>>739224026Meh. Seems like a bad omen for AAA vidya in general if something with such normalfag appeal is getting canceled.
>>739224026I'm going out on a limb and say he wrote a story that directly conflicted with the source material or didn't attempt to sell a product. That's a very big no-no when you're dealing with either The Wizards or Hasbro.
This is official dungeons and dragons artwork.This will surely sell our product!
>>739224526this makes me physically ill
>>739224526women should not be allowed to do anything art related anywhere. they consistently create the most repulsive works imaginable in whatever medium they happen to pick.this includes men who pretend to be women.
>Dungeons & Dragons game canceled>Stig Asmussen is an American video game developer, best known for his work on the God of War series for Santa Monica Studio and the Star Wars Jedi series for Respawn Entertainment. I have winning fatigue.
Good, total western vidya dev death.
>>739224526Imagine going back in time like 20 years or more ago and telling them that this is what D&D would become.No one would believe you. Yet here we are.
>>739224735But female mangaka are okay.
>>739224842only if its hentai
>>739224842>anything art relatedi guess pretend can't read either
>>739224735Estrogen is the vindictive hormone and the ugliness of women’s art is to try and passively denigrate the value and power of others relative to the woman’s own sense of insecurity and self loathing
>>739224526no one ever went past 3rd edition
>>739224026What was that shit gonna be like? Any previews?
>>739224114>normalfag appeal>D&DI have bad news for you. D&D was only normalfag for the short period where 5e was plastered all over Twitch. That ended, and shortly after, WotC culled their own fanbase (again) by releasing a controversial overhaul that killed mainstream appeal. If you're wondering if the update was bad enough to do that, the answer is: it doesn't matter, because over 90% of their own fanbase learned how to play the game 3 years ago by watching Critical Role and will never read a rulebook in their lives.>>739224842Yes. Delicious in Dungeon was great and Alicesoft's best works were authored by women.
>>739224948Asmussen was the game director for those Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor games so probably something in a similar vein. This project seemingly never even really got off the ground so I doubt there was anything in the way of actual previews.
>>739224841definitely in the running for most raped IP. A few blue hairs that don't even engage with the product on a meaningful level just completely destroyed it
>>739225082>AlicesoftI love that Rance and Sill might as well could be a shoujo heroine and her love interest.
>>739224026lmao get rekt
D&D isn't good enough on its own to carry a title. Even people like Larian, using every crumb of nostalgia, barely made something worthwhile.
>>739224026I wouldn't have mind a decent DnD hack and Slasher but it would've probably been shit so no big loss.
>>739224026>Fuck over Baldur's Gate 3>Fuck over a new video game in your I.P.Hasbro are morons. But Wizards is just as retarded:>Secret Lair drops>Don't even give the artist that does the work multiple copies on demand>Because you want them>to order like the rest of the proles>OOPS SOLD OUT IN FIVE MINUTES, BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME CONTRACTOR SWEATY. :^)Clowns.
>>739224526Is current year's D&D even about dungeon crawling, wilderness adventures and monster encounters anymore? It feels like most of all official D&D art I keep seeing is only about diverse fantasy characters attending fantasy festivals or hanging out in fantasy coffee shops in faux-medieval urbanite settings.
>>739225316Well, yeah: DnD is meant to be creative. The only popular worlds (if that) within the "I.P." Hasbro's "creations" (which aren't even theirs) is:-Forgotten Realms (Ed Greenwood for TSR which Hasbro/Wizards bought)-Planescape/"Sigil" which hasn't had a splat book since 3/3.5E 20-25 years ago.-Dragonlance (which hasn't been a thing since Forgotten Realms became more popular and pushed it out the way)That's about it.Wizards tried shit like D20 "Modern" in 3/3.5E era but those don't take off like those three do.
Divinity is gonna sell millions
>>739224842>But female mangaka are okay.Gooks think it's okay to trash copies once you are done, they don't care about preservation. Manga is meant to be disposed. Manga is not art.
>>739224526totally normal, not a cult, and we are the evil ones when we want children out of thise pornographic mess.
>>739224026D&D is antithetical to AAA as is it requires a level of mechanical complexity that seems to be anathema to big-wig studios. I'm surprised they even attempted it, though I guess the success of BG3 drew an appetite.
>>739224526>a beholder taking part of the faggot celebrationeven the most insane beholder would not be able to resist the urge to kill everyone present
>>739226420It's funny because spectators are a thing which would be conceivably believable, but I don't think the people that made this image know enough about the source material to have even thought about it.
>>739226195I just like how they made hags, dryads and other creatures trans, made the orcs mexicans and other woke shit. Totally no rainbow mafia agenda.0:23https://youtu.be/BWk8PjJODyI?si=Uy76Vlwc4VUt3uDe&t=34Not surprised the game was cancelled. They saw all the flops, grifting taxpayer still wouldn't cover losses and they'd have to declare it making it all too obvious.
>>739224453My bet is on hasbro or wizards being completely fucking retarded. >>739224948No interviews.>>739226420>>739226501eyestalk count. My initial read of this is that the entire scenario is a beholder using his dream powers to warp reality and that those mugs are full of halucenogens..
>>739226594Technically incubus/succubus thing is folklore accurate, since the original European folklore take on them is that they are the same demon that changes forms depending on if it is collecting semen from a man or dispensing it into a woman.
>>739224526Brown poop dickUses a rainbow
>>739225807You're talking about the kind of manga that comes on cheap newspaper print for a handful of yen, not the high quality volume releases. I think you intentionally forget to mention that, you lying rat.
>>739224842If you're a female mangaka and nobody reads your shit, your manga gets axed.There's been a small number of women (people overstate the prevalence of female mangaka for virtue points) in writing positions for decades. The moment that people started having a problem with it was when companies that used to produce popular male-oriented works started getting longhoused and protecting bad female creatives while getting rid of the kinds of people who made western entertainment so powerful. Over 90% of the women working in entertainment right now need to go. Same with the fags. We're learning that most of them were being tard wrangled by people who understand normal men and actually have triple digit IQs.
>>739224526And this is why everyone plays Pathfinder instead.
Wasted billions on live service games development.Refuses to spend a cent on bg3, either in sequel or expansion form.AAA exec are retarded.
>>739225193I dunno I'd argue mtg is probably worse off, dnd you have the option to just ignore all the faggotry if your friends aren't lame but mtg you're forced to endure that shit
>>739228556They can't settle for a 100% chance of making a lot of money if there is a 1% possibility of making all of the money instead.
>>739228461Pathfinder is literally even worse than D&DThey actively went out of their way to publicly apologize for ever having had cops be presented in a positive light and promised to never again use cops as anything but villainsthey erased the entire concept of slavery from their entire setting because it was racist, so not even the devils enslave people anymore, and it was erased because all the evil male rulers who were the root cause of slavery were replaced with superior female rulers who immediately abolished it with no problems of any kind because all it took was female common sense males lackedThey also went out of their way to say that the male god of traditional living, hunting and small village life is actually the worst of the worst that ever existed but the female god of rape and monsters is actually the protector of the unwanted and much better than himand I'm not even fucking kidding WotC is woke because it makes them money, Paizo is woke because they're genuine true believers
>>739224526Nu-D&D is genuinely so revolting.
>>739224842they're really good, yeah
>>739224526When will the endless gay butt sex stop?
>>739225807Gooks don't make manga.
>>739228774A good example of that is how WotC will speak out all the woke litanies about how old D&D is morally wrong and always was morally wrong until they fixed its ethics in new materials, but they still happily accept people's money for the problematic old editions and old modules and keep them accessible.
>>739224526>then the schizo /pol/tards were right about everything.Well fuck.
They could have made a DnD souslike or TES like. They're fucking retarded
>>739224526why are these fags not killing the beholderlike holy fuck there's a monster right fucking thereKILL IT
>m-manga is not-Now this is an artisanal masterpiece handiwork that pays tribute to d&d and is real art. This is what I call d&d. What is copyright "has" d&d even doing? D&D was practically stolen from them and belongs to manga.
>>739228909When people realize that the high tax rate is what's funding it and that the conservative movement is controlled opposition who's job is to contain the right and ultimately play the Washington Generals to the left's Globe Trotters.
>>739229009Hasbro has probably fallen into the trap of modern game development where the execs can only envision either cheap and safe mobile game slop or super risky AAA megaproductions with 100+ million budgets and nothing in between. It is the same reason we hardly get any Star Wars games these days.
>>739224526Critical Role was a fucking mistake
>>739228978they also still let us have crazy BDSM fetish Drow and happily sell things of them meanwhile Paizo removed all dark elves from their entire setting and replaced them with lame lizard people that are evil but not too evil because an evil race having dark skin is in their own words problematicWotC at least gives us classic wizards with big bushy beards, Paizo flat out stated that the only skilled wizards are africans and african magic is superior to everyone else's
>tfw no DnD Dragons DogmaFeels bad man.
>>739229201To be fair, I'm pretty sure Paizo removing dark elves was at least partially a precaution to sever likeness to D&D materials in case WotC tries to push more shit like their license debacle some years back.But other than that, they absolutely are doing purposeful lame & gayification.
>>739224453That sounds more like Warhammer.
>>739229009>Hasbro are retardedWhat else is new?
>>739229128Hasbro frankly got ridiculously lucky they somehow managed to snag Larian for their big D&D game, one of the few modern devs out there that actually can do a big budget RPG justice rather than wasting all budget on a "cinematic experience"And then they proceeded to burn every possible bridge with them by fucking them over as much as possible and demanding they try and jew the players It's almost baffling how stupid that entire thing was, had they just been normal BG3 could have had like 3 different big DLC's by now each a guaranteed money printing machine
>>739225082>Delicious in Dungeon
>>739224453Nah, more likely Hasbro now deciding to axe gaming and focus on shows and movies. After they had axed shows and movies to focus on gaming...
>>739229464My unironic bet is that the success Universes Beyond content for Magic the Gathering has now convinced the key shareholders that they need to steer D&D into a platform for crossoverslop too, and of course they do this pivot when the Magic playerbase is getting increasingly fatigued to Universes Beyond.
>>739229556Very likely.
>>739224526Same vibes. Knowing how pozzed Hasbro and especially WotC is there's no surprises here.
>>739226372I imagine BG3's success is why this got canceled. At least one person at Hasbro had a lucid moment and realized that spending millions making third person movie slop with the DnD license after BG3 would make you look like a fucking retard. Intentionally or not, this move unironically strengthens the IP.
>>739225497I've tried to read some of the new Dragonlance books. That shit is pozzed as fuck. Modern WotC thoroughly destroyed that setting.I'm glad they pretent Dark Sun, Greyhawk, and Mystara don't exist.
>>739225461>It feels like most of all official D&D art I keep seeing is only about diverse fantasy characters attending fantasy festivals or hanging out in fantasy coffee shops in faux-medieval urbanite settings.That's because it's a favored target of shitposters to share out that's made for things outside of the game, or is often not even official artwork at all (e.g. the Combat Wheelchair images that were shared everywhere a while back). That image specifically was only made for a Pride 2024 DnD-themed Magic: The Gathering playmat, not to actually represent the game. Actual DnD art is still stuff like this (p.42 of the Dungeon Master's Guide)
>>739228982Thats worst part about all that retarded bullshit culture war trash. Polfag/rightoid parody about black bald lesbians in wheelchair with xir xers pronouns became real and unironic lmao.
>>739224026It's actually amusing that Habro/WotC are such assholes to work with, even Larian doesn't want to work with them anymore.That's some unique talent that even Games Workshop can't top.
>>739224114That's more indicative of Hasbro going down the shitter at unprecedented speeds. Idk if this is a response to WoTC's unionization efforts.
>>739225461>>739229685Page 70
>>739225461>>739229685Watch out, he's gonna get ya
>>739229045He's a gayholder who chanhes everyone's alignments to lawful/neutral/chaotic gay
>>739229685Do elves still change their gender once per day or was this shit scrapped after Jeremy Crawford got the boot?
>>739229715To be fair, they explicitly went and did things that specifically pissed off Larian in particular, and many other devs would be fine withThey kinda thought Larian was similar to them and the CEO wouldn't care that much about hem firing some low level expendable employeesTurns out Larian's CEO is one of the few left in the entire games industry who's loyal towards his employees and took a very fucking big offense towards casually firing people for profit
>>739224026I don't give a fuck, I thought I was depressed because I didn't want to play vidya anymore looking at all the garbage that is being released, especially in the West. Then I started emulating super nes games and I've been playing that and asking for more.Turns out I wasn't depressed, current day games were just fucking shit.
I wonder how much did Hasbro even fund the BG3 development.
>>739229247>tfw no DnD Dragons DogmaWould play.
>>739229045who else is gonna bring the piss jugs?
>>739224114AAA is dying
>>739229784AFAIK, the book that that was in was relegated to legacy content, and even in that book it was something that they said was up to the DM's discretion whether it was actually something a character could make, because it was more of a miracle granted by one of their faggier gods.But I also know they've gotten a lot loose now that shit's in the Beyond era, so you'd have to look into it for yourself
>>739228740Local CEO invests billions into lottery tickets and dies poor.Local homeless man finds a single ticket and dies a rich man.Statistics do not favor the greedy.
>>739230001I remember when this first started to make rounds on /tg/. I think the conclusion was it was better if the entire party just started using them even though they could walk. I might be mis-remembering but it can hover, it had faster movement speeds, gave boost to AC, can't be destroyed unless you got like 3 Nat 20's in a row. >Adventuring party of Clerics and Paladins>All get wheelchairs to use>Parties name: The Holy Rollers
>>739230109It's still crazy as hell that they highlighted such broken fukken homebrew. They clearly knew better since it never got anywhere close to being official, but they nevertheless put a spotlight on it.
>>739224026Don't care. Finished the Pool of Radiance and Dragonlance games and still have the Savage Frontier games left.Gotta say, although Secret of the Silver Blades and Pools of Darkness got really wonky do to them being hybrid 1E and 2E high level adventures, the Goldbox games are still some of the best ways to play D&D on a PC.
>>739230223*Using the Goldbox Companion that is,
>>739230089>AFAIK, the book that that was in was relegated to legacy contentGood, because MToF was such a fucking retarded lorebook, holy shit.
>>739224735The problem is not women. It's birth control pills. Women are indoctrinated to take them regularly to "control their hormones". Another problem is psychiatric medication, such as antidepressants.
>>739224526>even the beholder is a faggotWoke is a peculiar blend of gay and HR sanitized corpo shit. Couldn't make it less appealing if they tried.
>>739225412Given how successful BG3 was and that the majority of the hard work in setting up the development tools and engine had already been done in making BG3, Hasbro/WotC are super fucking retarded for not keeping Larian on board to make more. Or working out a licensing agreement so further work could be shopped to other studios using all the assets and tools from BG3. Like they had the perfect setup to smash out another Icewind Dale using the BG3 framework.
>>739224453>directly conflicted with the source materialD&D is so loose with its settings that I doubt that they change things about Forgotten Realms, Eberron, and Greyhawk, all the time.
>>739229676I imagine that Larian not wanting to make it DLC focused microtransaction hell conflicted with the current kick that Hasbro/WotC was on in trying to lock everything down and pump subscription services. Since as far as they are concerned profits aren't profits unless they are the unlimited morbillion dollars forever ongoing style profit models.
>>739228982You should have listened
I have a feeling WotC is going to have a hard time finding a dev team as autistically dedicated as Larian. I don't even like Larian all that much, but I appreciate their work ethic.WotC was dumb as fuck to burn all the bridges with them so quickly.
>>739224526>Highly Anticipated D&D AAAslop was canceledthe amazon lotr mmo was finally put out its misery too. it's amazing how much money these companies just throw away day after day.
>>739230918wotc is heading to bankruptcy maybe the saudis will buy them or some one else
>>739226420Given the Beholder is serving drinks that is likely supposed to be the one good aligned Beholder in the setting. It is a character from like 2nd Edition from memory, it accidently gained all the knowledge in the universe and stopped being evil and instead opened a tavern. It is still stupid given the contextual knowledge needed about the IP to know why that Beholder isn't killing everyone. Even stupider is that they had already been using a cutesy Beholder as a mascot for the thing for a while, entirely missing the point of why a Beholder was used as the IP mascot prior.
>>739229115Aye. The purpose of the left is to ruin everything. The purpose of conservativism is to slow this down to digestible levels. The process needs both as the left without conservativism would go from 0 to 100 too fast and cause actual backlash.
>>739224453didn't they make a nigger aragorn?
>>739230982WOTC is the only profitable part of Hasbro right now
>>739224753we must be better men ? we must be unemployed men.
>>739231067That was in MtG but it's the same company
>>739230918Whatever gripes about BG3 there are it was an incredibly polished game given the sheer amount of content and variables involved. And they didn't shirk on doing work to add stuff that was only a single miss able encounter.
>>739231119they what's that about conflicting source material or selling a product? because that fiasco accomplished neither
>>739231016Good thing Deekin is dead in the setting, so they can't bring him back. They would probably make im some pansexual trans dragon or whatever.
>>739226195>pornographicBut needing every female character to be a blow up doll with her tits hanging out is totally not about sex and how dare anyone suggest it
>>739228982anon, there ARE no "schizo poltards" - it's literally just normal people with pattern recognition, literally NOTHING schizo about them, you fell for the unironic globalist psyop
>>739225461Current year D&D is whatever the fuck your table makes it, as it always was. Not that anyone in those threads would know since no one here actually plays this TABLE TOP GAME at a fucking table, it's just vidya secondaries whining about things they see on xitter.
>>739226420Why is it that when you see a detail that suggests that you might not be supposed to take the picture 100% seriously you instead assume it's a mistake and then complain about how serious it isI think that's a symptom of autism
>>739231143the tolkein estate let WoTC make Aragorn black. If you look at the art for the FF or Avatar UB sets no one is race or gender swapped as the license holders didn't want those changes
>>739224526Lol black elves again, veilguard looking homo jeets... might have been funny to watch journos fellate this slop, definite GOTY potential here
>>739231249Overactive pattern recognition is literally schizophrenic
>>739231149At this point I'm honestly not even sure what they could do to make the setting worse. They kind of already blew their load with all the diversity and inclusion shit. Anything they do now is basically just rehashing this performative crap done earlier. Plus they shit the bed so hard and turned so many people away with their various corporate shenanigans in the last half decade that there isn't really any recovery possible.
>>739231258Can't imagine a negro or a jeet playing this or any sort of zoomer, you need to be able to imagine things when playing tabletop games
>>739231301it's not overactive though, it's just common senseliterally guys just saying 'jews did it' - that's not overactive, that's the most obvious thingyou can shit on globalists, rich people, island pedos, nepotistic parasites on any platform openly and people will nod alongbut the moment you say which tribe they belong to, then mention kalergi and point at europe, and they will call you insaneand it's the most obvious, glaring thing, too
>>739231301NTA but it wasn't overactive.
>>739231409>I'm not insane, they really are using 5G to project numbers straight into my frontal lobe, it's just common sense!
>>739224526I love how the corpse of Western civilization is just being wrapped in the homosexual flag of rainbow leftism while it slowly rots away. No cries, just whimpers now.

>>739231136My only gripes with BG3 was the writing (including the very cunty companions) and the fact that it is very much a blatant reskin of DivOS 2. The game itself is fine. It even feels almosr like Baldur's Gate at times.
>>739231270>let WotCIt's far more likely they asked for it. WotC had the opportunity with other UB sets to slip in a lot of darkies into background characters or factions that otherwise wouldn't have them but otherwise wouldn't be an issue to alter things, and they still didn't slip that many in. I'd say it also says a lot that, even though Across the Spider-Verse had Hobie taking his mask off every chance he could to show off being black and having ridiculous big hair, the only card of Spider-Punk that even remote shows that he's black is one of two Extended Arts, in which his mask is lifted just barely enough to be chewing gum. On the other end of things, the Tolkien Estate has been obsessed with updating the franchise to be "modern" now that Chris is dead, basically getting the wheels moving before he even left his duties at the estate. They're the ones pushing for "comfy" games with black Hobbits, and it can never be understated how much involvement they had with Rings of Power. That was the whole reason they went with Amazon: they were given creative rights.
>>739231748JRR really couldn't have asked for a better manager of his literary estate than Christopher. Shame that it all fell apart so fast and so hard after he passed away.
>>739231249Keep telling yourself that
>>739231541I understand, I just disagree you twatBut you're pretending not to understand thatTrump's not Jewish btw, that's the whole point here, we can literally see who the rich pedos are and for some reason you have to make it out to be like there's another hidden layer to it that absolves the worst of them
>>739228461PF is the same
>>739231270Tolkien estate is fucking weird with the licencing. Playing cards and movies are a fine, but god forbid if someone wants to make a comic.
>>739231915Ok shlomo. Go apply your foreskin restoration cream while you pretend to be white. Your orange dyed shlomo is all yours
>>739231982Tolkien Estate also gives tabletop games (both TTRPGs and board games) in general crazy amount of creative liberty.
>>739231915lil james is called epstein's island, not trump's islandand I literally didn't even mention about trump, weird of you to bring him up out of nowhere - maybe he is a pedo, maybe nothe's a golem, a based one, but still a golem, he works in their interests

>>739224026>Dice slop cancelledNobody cares. Go make real games with real thought put into its mechanics.
>>739230670apparently WotC/Hasbro tried to be sneaky bitches and make an agreement with Larian that involved them handing over the rights to the development tools an engine to WotC/HasbroWhich course when Larian realized that (probably after all but 5 seconds, 4 of which spent on the thoughts "are these motherfuckers for real") soured relationships on a very deep and personal level AKA, WotC/Hasbro tried to be EA
>>739231063The purpose of conservatism is to keep the right focused on the symptoms of blank slate liberalism instead of the disease itself, to prevent them from organizing, and to keep them trapped in a box where they're pressured by their peers to not do anything that could actually lead to substantial and permanent victories.Any kind of collective action is communistic in nature.Talk around the fact that problems follow low IQ (which is mostly genetic) populations, gay people, and female leaders wherever they go.When the left attacks one of your peers, throw him under the bus to prove that you're more virtuous than the left.Don't hire and promote your friends while disenfranchising your enemies.Don't look back in anger (the emotion of change). Be sad (the emotion of helplessness) instead.The Bible just says "turn the other cheek" again and again for over a thousand pages, right? It definitely doesn't have anything to say about foreign invaders, female leaders, and hostile cultures.Even when conservatism appears to have a massive cultural mandate, it can't actually do anything, because it's built from the ground up to lose.

We own all of it it now!), until some law school intern pointed out the obvious that the law doesn't work retroactively.And then there was this thing with sending Pinkertons to some fans' house.Why is WotC so cartoonishly dumb?
>>739232416the only reason GW aren't still the kings of tabletop bullshittery is because WotC somehow went into overdrive the past few years but they're still firmly and confidently in second place
>>739232492You mean the draconic OGL rules that had as only major effect a literal 5000% increase in sales of their direct competitor (Paizo) and catapulted their conveniently released new product to unprecedented levels? Because that genuinely has to be studied in business school in levels of complete and utter idiocy with such obvious and direct consequences.

It's all about the rich pedos in the files but when it comes to the richest, pedoest of all it's suddenly "well idk maybe, maybe not, we don't know for sure, why are you talking about that"You are not a serious person.

>>739233046if you're serious, I didn't read into it on purpose to 'increase' anything, it emerged naturally, I never even posted on /pol/ - well, a couple posts, overall there's too many actual bots there falseflagging - the actual autists are pretty based, but overall a boring place to postanyway, if you're actually asking, I 'increased' it by reading old mythology and history, not even WW1-2, but much older, be it indus valley, indo-europeans, mesopotamians, canaanites, greeks, rome, feudal japan, russia, mesoamerica, not clutching to every single date and whatnot because history is written by whoever is left standing to write it, but that is precisely what gives you that recognition - you develop a bullshit/propaganda sensorlike the 'smallpox blankets' and 'manifest destiny' where the host nation of indigenous americans just conveniently happens to die after settlers come, while they make baby ball pouches out of 'savages' (Sand Creek 1864)or the way rurik with his bros takes over slavs and it's recorded as them voluntarily asking a foreign warlord to rule them - sure, man, everyone gathered to beg a foreigner to rule them, just like people begged genghis khan to conquer themor seeing the moloch-to-jew connection and knowing about valley of hinnom, gehenna in jerusalem, gehenna's literally a tophet - canaanite child sacrifice sitebasically, it's just seeing a pattern - every time a new leader/regime comes along, they seek to erase the previous regime, rewrite history every time most leaders change the regime to fit their own needs, but keep the infrastructure intact - except for globalists and commies, which seek to subvert, destroy - commies destroying poland, slaughtering kazakhs (literally 2 million people died), ukrainian golodomor, etcbasically, a parasitic desert people with a past of sacrificing children specced into tribalism and became bankers and got consistently kicked out of every country/state/civilization they tried to subvert is the tldr
>>739233327ok schizoyou're literally sounding unhinged nowlike I didn't say anything about trump - you're fixated on himwhen I answered you, I said he was a golem - he literally protects israel better than them, so I don't know what you're malding aboutoverall, it's pretty strange of you to react like this to objective facts, you don't seem very bright
>>739231982I think that just because Tolkein himself didn't like comics as a medium.

>>739234495>I was just talking about the Epstein files in a DnD thread on a Carpathian embroidery forum, I don't know where this Trump stuff came from really, just drop it already allright? You're fixated.Bro I thought we'd moved on and over half an hour later you feel the need to reiterate how much I shouldn't be talking about Trump lmao, like, I mentioned him *once* and since then you can't stop replying to tell me how absolutely schizo it is to even bring it up when YOU had been ranting about rich pedophiles in the Epstein files
>>739225461I dunno, when did curse of strahd come out? it's set in gayvenloft, but it's alright
>>739232515nah GW makes the most popular Wargames but when it comes to TTRPG, Boardgames(excluding Talisman) and Card Games that have failed on multiple occasions, mostly due to just getting bored with them and licensing out the IP to another company like Fantasy Flight Games or Pegasus Spiele.GW letting WoTC make those 40k Commander decks was the final nail in the coffin for GW ever going into the Card Game market
>>739234513Tolkien was such a curmudgeonly old fuddy-duddy, really, bless the man but it's not like his every little pet peeve is divine law
>>739233046it's also not about reading specifically about subversion or politicsit's more about the fun stuff like did you know that romans had communal butt-sponges on a stick that they wiped their asses with? they also had a steam engine, but I think it was closer to egypt or somethingor that apparently, at least according to spaniards, native obsidian swords, which were basically wooden bats with obsidian blades on them, could eviscerate a horse mid-gallop - which is probably true because obsidian is sometimes used in surgery because it separates shit at a near-molecular levelor speaking of moloch - the bronze bull was likely inspired by it, possibly made with a collaboration with canaanite engineersspeaking of canaanites and phoenicians, there's more normalfag shit, like you probably know of Hannibal - he was the most based man imaginable, wrecked rome by literally bringing elephants through the mountains, losing a huge chunk of his armyor how ancient indo-europeans LITERALLY created a self-sustaining psychic mind prison, a literal demiurgy that still functions in India - the caste systemor speaking of indians - the Juggernaut - origin of the word juggenaut, jagannah or something - they had these huge mobile temples on wheels that roamed accross india - and natives either happened to be trampled by them by accident, or lined up to die under themor you probably know this one, like hakarl - icelanders LITERALLY bury a shark to rot under a rock for weeks because it's poisonous to eat without that - yes, they eat that shitalso there's kiviak - greenland - they LITERALLY stuff a fucking walrus with dead birds, let it rot, then they suck the rotten bird guts from the bird's assholeso like once you absorb shit like this, you kinda learn about different cultures and develop good pattern recognition after the cultural foundation you built

>>739229731Hasbro is considered one of the worst companies to collaborate with in the tech industry. Larian basically said the reason there won't be bg3 dlc is because hasbro was so fucking bad.

>>739230670Larian has specifically stated they don’t want to give out their engine to others because “we don’t want to be a support studio”. I could see disagreement over that being one the main contributors to the break up.
>>739235872No you don't. You already can run whatever you want. You just don't want anyone else anywhere to be able to do what you don't want.
>>739224026>>739224526Hasbro has really destroyed D&D
>>739234932Not really. Guy makes the best pancakes. A new pancake is coined after the guy. He hates pancake Wednesday but I like pancake Wednesday. I'll eat it on Wednesday. It's simple.Millions of comics are in fact about D&D and that's indirectly a lot like Tolkien. It doesn't stop at Order of the Stick.You can't make a lotr comic directly due to copyright and that's fine but there will be D&D comics.

>>739237353>couldn't do BG3 DLCLarian refused to work on BG3 DLC after Hasbro fired the people Larian was working with during the development of BG3. Sven might be a weird guy, but it seems he took that very personally.
>>739237623Larian games are ass
>>739235872I just don't understand the point of orcs if you're not gonna make them evil monsters. You already fucking have half-orcs for the less monstrous "they can be good people, too!" playable orc race, why the fuck would you water down the full-blooded orcs that way.
>>739237623I love the man but you also have to realize that BG3 was a cynical project for him. He never even played the original BGs that much, he was an Ultima addict. BG3’s purpose was to take an established IP and use it to turn Larian into a household name. The started development on the BG3 DLC before realizing nobody actually wanted to work on it and they had enough capital to safely do their own thing. Combine that with Hasbro being retarded and it was an easy decision.You can clearly tell what their problems with BG3 were, in pretty much every interview they describe their new game as having “systems built for a videogame”
>>739224526I have to just come out and say it: I don't care for this one bit.
>>739237772Big strong hairy warrior archetype. Classic look. I actually quite like Warcraft orcs, even if it leans too far into noble savage tropes at times.
>>739237776The funniest part about it is that the DnD 5e designers now seem to balance the game more around a fake version of the rules with BG3 than the actual fucking game itself. 5.5e supposedly "fixed" produce flame by... letting it do the exact same thing except it burns up your bonus action. Just because there was an annoying UI element in its BG3 version.
>>739237892Like I said, D&D already had half-orcs for that.
>>739233465>Oh you don't like watching two men fuck? What if they were turned into two hot women instead? What now homo?
>>739237950Sure
>>739237772Tolkien wrote that in the war against Sauron, "only the Elves stood undivided". People have interpreted this to mean that some orcs turned against Sauron. Tolkien himself was uncomfortable with the idea of irredeemable evil from a Catholic perspective. Especially if the origin of orcs was tortured elves who didn't choose to be that way (which he could never really settle on).
>>739234928>babies first conspiraciesGive me some good shit, all this stuff is either easily found on Wikipedia or was on the news.

>>739224026Hasbro is the most spectacularly incompetent entertainment company on the planet, if they didn't own a while ton of solid gold IPs built up by people a thousand times more talented than the people currently in charge they would have gone bust long ago. Remember that one time the pastel horse show suddenly dropped a giant fanbase of the kind of rabid nerds who are famously loose with their money right into their lap and Hasbro straight up ignored them for years and years because they weren't the target demographic? They probably left many millions of dollars just lying on the table back then.
