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

>>96525850Millennial D&D was largely the same as Gen X'er D&D, although more war-gamey and less role-play'ey.

By engaging them in polite debate at colleges of course
>>96525754You play the kinds of games you want to play with your friends. An alien concept to you, surely.
>>96525754You haven't played any games and it shows. I've been playing for over a decade at this point, multiple systems, at no point have I ever seen anything like the last image.
Try playing tabletop games and not just read posts from retarded nogames.
>>96525861kino
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.
>>96525973This is true. The first D&D character I ever made was a dwarf fighter. His hobbies included:>Gold>Swearing>Hitting monsters with his axeI have held all dwarves in fantasy worlds to this standard ever since.
Inauthentic. Boomer would be quoting Monty Python.
>>96526227100% thisand funhouse dungeons were way more common than dragons
>>96525754This doesn't sound realistic. This sounds like a no-games shill injecting their political opinion into something they know nothing about.
>>96526227No, that would be the gen x'er. Boomers would be rules-lawyers, and be extremely petty over trivial nonsense like grappling.
>>96526264Nta 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.

>>96526301>dm has his boyfriend at the tableunderstandable, id drop those faggots
>>96526272False, >>96526227 is absolutely on-point
>>96525754Is this actually how your games are?
>>96525754You can kill yourself, which will contribute to stopping the problem of shitty spam threads.
>>96525754>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 dragonSuch a myopic view of the world.

>>96528710It's post-OSR, but Birthright maybe?
>>96528883This is nonsense. Even Gary believed in being somewhat sporting.
>>96527026>OP of this thread >playing gameslol Good one
>>96528883Dragon 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

>>96528914That is completely orthogonal to my post.
>>96532423Not my problem anon, keep eating shit.
>>96532298you're obviously lying, hope this helps
>>96532374A natural consequence of the evolution of dungeons, obviously. The deepest part of the dungeon is where its organs are closest to Netherium streams.

>>96525827based nonbinary dwarf
>>96532374Dungeons 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>weak noncombatant bureaucrats in charge>implying monsters wouldn't believe that only the strong should ruleCome on, that should be like monsters' whole deal
>>96525754By punching zoomer in the face every time they start playing with "smart"phone during game.
>>96532874I 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.
>>96532374>he linearly sets up dungeon monstersLmfao what are you, a video game?
>>96532874Bro your ant queens?
>>96533193You're talking about a lair, not a dungeon, dungeons are much larger, open-ended environments not dominated by a single type of creature>>96533237Are guarded by the baddest mofos in the colony
>>96533387How about you find a bitch and lair?
>>96526227That’s much more of a gen X thing in my experience.

>>96526227The day I truly realized I was old was when I made a monty python joke and nobody around me got it. It wasn't even something obscure from Flying Circus or anything. Full on Killer Rabbit.
>>96535713
>>96532298You're clearly lying, retard. People who say "this zoomer Current Year leftie bullshit never happens," WANT MORE LEFTIE BULLSHIT TO HAPPEN. They try to gaslight people into thinking it's not rreal, so they don't see the changes happening right under their noses. You assholes are not smart, and you're not subtle.
>>96525754Start your own player groups explicitly banning this shit. Keep shit on the down low and shun normies like the plague. The most important thing is to hunker down and wait for the normie plague to pass so, and make sure you have something worth salvaging by the end.
>>96525754There's no we.
