There's nothing more appealing to the ladies then regurgitating stale bromides. Try not to succumb to this dude's alphaness.

as though "who's playing the healer" wasn't a thing in previous and current editions of the game I dislike this drat game and its fanbase has only heated my dislike into outright enmity

Dude is already thinking about how this will be such a great meet cute to tell his plentiful, white children about. "Honey, remember when you were wrong on the internet about d&d?" Humans really are the worst choice, in and out of d&d.

I've never met a person who said 4e was WoW who had actually played it. I have the books and tried my best to get people interested and no takers. But from what I could tell it was smoother in pretty much every aspect. And yeah in the current 3.5 campaign I'm still in for some reason I joined after it had started and there was no healer. So I sighed and rolled a cleric.

His point was that even being a good and wise person didn't necessarily mean things would go smoothly. There was a lot of poo poo that Aragorn would've had to deal with. Tolkien sweeps it under the rug with "He was the rightful king, so of course everything went well," while Martin wanted to point out that that wasn't good enough. It's never been good enough. Even a good man can make decisions that end up poo poo, simply because they don't, can't, know what the consequences would be. Now, it can be argued that wasn't the point of Lord of the Rings, and that "happily ever after" can be a perfectly valid ending. But thinking about things that way can lead to some interesting stories.

The first book of the series is a solid read.

Garl_Grimm posted:But isn't "has Dragons" the barrier to entry for leadership in ASOIAF? That's is some steep wealth inequality. People complain about White Savior Dany without realizing that Dany is a) generally a huge fuckup, often because she tried to fix things without a full understanding of the context and b) descended from a line of maniacs who almost inevitably go mad with power. So yes, but I think in the long run it's either not going to go well for her, or it's not going to go well for anyone around her.

If only there was some example of WoW on paper. Also, I always love the presumption that having a tabletop version of a multibillion dollar videogame is somehow bad anyway. I'm sure some Hasbro exec would give a treasured limb to have D&D be even a tenth as successful as Warcraft has become, and Warcraft did that partly by drinking D&D's milkshake.

What is the earliest official mention of 'tank' as defense-oriented warrior, anyway? As far as D&D, the earliest I can specifically think of was in the Complete Paladin's handbook back in 2e.
