Why did 5.5e drop the ball so hard? Everyone I know who likes 5e is staying with 5.0e. And more than a few of them have moved to 3.5, OSR, or other games entirely.Is WOTC just stupid?
>>97217950>Circle castingIf you allow that in your game, you've proven yourself to be enough of a retard that your opinion can be easily discarded.
>>97217967>using an officially published 5.5E rule qualifies you as a retardsounds like the whole thing is just a shit system then
>>97217967The players have created teleportation circles between planes of existence and regularly create traps with glyphs. programming with magic mouth. it's a crew of bored engineers circle casting is just them holding hands in a new way. being scared of new rules just yells that the cartilage in your knees collapsed due to age or obesity
>>97217967>im afraid of new things Old people out please
-Half-elves are one of the most popular races, removing them seems like a major violation of D&D tradition. I don't know if half-orcs had the same problem, most people I know just played half-orcs like orcs anyway, but that might also apply. -5e players tend to have a lot of supplements, and it's unclear what is and isn't compliant with 2024 edition. I call this the "Wii U problem"; if you don't make it clear whether something is an upgrade or a sequel, you end up alienating people who want either of those. -It changed multi-target spellcasting, magic users were used to and many liked the base 5e multi-targeting rules and changing them would force them to get used to slower and more risky combat. -WOTC generally having a bad 2020's with their licensing controversies and overpricing of official game material. 2024 was just a bad year for WOTC to attempt something as big as 5.5e was going to be. -The combat was slower, 5e players tend to love roleplaying and storytelling so when you slow combat to a crawl, it can get to the point that their ritual degrades into rolling to attack things for two hours. Before this reply looks like typical /v/ whining about a thing I don't like, there is evidence that 2024 is failing. Of the 19 million characters made on D&D Beyond in the first half of 2025, only 3 million used 5.5e rules, 5e is still vastly more popular and preferred. If you're a 5e player, remember to save your files and books, they're going to be more useful in the coming years.
What "magical realm" and edgy stuff do you like including in your RPGs?For me is forceful genderbending spells that can't be undone.
>>97153880I am so terrified of my players pointing out magical realm that my NPCs generally point the exact opposite direction, meaning we have settings full of tittymonsters who treat other people with respect.
>>97217068So I want you to imagine my kobold leader--she's a stunningly sexy draconic little vixen. Something like pic related, even with a red dragon great-great-grandfather She flirts and teases mercilessly during combat, focusing on her illusion and enchantment powers (she's a mighty sorceress) as well as water and ice (her staff). She's also evil to the core, and wants to conquer the neighboring towns to enslave them.The party fights her, and after battling their way through minions and illusions and mind control and water control, overpower her. easily She starts pleading for mercy, but they're so mad they decide to have some fun at her expense.They stuff her magic staff down her throat and activate it. Her eyes bug out and she gurgles something about not knowing what they're doing. Water starts cascading down her throat, filling her up, They hold her over her own lava pit, like a marshmallow. Being distantly related to a red dragon, she's resistant to the fire damage--but not to getting warm in general.All that heat turns the water to steam, and her body starts to bloat unevenly, especially in her tits and ass which get bigger and bigger. She screams for mercy, barely intelligible through the staff stuffed down her throat, earning a good round of laughs. She locks eyes with the bard woman holding her, terror on her face before she explodes in a gory mess.
>>97217734I'm not into furrydom, but the tits and ass bloating was way hot, bravo. Tell me, how did your players respond to this? Don't they tease you about your magical realm made of exploding scalies? Mine do. Even if I'm very restrained, they still joke about my rogue's gallery being feminists and hiring way too many female mooks than normal villains should... I'm sure they would be pissed rather than amused if I started being more overt.
>>97217900>I'm not into furrydom, but the tits and ass bloating was way hot, bravo. I love it when sexy evil sluts are in way over their heads and get their comeuppance in style. I REALLY love it when said sexy evil sluts are scalies.>Tell me, how did your players respond to this?I mean, they were the ones who stuffed a staff down her throat and left it in her while she was screaming for mercy... they kinda walked right into that one.>Don't they tease you about your magical realm made of exploding scalies?Yes, but I fulfill their magical realms too, so it's all in good fun
I just mention slave girls and hot tavern dancers a lot.

Is there any sample fluff for lewd religion, deities, churchs and rituals? Need some ideas on how to RP a cleric/priest of lewd deity
>>97216817that depends why you want towatch hellraiser and really listen to what they saycenobite means priest.think about what parts of the religion you care aboutmaybe you break it down into: dogma, heirarchy, philosophy, loremaybe preists get power from their godmaybe preists keep so much lroe around they just know supernatural truths written by demons of ages past and future
>>97216817The Labyrinthus Adventure Compendium has the description for various religious orders, witch covens and cults. The cults also have specific ceremonies so there's that
ITT: secret knowledge your party would kill for, either to get it, protect it, destroy it, hide it, whatevermaybe just playing delta green would scratch that hitch but I'd like to avoid intergalactic reality warping monsters and keep things tech noir / cyberpunk related because the setting is eclipse phase with nechronica and cowboy bebop shoehorned in but anything goes reallybtw the twist for my players is that they don't know they're onboard a generation ship but I'm looking for ideas to get them on a shitload of false leads kthxbye xoxoxoxo merryxmas & hppy new yr btwfuck this new captcha so much wtf

>>97217431you get what you pay for, which isn't much
>>97217422It doesn't normally take much for player characters to kill people. The location of something shiny is usually enough.>false leadsThis is normally a bad idea. A game is not a story, and you shouldn't expect it to work like one.
>>97217422Without knowing more about your party or your world's history, generally anything that indulges or promises to enrich or empower the players is enough.The price for profit can always be reduced to money. Life insurance is proof enough that even the average person understands how much someone's life is worthIf you're talking about raw power, heck just attach a meta-mechanical benefit for getting a piece of treasure or book. You promise to give them a feat from the book? If it's the first time, you don't even have to tell them it's the worst feat in the book.

>>97217500>BannedDon't care>LimitedMaxx "C" getting limited is kind of crazy for the OCG. Metamorphosis getting unbanned will probably also be cool. The rest I don't care about.>Semi-LimitedAsh getting Semi'd isn't gonna be as big of a fucking deal as people make it out to be. But I do think that's what they should do being for fully generic handtraps when they start reaching prominence. The card's load-bearing so you don't want to ban it or see it at 1 copy, but you also get fatigued of seeing it at 3 copies.>You VILL stop playing old meta decks and just consume the latest product.What are you talking about you stupid son of a bitch? Most of those hits were to three of the current top meta decks, in addition to un-hits on old meta like Spright and Kashtira.
>>97217222It looks shorter because you didn't add like half of the text to this card. It's missing>OPT summon by this effect>Can't search itself>OPT on the last effect
>>97217500>>97217732You VILL buy the upcoming new meta archetype.
>>97217222As the other anon mentioned, you aren't including the majority of the text on the card which is what's making it smaller. You're reducing the card text to no good end, and making them more broken than they already are. And let's be fucking real here; Do you really think people are gonna want to look into our existing glossary with existing keywords just to figure out what EMBARK means? Even MtG uses the full phrase "enter the battlefield".If you want to adopt more keywords, you just need to adopt the stuff the OCG uses. They use "this card name" instead of its full written name, and have keywords for procedures like Zeus' summon (Overlay) to drastically reduce the caard text without reducing any of the understanding. They also put conditions and OPT limitations at the start of the card text since they use numbered bullet points to separate the effects.
>>97217732>current meta decks>maliss and ryzealAnd OCG never completely kills off meta decks to sell the latest booster, it just gives them consistency hits unless they're way too good (tearlaments), with red ransom's ban maliss is now effectively a 2-card combo deck unless you run all the cope cyberse cards that let you go full combo from OSS and snake-eye ash. Ryzeal meanwhile is completely fucking dead because every single starter is limited, xyzbros will have to move onto onomat now.

>>97217776There's manga, just hard to get your hands on it. The anime that started in the 80's is what everyone knows.

I just want my fucking players to assume their characters for once. 2 campaigns 8 players and they never fucking once think “what does my character want right now” only “how do I, a player, solve this encounter “. If my npcs or creatures only did things to win, the players would rightly be thrown out of immersion. If the owlbear suddenly has advanced combat tactics etc. why can’t players fucking understand that as a dm I am there to interact with their characters just like they are there to interact with the world and npcs? Stop ruining my fun. And no I don’t mean do funny voices, you can do everything 3rd person if you want.>have you tried talking to themYes it usually lasts 15min. I send a reminder that their characters have traits and goals etc. for the first 15 of the next session suddenly everyone has a Batman or Xena voice and uses a few olde words. Then after that time they go back to “clearing content” modeI just wanted to rant. I fucking hate players
