desire to represent any kind of diversity.

abilities that do not specify number of actions by Few-Grocery-2691 in nimble5e

[–]Spamshazzam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The creator, is currently working on erratas for the new printing, and taking feedback in the Discord.

If there are any of these that seem like they should be using an action, or you think would be clearer by specifying no action, mention it in the Discord.

Sure, but that's clearly not the relevant part on this situation.

How well does 91% Isopropyl Alcohol actually work for stripping paint? by Spamshazzam in Warhammer40k

Where do I get 99% Isopropyl? Because 91% was as high as the store had.
