Started following him earlier this year since I wanted to get into PF2e and boy was I disappointed when I saw that last thumbnail. By the way, when did he get upset about sexy female art?
Early D&D art was highly influenced by artists like Frazetta and Vallejo, well known for both their muscular (and totally no homo) beefcake musclemen and scantily clad wenches in unrealistic armor.
I'm sure they've been trying to figure out how to cancel the guys like Elmore and Caldwell for a while, but have settled for waiting them out and hoping to sweep their works under the rug when they get the chance.
And then there are the nearly forgotten like David A. Trampier who died in obscurity.
I would have kept it a wedding, but have the villain kill the two grooms, and then let the players chase him down for denying them free drinks and thirsty fag hags at the reception.
I have recently found playing a character with any convictions and or general disdain for opportunism can be quite bothersome to woke/woke adjacent people. A lot of people, especially ones with video game backgrounds tend to be extremely flexible with any morals the character they are playing might have. I realize that's quite broad, but hope that gives you some ideas.
At my table, I have slotted into the role of "single lawful character in a party of chaotic retards." I don't do it to annoy them (my group's hardly woke), I do it because I like the contrast of personalities and because I just want to be helpful. Great power and great responsibility, all that jazz.
I can kind of understand this. The concept of a Mr Johnson/anonymous contact with a one-time job is pretty genre-specific. The amount of conflict that can be generated is limited, and they aren't really common in modern stories. It's probably just his first time encountering something like it, especially if he's consumed a lot of TV/Movies where every character is important and recurring in some way. I haven't played D&D in a while, but the last adventure I did even felt like the main quest giver had an entire narrative arc. Not sure if it was an official one or a third party one though, I wasn't the DM.
Very true, it's not really woke specific. The number of such people in the hobby just sees that they are overrepresented. Thankfully, I've only really had two players like this. One is no longer apart of my friend group for other reasons and the other isn't really that bad, we just have to work around her bloodlust.
In general, this is what you should shoot for. But I don't really think tying yourself to long term goals are strictly necessary at least from the beginning. I've played a couple of characters with no real long term goals in mind for most of a campaign. Something comes up eventually most of the time later in the campaign that becomes a long term goal though. There are some players too that aren't really as interested in the story and just want to roll some dice with their friends. So some kind of long term goal for those players might not really be a priority.
Crafting and consumables are cool in concept, but for most games it's just another layer of bookkeeping that doesn't really add much outside of fairly plain bonuses.
True but the problem is that Hasbro couldn't be arsed to hire an artist to correct the obvious AI fuck ups. Such a big company can afford someone to improve AI art.
