Same as always:
Shoot straight.
Converse ammo.
And that other thing.

We made the dragon join our party and mind broke him by ripping out all his teeth, his wings, an eye, a leg and making him live as a cat.

He also fucked goats. Thrallherd constantly belittled him and told him he is fucking worthless

have him fill out the proper paper work and get back to him in 1 to 2 weeks

it takes about 5 play throughs before you can really play the game properly.

Quite the barrier for most.

Two players. We're lucky if we hit a minimum of 4. 6+ players is the first thing we look for when picking new games.

Catgirls.
Gondolas.
Sentient shades of color purple.
Dinosaur people.
Sexy dinosaur people.
Animated twinkies with toxic yet delicious filling.
Robot people.
Sexy robot people.
Decidedly unsexy robot people.
Jews.

I personally think the rarer races are interesting for a character story. Take tieflings for example they're basically hated everywhere which creates interesting dynamics with other NPCs or even PCs

>>52378978
Jews. I love merchant races.

>>52377443
If they're treated as very generalized short description of character's general attitude used more for communication than any particular purely mechanical effect and people understand there can be considerable overlap (same action performed by characters of different alignment for different reasons or even similar reasons if they're all lawful, or good or something) - they're alright.

Like most such things it's exactly bad only when GMs and players are dumb and consider alignment as some rigid archetype a character has to follow (selfless goody two-shoes cause lawful good, never caring or only self-serving if true neutral, goes out of his way to cause suffering cause that's his nefarious mission if evil).

Yes and it basically boils down to what >>52377520 says

it also helps if you think of alignment as a spectrum where a character can be SOMEWHAT lawful or SOMEWHAT chaotic, for example, instead of 9 rigid boxes with thick walls between them, like most retarded people do.

>>52377443
The problem is settings where alignment is objective, and actually affects gameplay itself.

Basically, D&D

>>52376968
I never found those that good. Not bad, but nothing that special.

*Some of the

I'll wait for the playtest reports. The minis look nice, but I lost all faith in the mechanics once they revealed they were dicebased. Why the fuck would you include RNG in a game entirely based around decision making and risk vs reward? It's so fucking lazy it just makes me angry.

>>52367186

But anon without RNG games can just be solved, randomness inserts fun unpredictability.

>>52367233

Maybe so, but falling back on a dice based dungeon crawler is still an incredibly lazy way of designing a Dark Souls game.

It's ignoring the themes of the game, what about the mechanics really appeals to them and instead making the simplest, most basic interpretation of it they possibly can as a way of selling miniatures.

I'm not saying no RPG at all, but just making it dice based is... Eurgh. It's fucking frustrating.

Not sure, ebberon was my favorite as a teen. Wish they would come out with a new book for it, though I suppose I could just get the old book but that wouldn't be very fun and not optimized for 5e

>>52362434
In all likelihood they want to follow the route they took with Ravenloft. Develop a book for the setting in house, and once that's out open the setting to DM's Guild.

>>52362708
I agree with this guy. It just makes the most sense that way - it lets them assert they're still the holders of the IP and it means they don't need to feel much "official" competition from DMs working with those settings.

For what it's worth, there's a pretty strong suggestion that they might be updating Planescape in some fashion as their next non-adventure splatbook.

Speaking of Manses, what do we know about them in this edition? 2e had varied, wondrous powers that they could have, and they strictly speaking didn't need to be a building, but could instead be a single room in one or a statue or sculpture in a field.

>>52341016

We once constructed a manse which followed our army around and controlled all the soldiers with mind control so we didn't need to train them or anything and providing essence artillery support.
