Quote from: honeydipperdavid on July 10, 2024, 12:39:00 AMMy two cents, make sock puppet accounts on twitter and DnD Beyond and encourage WotC on their endeavors and push them farther and farther.  Make more monsters racists, make more classes racist, hell make Perkins racist and get him fired.  Burn Hasbro to the ground.  DnD will still be quite popular and the IP will be bought in bankruptcy court.

Sounds good!

This is D&D's future. Hopefully sooner than later.

Quote from: DUCATISLO on July 10, 2024, 01:48:15 PMStunning and brave trolling.

Naw son, its American setting not European.  But kudos on the troll.

cope harder please. also yes humans having all the fucking irl cultures even if not canon to the setting but non humans having 1 culture is pretty stupid and just breaks immersion but hey if that's what you like its fine having a smooth  brain ig

Despite what modern furries may want, D&D was designed as a humanocentric game, with humans being the dominant race and demihumans occupying their little niche corners with their less adaptablr cultures. Flash forward to what the game has been turned into where everyone wants to play furries and bizarre shit like sentient rocks. There was never anything stopping a DM from including different non-human cultures in the game world. D&D is a DIY type of game, not a hard coded video game. Make and play whatever your group thinks will be fun.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Old Geezer;724252At some point it seems like D&D is going to disappear up its own ass.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

yeah bro if I wanna human centric game id go outside. idk whats so special about humans being dominant race while their stats being shit with their lore. ah yes since it has to be a basic bitch race to appeal to boring minded Americans ig.

Which is as unimaginative statement as it gets.

I played Gamma World usually as the only human in the party. Why? Because its fun and humans get some perks the others do not. Same for Metamorphosis Alpha.

Even with D&D most of my PCs are human as its more fun to play off the non-humans. Though one of my more recent PCs was a Harengon Monk for some weirdness.

Both sides of this idiot argument are about as unimaginative as it gets. Play what the hell you want or what the setting allows. If Im runn ing the old Conan stuff for D&D then your options are human and thats it. If Im running some of the Polyhedron settings for d20 Modern your options are human and thats it. In others its open to anything. Same for 5e. Forgotten Realms is about as open as it gets.

I'm not impressed by whiny, jello-filled European brats that REEE about how much they hate Americans. You can just get fucked, yourself, buddy. And guess what? While you circle jerk yourself to hate-filled fantasies about America--

The deep truth is, your little fucking country is a vassal state of America. Behind closed doors, your little fucking country hops to, bitch! They know exactly what to do to keep their American masters pleased.

And you can REEE and stomp your feet all you want--but you know it is the truth.

You didn't come in here scoring well at all. Throwing around anti-American drivel left and right. How about you pull your head out of your ass, stop being so hate-filled and anti-American, stop being so rude and obnoxious, and apologize. Then start over, and introduce yourself properly. That would be far more productive, and interesting.

Or, keep REEEEING and acting like a rude jackass. That's your choice.

You are totally unimaginative.

Back on topic, such as it is.

The big question is... Will the Mexican Orcs really be in the PHB?

Or is it yet another, successful, attempts at outrage marketing?

We will know soon enough.

At any rate, I got a good laugh out of Mr. Welch immediately coopting the art to bring attention to Mystara. Gotta respect that guy's hustle.

Well, I'm sure the new core 3 books will eventually appear on the bookshelves, at some walmart locations.  At discounted prices, too.  My curiosity may cause me to at least pick them up, and take a peek.  But am I buying them?  Hell no.

I was going to note that WotC missed a chance for Mexican themed Tortles and Tabaxi as that was a theme with Red Steel. Which was part of Mystara.
