FMguru posted:Who will speak for the vanished quasi-elemental plane of Vacuum? Nobody. In space, no-one can hear you sperg. All in all I didn't think the Great Wheel arrangement of the planes was all that terrible, despite being built directly out of the always untenable 9 point alignment system. It might just be my fondness for the Planescape setting showing through, though.

When we can't have the Quasi-grognard Plane of Goon, whose King is a half-orc, half-vampire, half-dragon, giant outsider who likes pinacoladas and getting caught in the rain, then the Wizards of the Coast have won.

I cannot fathom the reasons why people sperg out about the default setting. There is no history there and the book have always stated that if you don't like something you are free to change it.

I don't like giving hasbro money for constantly making materials outdated, so I'm still stuck on 3rd ed. That being said, Dungeons and Dragons is a game that exists entirely in the minds of the players, thus the fewer times you have to make dice rolls or go to the source books for things, the better you're doing as a DM.

At that point, why bother with D&D rules in lieu of freeform roleplaying?  But seriously, there are two extremes of thought in roleplaying, and if my knowledge of tabletop RPGs is any indication, D&D players will lean towards the "let's obsess over rules and die rolls" end (or they're just ignorant of other systems). Before we take this into a really lovely "how should you play RPGs" argument, let's just agree that different people want different things out of a game and leave it at that.

And any character who actually does is really disturbing.

The Plane of Goon is a demi-plane at best. You only wish you warranted a quasi or para.

But you had to buy more books man! Instead of just giving everyone who ever bought D&D a free copy of the hardcovers, they mearly only produced a PDF of what changed between 3 and 3.5 and gave it out for free. Can't you see Wizard$ is all about the money? You're just a sheep with wool over your eyes. Now excuse me, I have to write fifteen paragraphs on RPG.net (I'm a fairly popular poster there) lamenting the fact that my favorite RPG company went out of business. Sure they only ever produced two books for their game in the last five years (Which I didn't buy but I totally gave them moral support on RPG.net!). But it's all Wizard$' fault for over saturating the market. TSR would never have done that!

Thank Ao we don't have to give Ha$bro any more cash.

What kind of scrub prays to Ao? Everyone knows you don't pray to Ao that's like the most basic thing ever. Better not let this guy near the d4s he might eat them because he is literally an infant.
