@AWOIII yo do you need help paying

2020-09-16 21:00:56 UTC  

For the server since its still not up

2020-09-16 21:39:41 UTC  

Sigh I hate twitter. I need some advice on where to promote D&D content, but it feels like the dnd community is just super fucking woke. Everyones always going on about 'racial issues' and 'gender equality' in a stupid fictional game. Where can a moderate or conservative dnd creator even go these days?

2020-09-16 21:40:08 UTC  

I swear if I hear one more person go on about how "Drow are black people" I'll lose my fucking mind.

2020-09-16 21:47:01 UTC  

Have you tried Roll20?

2020-09-16 21:48:00 UTC  

Isn't that just for like tokens and maps?

2020-09-16 21:48:20 UTC  

@Elric actually its Orcs and shit that are the black people, thats why they needed to be changed from monsters to "a diverse people with a complex cultural background"

2020-09-16 21:49:05 UTC  

meh, people read way too much into it. DMs can decide whatever they want in their campaign, don't need wizards of the coast to be the morality police.

2020-09-16 21:49:27 UTC  

They also allow players to connect with others for a variety of tabletops online, or to find others for games.

2020-09-16 21:50:06 UTC  

I mean im familiar with it game wise.

2020-09-16 21:50:10 UTC  

its just really sad how dumb bullshit like this is being pushed so hard it ruins the fun and enjoyment of the game for a lot of people... I doubt that some of these "woke" people even truly enjoy some dumbass changes at times either.

2020-09-16 21:50:12 UTC  

Just haven't really checked out ti marketplace

2020-09-16 21:50:42 UTC  

I haven't had anything to do with DnD for a decade, back when 4th was the thing.

2020-09-16 21:50:54 UTC  

Yeah i've only been DMing for about 5 years, but i can't imagine anyone in DnD ever being actually racist toward Orcs. Its silly.

2020-09-16 21:51:20 UTC  

I've even written a campaign with no humans and the one human player was treated like a diease.

2020-09-16 21:51:24 UTC  

disease*

2020-09-16 21:51:33 UTC  

I've been DMing for about 25 years or so. I got so frustrated by other gaming systems that I actually created my own.

2020-09-16 21:52:09 UTC  

I find 5e simple enough to get new players involved, but I do miss some older mechanics from older editions.

2020-09-16 21:52:51 UTC  

I just hate how wizards bends the knee to players who likely don't buy their products or barely play the game

2020-09-16 21:53:11 UTC  

I'm about 120 miles from any offline source of gaming materials, so that keeps me out of the loop.

2020-09-16 21:53:38 UTC  

You said you made your own system, care to elaborate?

2020-09-16 21:53:56 UTC  

I can't in chat. Rule #3.

2020-09-16 21:54:08 UTC  

ah i just meant like words, not links.

2020-09-16 21:54:19 UTC  

Um...

2020-09-16 21:55:26 UTC  

It's a d20-only system that can be used to play any genre or combination of genres including fantasy, superheroes, sci-fi, or modern combat.

2020-09-16 21:56:18 UTC  

I planned on publishing it, but I couldn't get any r/t local playtesters for the included module.

2020-09-16 21:58:38 UTC  

maybe outsource it to your dnd groups?

2020-09-16 21:59:19 UTC  

I don't have anymore groups. My last gaming group all went REEEEEEEEEEE over the hill the night Trump was elected.

2020-09-16 21:59:50 UTC  

I'm going to give it away; I'd rather it be out there being enjoyed than rotting in a save file.

2020-09-16 22:01:21 UTC  

...And I can't really discuss more than that in this server, as per the mods.

2020-09-16 22:03:59 UTC  

no worries, just curious

2020-09-16 22:04:45 UTC  

S'okay. I discussed what I can and can't mention with the mods almost a month ago; I'm just abiding by their decision.

2020-09-16 22:05:04 UTC  

LOL Normally, you can't shut me up about gaming.

2020-09-16 22:07:47 UTC  

> It's a d20-only system that can be used to play any genre or combination of genres including fantasy, superheroes, sci-fi, or modern combat.
@DishonoredRonin Reminds me of a system, I think called "Roll to Move", that only uses a d6. The comical aspect is that doing literally *anything* requires rolling the d6.

2020-09-16 22:08:40 UTC  

Mine's not that bad. LOL

2020-09-16 22:08:40 UTC  

You might say, "I walk to the store." And the DM tells you to roll the d6, and you roll a 1, so you trip on your way to the store.

2020-09-16 22:09:45 UTC  

No nat 1's in mine. LOL Also no nat 20's.

rip

2020-09-16 22:10:38 UTC  

"Roll for Shoes" is another comically simple system. Everyone starts with the ability "Do anything 1", and if you get a particularly good dice role while doing something, you gain a new skill related to what you did.

2020-09-16 22:10:40 UTC  

I'm not joking about how much I can discuss in open chat. Word of Smokie, period.
