I mean 3.5 and adv 2nd edition with thaco was dope, but now it turned into generalised bullshit with too much high fantasy and probably built for perverts into elf+orc bdsm fetish or kobold and dragon sexy time. I think we all agree dnd is overrated. The dark eye is a cooler atmosphere ;)

Bump

DM: So, toupz111, what do you want do?

toupz111: I wanna start a troll thread!

DM: Ok, roll for bait.

>toupz111 rolls a 1<

DM: Ouch. Your bait is extremely obvious and lame. You come off looking like a complete douche nozzle. Take... 2d10 rep damage.

So this is the rolling rpg players always talk about?

What it's becoming / has become.

Never have I so strongly agreed with a complete trash-fire opening post as this. Your posts aught to be studied as how NOT to start a rant-thread; you wouldn't know from it there are legitimate criticisms to be had.

DSA is a neonazi setting, don't play it.

Sorry guys i wont troll anymore plz forgive and forget this thread

Regarding the high fantasy... you know there is more than one campaign setting right? Ravenloft still exist. Its pretty damn dark.

I'm not sure what you are talking about regarding elf orc bdsm as there is nothing like that built into the game. I actually knew players from when I played 2nd edition and 3.5 that rolled succubi and incubi. It wasn't my cup of tea either but the beauty of D&D is you can play it how you want.

Regardless of anything else, 5e also has a ton of variation from DM to DM with how they choose to present the world to you and ultimately 5e puts the most power in the hands of the DM and the player to flesh out the world in a creative way. Whereas pathfinder, 3.5 and 2nd edition have regimented rules for creating any manner of character it largely is useless in terms of telling an interesting story. 5e boils it down to its core storytelling mechanics and then lets the DM fill in the gaps. While I miss being able to shape-shift into colossal beast and having an animal companion enlarged and fighting giants it can still be done with a little creativity and it doesn't render the game completely unfun for every other player in your group like it used to.

Seeing as that term gets tossed more than STDs at a rock concert and as a result means very little these days, I think it's prolly safe to say it's nothing of the sort. :)

Don't like high fantasy?
Play d20 Modern... or even d20 Call of Cthulhu.

Don't like elves or orcs or elf-orc hybrids, DM the game yourself and tell your players that these races are out. You can also say no bikini fetish armor and no kobolds.

What do you have against sexy dragons? I personally thing it would be hilarious to have a bunch of players enter a cave expecting to slay a dragon, only to find that the dragon in question just wanted to be complicated with how their scales have a beautiful sheen and evade all efforts to fight because they might chip a claw.

Trollish threads call for trollish comments :-)

So why do chinese guys have small dixs?

Fair enough

Oh well, even if the thread is a troll thread at least the OP post was worth a slight chuckle or two. Now what can we laugh at?
(I already laughed at both 2077[again] and my sad sad life, so I need something else to put a smile on my face)

Hmmm everyone is inexplicably 'low rated'...
