Quote from: 1stLevelWizard on May 17, 2024, 10:44:20 AMI'd always assumed Greyhawk was too "problematic" for Wizards to begin with. I won't be surprised if the setting gets altered beyond recognition.

Out of curiosity, why? Greyhawk is probably the one I'm least familiar with out of the high-profile D&D settings, but it never seemed to be any edgier than Forgotten Realms.

Quote from: RNGm on May 17, 2024, 11:58:53 PMI suppose given recent ttrpg events (and just pop culture in general since 2016ish) I should ask which if any characters will they be race/gender/rainbow swapping...   

I do kinda hope Cat Lord becomes a cat lady...

That would be awesome-so long as she is crazy.

If Greyhawk is presented faithfully without any woke bullshit then I will listen to reviews and decide from there. Hopes are not high for such a product unless WOTC has secretly hired some staff that know what the hell they are doing.

Fair. It's what I get for using broad shorthand.

Technically, the sorcerer isn't doing the magic either. It's whatever spirit they're calling upon that is acting.

The point stands that the modern distinction between the Catholic priest ritually performing the Eucharistic blessing (miracle) and a Sorcerer calling on a spirit (magic) is which supernatural entity they're seeking the aid from.

=8|  Holy what?

For all that is good, never have this conversation with your devoted aunt.  You will give her a stroke.

Rumble, eh?  Isn't YouTube great about handling 1st amendment rights of the United States?

If you think a company should move from this category to that category, make the case.

Tried importing passions/traits into both D6 Fantasy and OSRIC; you can make it work but in my opinion it did not feel right, my player core is 1e and 2e types, half of which loved/hated 3e, the whole sample didn't like it (it being the importing of this particular pendragon mechanic). Some said it felt like being tracked or monitored too closely, they felt stifled by it, others simply that they'd rather track encumbrance. Unless the campaign is very knightly focused and you've got a murder hobo problem i think it hinders more than helps.

What exactly are you talking about here--LAMs, or...?

This made me laugh way harder then it should have.
