How do we stop it?
>>
>>96525754
By not playing D&D and not buying D&D products and not giving D&D credit for things it doesn't do.
>>
>>96525754
Find better players.
And avoid dnd it is a containment game nowadays.

Millennial D&D was largely the same as Gen X'er D&D, although more war-gamey and less role-play'ey.

simply stop reading Le Funny Storytime on Leddit and play real games with real people- this doesn't happen in real games at all. If it does, find a new table. Or, surprise, DM a game.

This is true. The first D&D character I ever made was a dwarf fighter. His hobbies included:
>Gold
>Swearing
>Hitting monsters with his axe
I have held all dwarves in fantasy worlds to this standard ever since.

Inauthentic. Boomer would be quoting Monty Python.

>>96526227
100% this
and funhouse dungeons were way more common than dragons
>>
>>96525754
This doesn't sound realistic. This sounds like a no-games shill injecting their political opinion into something they know nothing about.
>>
>>96526227
No, that would be the gen x'er. Boomers would be rules-lawyers, and be extremely petty over trivial nonsense like grappling.
>>
>>96526264
Nta and this is my experience but it's a huge toss up out there now. Generally pretty evident when garbage is going to crop up based on personality.

I straight up stopped playing with my two gay friends and their prog buddies but the moderate liberals, bernie bros, right wing, and conservative friends are all still great groups.

I think it's more a theater kid and attention whore thing than anything totally political. Theres just a lot of overlap.

Also, dont play dnd.

>he hasn't run a game in which one dragon tells the party that they have two months to stop another dragon from bringing about the end of the world, in the middle of which one of the PCs has a one-night stand with a third dragon

Dragon is incorporated into wilderness random encounter tables. It doesn't mean it *will* "appear" but it *can*. There's always avoidance rules to give PCs a chance to at least try to get away

A natural consequence of the evolution of dungeons, obviously. The deepest part of the dungeon is where its organs are closest to Netherium streams.

Dungeons are lairs of the most powerful inhabitant, everyone closer to the entrance is either a hired/enslaved goon (e.g. goblins, kobolds, trained guard animals), a scavenger, or an exotic pet/war beast. I wouldn't use linearly increasing dungeon levels anyway, except for having the number of monsters inversely scale based on their power, and having more important monsters (which could just be weak noncombatant bureaucrats) be deeper in the structure than their guards.
>>
>>96532781

Come on, that should be like monsters' whole deal

>>96525754

>>96532874
I agree when you're talking about monstrous monsters who don't have a society outside of the dungeon, but if the dungeon is closer to a stronghold or outpost it would make sense to have some leaders who don't specialize in combat. Important noncombatants don't have to be leaders, just someone who the inhabitants of the dungeon don't want on the front lines. Orcs are described in the AD&D monster manual as having women equal to 50% of the fighting male population, as well as children equal to 100% of the fighting male population.

You're talking about a lair, not a dungeon, dungeons are much larger, open-ended environments not dominated by a single type of creature
