The orcs will make Rohan more diverse.

they really went full "black = scholar"

Hey hey people, ranger here.

So, been checking some of these videos out because of curiosity. And it seems there are only buffs, making every class OP with the excuse of making it easier for the player. I wonder if they have gone over the creatures too, otherwise, it will be easy as hell if you play by official rules.

They're definitely going with making it more cinematic. All the weapon mastery stuff is going to cause major problems for DMs, but hey it's cool. The Paladin definitely got the biggest nerf so far. Looks like Warlock will be the power gamer choice.

They've said that they will update the monster stat blocks, especially when it comes to surprise rules. Whether the difficulty would be good is anyone's guess.

Remember, prayer is ridiculous, but Photoshopping black women into famous photographs of NASA launches will make them more intelligent. It's science

Dreamworks lookin' ass wizard.

I hate all this artwork so much. Beyond all the woketardation the style is wretched.

Something fundamentally dull about about it despite frequent attempts to depict dynamsim.

Indistinct like 40k art post 3rd ed. Hard to perceive the hand of the individual artist.

Look at the Israeli oppressing that poor Palestinian! Fucking colonizers!

What ever happened to challenging the player. All of these changes that I have seen thus far makes it so that the player is more powerful. I want to be challenged.

I want to be challenged.

Did you miss the wheelchair thing? Lots of stuff for the physically challenged. And mentally challenged too, I bet - with DnD focusing on being incloosive, even literal retards will get to play.

If you play 5e you're already challenged.

Its what my playgroup wants to play. Once we are done with this campaign I am going to try and get them to play either Pathfinder 1e or 3.5, I am leaning 3.5, much more material to work with.

The rulebooks are stored in your D&D Beyond account with a proprietary viewer. That way WotC can update/nerf on the fly

Can't wait to wake up one morning to find out that race, class, and gender were removed for being counter-revolutionary. Maybe next we can remove height and weight: we're all equal, after all!

You'll need to have pre-ordered the good boy Early Access edition with all the DLC pdfs sprinkled on top before you can have your character's race and class taken away though.
Best part of the article is this, probably:

Ultimately, this smacks of a large company desperately trying so hard to treat tabletop gaming as a thing you can squeeze money out of like videogames—which tracks, because that's exactly what Hasbro CEO Chris Cocks said he wanted to do two years ago, aiming for "the type of recurrent spending you see in digital games". Well, here it is.

Chris Cocks, eh? He's a proper Cock that one...

fuck that shit. I never buy anything based on a promise. Sorry you have to deliver the goods when I deliver the money. I NEVER preorder/kickstart/ or Patrion. If you can't make money unless you get donations, then maybe you need a different line of work.

The great thing about Pathfinder and Paizo is that their content is perfect for the lazy DM. The presentation is excellent and very polished, providing everything you need without having to prepare anything. That's their true strength, more so than the rulesets; both 1e and 2e do the job well.

Pathfinder did start as a module series. There's some absolute stinkers of AP and modules by them though.

Thus the brave adventurers failed the quest:
