Yeah
Yes I watch DvD
Wtfff
I play twice in high school but it’s too much for me to pick up tbh
Been playing for a bit. Wizards of the coast did something stupid about it. I'm not sure if anyone bothers with that news
This new discord update os weird
Is*
I guess
Nah I’m jus playing Valorant a lot lately
Wizards released a letter about how they're going to rewrite their books to be less offensive
Hiring sensitivity readers
Cause people are assuming the orcs are black, and the drow are based off of black people
They’re really rewriting the DnD handbooks?
lol
That’s ridiculous
it really is
My group is fucking bailing on discord
Strahd and Tomb of annihilation
Mattermost
democrats: create racism democrats now: we will end it if you vote for us
Both already got edits
Cause the vastani
What kind of changes are being made?
Uhm, I'll throw the letter here lots of stuff to throw in
Because I swear if they mess with the drow
I’mma be upset
We present orcs and drow in a new light in two of our most recent books, Eberron: Rising from the Last War and Explorer's Guide to Wildemount. In those books, orcs and drow are just as morally and culturally complex as other peoples. We will continue that approach in future books, portraying all the peoples of D&D in relatable ways and making it clear that they are as free as humans to decide who they are and what they do.
Now the game is dumb
Not really, been talking with other GMs and they're like "Fuck that I'll write them how I want."
I mean if you play as the book says
Which is almost all new GM's myself included
🤷♀️
I mean technically the rewrites shouldn’t change how I already play the game really
I never really based my idea of DnD races completely off the handbook anyway lol
I personally think of orcs as dumb creatures
> I mean technically the rewrites shouldn’t change how I already play the game really
@TakaEdakumi yeah
Pretty much, biggest thing most were excited for that I'm kinda off on is that they're either going to edit the rules of races it make it an alternate rule
So ability score improvement will be based off of class not races
Yeah I’d they go making changes to the rules for it that will be annoying
