Um sweetie, DnD was made by Americans, don't have shit to do with you larping euro pansies. I can't stand eurogays constantly trying to gatekeep shit their countries didn't even create
Last playthrough I played archer chaotic good with al ittle bit of neutral, but the gay ass gods stripped my powers in bg1 so I had to wait until bg2 to save my build.
Used to be chaotic good mage, then LG paladin, now mage again but an evil one. Saving the world isn't cool anymore when the world is sodom and gomorrah.
Why the frick would a human transforming into a monster stand there and roar? That's as a dumb as a UFC fighter just standing there and screaming just after the fight begins.
In Daggerfall it's Intelligence, Willpower and Endurance (i.e. they're stupid and lazy). Nice to see Todd kept it up until they got away with race based attributes
Redguard are the strongest fighters in Tamriel. Having the highest stamina of all the races of man. The only ones to successfully repel the dominion, and also amongst the most intelligent races. Nords being the dumbest, with the weakest civilization. Redguard are also Todd Howard's favorite race to play
lol if you go by "lore" that doesn't show up in any of the games that has moronic shit about kirkbride's mary sue in a standoff where the redguard magically has nuclear weapons and even if you like that absolute dogshit then the nords are still portrayed as the people who always actually save everyone and hate the right people that everyone ought to hate.
meanwhile the intellectual races are busy sucking up to elves that wholesale enslaved them and used to make lawn ornaments out of human flesh until the nords decided that elves really would look better genocided.
Nords are portrayed as dumb drunks, in every, single, game. This is the average Nord in Eso
https://streamable.com/uql73z
walking Chris Hemsworth Thor memes. So dumb, a couple of nords got themselves stuck in molags plane all because they couldn't stop drinking obvious poison lmao
D&D was always progressive garbage. Faerun fricking sucks. It's not like this movie is shitting on some good lore or forcing in diversity where it never existed. The setting has always been shit and there's always been mongrels in it. Chuds aren't even finding another dumbass hill to die on, they're building the hill first to try and die on it.
look at how colourless that trailer is compared to the cartoon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHnsMKQJBDA
see the difference? there's soul, there's passion, there's vitality to the form
Eldrictch blast is just too OP. Knockback + use anytime + chance to grant dark blessing temp HP. I however do hope they expand the warlock subclasses in the full game. It's lacking
DnD has always been shit regardless of the setting because of its nature. It's all about projecting yourself into the games despite whatever players bleet about "role"playing.
Hemsworth as le funny bard isn't any more good world building than le token black paladin. It's part and parcel DnD's problem.
I can't look at DnD stats without thinking about how Miyazaki did his stats in reference to them.
For instance, the Chosen Undead, Tarnished, Ashen One, etc. can get say, 30 in a stat. 18 STR would make you the strongest man in the world IRL, 18 FAI would make you the Pope. So it's neat to think about requiring 4 more FAI to throw lightning bolts or requiring a minimum of 32 STR to 2 hand some big fat demon axe.
I am unironically hyped, I kinda like adventure comedy about the power of friendship, would you guys rather another edgy grimdark got rip-off? I'm tired of that.
Elf thief. I'm stuck in one of those 2 years long railroad campaign where the DM doesn't kill the players no matter how dumb things get because I know and he knows the moment my character die I'll drop this shit.
Gnomes created halfogres by abducting young human women from nobility/royalty and forcing them to breed. they simultaneously get political power by taking control of the power vacuum and they produce strong loyal bodyguards. you can find one of their 'factories' on an island and gather all sorts of proof but there is no way to expose them, it turns out everyone you are working with is in on the plot and they remove all the evidence and laugh in your face
Industrialist israelites setting up rape camps where they kidnap women to be bred with halfwitted totally-not-black monsters in order to breed a physically strong race of slaves too dumb to go against them but intelligent enough to take simple orders, giving birth kills them if I recall right.
They did this to the royal family of Tarant whose city they took control over.
The quest ends with you losing the evidence and gnomes mocking you that you can't do anything about it.
>giving birth kills them if I recall right
sort of, a journal you find of a totally-not-mengele doctor says they can get three harvests out of them. yes, they use the word 'harvests'. also the reason why they specifically take women from nobility because the commoners are often less off in terms of health and proper nourishment and much less likely to survive the ordeal
i love the part where you go anywhere in the world and they're like "yea, the king died and the queen and prince happened to disappear the very same night so the industrial council is now running things" like it's not suspicious at all
Drizzt is a def no , others maybe....but keep in mind I think the main audience is going to be zoomers and they are probably not going to know those legacy characters
well yea obviously drizzt has dark skin. the real issue is probably licensing

no, Drow are Caucasoids with dark skin, the problem is that in the modern cultural context that is inherently problematic

which is funny because in many sources drow are portrayed as pale. kinda like the hellboy dark elves
make him blue or purple like modern artwork depictions of him
It's just with how woke media is the Drow are going to be Sub-Saharan African not matter what I just don't see a way around it and I hate it
They might , DnD dark elves are more obsidian skinned even leaning towards shades of purple skin. Anime elves like Pirotess in Lodoss war are not black but coffee skinned color.
When I lived in WI , I worked in this small town called Lake Geneva right across from the old TSR building kinda cool place would occasionally see grognards pointing to it and taking pictures in front of it
This is the building that replaced it , the old place got torn down and the corpo offices were right across from the utility company ( that oddly enough my father worked for)
Are people genuinely complaining about blacks in D&D? The setting has always been super diverse and it feels more natural than the shit we're seeing with the LotR tv show.
Nobody cares about them doing this to DnD because it's not shitting on well established rich lore like with Rings of Power
Based, then this thread will die. Since as you said, no one will cry about a black paladin.
:^)
what's your game exactly?
BG2
based
Yeah that's the b***h im getting. Going for the all black playthrough.
Nothing wrong with a black paladin if it's made with soul. This show will be trash no matter what race the actors are.
>dark skin
>must be a Black person
one of the more loathsome things about americans
>implying it's not
Sorry brownoid, no one includes a dark character unless they're black, not cool enough
>Nothing wrong with a black paladin if it's made with soul.

There was already a cheesy yet endearing dungeons and dragons movie with a black guy years ago. If they want to keep doing it, fine by me
I didn't think it was that endearing.
the trailer presented a dull miserable quippy reddit version of what European sword and sorcery fantasy is meant to be, so it's actually perfectly representative of both the current edition of dungeons and dragons and the majority of dungeons and dragons players today
This, anyone who has played anything related to dnd or pathfinder understand that this fits exactly with the tone of those games.

Jokes aside, i wish that the extra character portraits had at least a similar art style as the OG ones.
If we are going by Baldur's Gate rules, then sorcerer with 18 WIS. Wishes, horrid wiltings and chain contingencies all day everyday.
I see Black folk, therefore I will not watch it. Sieg Heil
What stat bonuses would black people receive?
take a half-orc as base and then change nothing

Back in the day, in The Elder Scrolls, Redguards had a -10 Intelligence, Willpower and Endurance in return for a +10 to Agility and Luck
A shame that stats were removed. I think Men/Women also had 1 stat different as well, based on the race.
In Daggerfall it's Intelligence, Willpower and Endurance (i.e. they're stupid and lazy). Nice to see Todd kept it up until they got away with race based attributes
>Personality -10

don't remind me please. they said baldur's gate 3 but we got divinity original sin 3 instead
I dont play anything past 2nd edition because I am not a moron
Honestly it looks alright. I might see it on discount night at my local theater unless initial reception is dogshit.
DnD has always been shit regardless of the setting because of its nature. It's all about projecting yourself into the games despite whatever players bleet about "role"playing.

Don't care. WotC ruined D&D ages ago.

Based, hold your group hostage for 2 more years please.
You misunderstood, I want to die but the master wont let me.
I dont care about blacks in DnD , Its just another quip fest meant to capitalize on a current trend.
Now make a movie about this Hollywood, and make sure to include the Gnome subplot. I dare you. I double dare you
They'd portray them and the ogres as the good guys just because they can.
I love the soundtrack. I forgot most of it, what was the gnome subplot about?
Arent they all like dirty thieves or something?
it's really fricked up
Gnomes created halfogres by abducting young human women from nobility/royalty and forcing them to breed. they simultaneously get political power by taking control of the power vacuum and they produce strong loyal bodyguards. you can find one of their 'factories' on an island and gather all sorts of proof but there is no way to expose them, it turns out everyone you are working with is in on the plot and they remove all the evidence and laugh in your face

>The quest ends with you losing the evidence and gnomes mocking you that you can't do anything about it.
You can't just kill them all?
You can kill people on your own outside of it but the actual quest reactivity ends with them mocking you.

sort of, a journal you find of a totally-not-mengele doctor says they can get three harvests out of them. yes, they use the word 'harvests'. also the reason why they specifically take women from nobility because the commoners are often less off in terms of health and proper nourishment and much less likely to survive the ordeal

Guys are we going to see Elminster?
nah that would be too risky everyone would shit on it for being red Gandalf (which he basically is)
He's probably too controversial in this political climate (plus he's cringe)
How do i melee class in NWN? I only ever played Sorcerer or Wizard.
Play a real man game
Monk in the last campaign , thinking druid in the one coming up
Could Hollywood possibly pull off a Planescape movie and who would you cast as the Nameless One?
Dude , love planescape so much , that and Darksun were awesome campaign settings
it's definitely out there as far as DnD settings go
seeing generic fantasy characters fight fricking eyeball robots would be really neat
I love the artwork and just the setting in general Tony DiTerlizzi is awesome. DnD art used to kick ass. Now its so dull and lifeless
i shit you not the 'updated my journal' sound bit has been my phone's notification sound for about 15 years now
never mind the shoehorned racial nonsense this just looks like digital shit with a very uninspired plot
post other D&D kino
no
Go for they eyes Boo, GO FOR THE EYES!
Cast him Cinemaphile
Hard mode: No The Rock
Unironically the Rock would be a good cast though
I choose easy mode (The Rock)
Pratt
the rock would be perfect. heck i wouldn't be surprised if he gets a cameo in this movie
I really hope they do show some famous D&D characters like Elminster, Drizzt or Minsc
it would make me basedjak really hard
Drizzt is a def no , others maybe....but keep in mind I think the main audience is going to be zoomers and they are probably not going to know those legacy characters
>Drizzt
you just fricking KNOW they would cast a Black to be Drizzt if they ever put him on the big screen
well yea obviously drizzt has dark skin. the real issue is probably licensing
how about just a miniature giant space hamster then?

Same reason they removed this masterpiece from streaming sites
Workaholics had some episodes removed from Amazon too.
this was an extremely accurate exaggeration of Black hood culture lol do they find their own culture offensive or what?
They dont like looking in the mirror even if its an exaggerated view
iirc the fry guy's va wrote that episode and he black
I guarantee it was white liberals who got offended on behalf of blacks and got it taken down
Well i own it on Deeveedee

I can't tell if you're being ironic.
im not, they literally removed the episode from streaming catalogues

They might , DnD dark elves are more obsidian skinned even leaning towards shades of purple skin. Anime elves like Pirotess in Lodoss war are not black but coffee skinned color.
Lodoss War was 30 years ago
and? Just trying to understand what you are saying
If they do a Drizzt movie it's either going to be a black man or 3DCG, no way they'll have someone in Blackface.
