TTRPGs, Warhammer, MMORPGs, and geeky things. Views are my own. Conservative but not political. Just when I thought I was out, WoW (Forever) pulled me back in.

Sorry for the bellular jumpscare, but this is one of those moments where Blizzard is 1000% deserving of the maximum amount of criticism, and even harassment.
Do NOT fucking lie to your playerbase. Take that shit off the store.
Kul'tiran housing decor bundle in the store!
Ever wondered why i dgaf about having a professional relationship with Blizzard anymore?
When their words mean nothing, Interviews are a waste of time.

RP seems to be the only ruleset not working ("No realms Available"), the others (including RP-PVP) seem to work.

To the surprise of no one.
This is how Africa works.
My uncle did a mission trip to Africa to teach a village how to raise pigs for food.
They flew in with a bunch of pigs, built pens for them, Food and water troughs, and taught them how to breed them so they could always have meat. Two weeks of work and teaching.
They went back a year later to check on the village. They had thrown a giant party the night after my uncle left, slaughtered and ate all the pigs, sold the feeders and fencing, and were really pissed off that the mission didn't bring them more pigs.

Who's rolling Tauren now after the 60% Plainsrunning buff?
Blizzard just doubled the maximum movement speed bonus from 30% to 60% in WoW Forever.
That's a pretty massive change, especially for World PvP.
Imagine trying to chase down a Tauren running at 60% bonus speed lol.
But seriously, is this actually balanced? And does it make Tauren more appealing than other races?
Are you switching to Tauren, sticking with your original race, or expecting another nerf before launch?
Curious what everyone thinks!

Just get rid of combat racials in WoW Forever. keep the racial abilities to the identity of the race. Stuff like Treasure finding, picking herbs, cannibalism, underwater breathing, etc.
Take the dmg out of the racials, make people choose a race they love for its race not for it's dmg output. Keep the WCL aspects of racials out. All this does is create a Meta and a back and forth decision of whether to go Alliance or Horde.
This tuning shit is already falling into What Retail became on a constant week.

While it's silly that WotC removed Half-Elf and Half-Orc, an elegant fix that avoids porting their 5e versions is to let each character choose Human or Elf ancestry (Half-Elf), or Human or Orc ancestry (Half-Orc), based on which traits best represent their upbringing and culture

Today at the @Club_Tartarus restaurant, we have a special occasion.
@UltraTtrpger hosted a game night and asked to use the kitchen so he could prepare snacks. Seems like he had his mind set on a beautiful charcuterie board for his players to enjoy!
Now @Marakath, @Nobleshield, @OctaviusBone, and @raemilus have tasty and healthy food to enjoy while they game!
What games do you or your OCs enjoy? Tell us.

My view:
The DM is the game world.
If players are not happy then they are free to find another DM.
There can always be productive discussions but the DM is the architect, game engine and director.

One of the things I really hate about modern D&D (and many modern RPGs, for that matter) is moving away from "The GM is the final arbiter," and more toward "The player is allowed to use books they buy."
It seems we have largely moved away from "The DM creates a world, proposes a campaign, and the players make characters who fit that campaign," and instead moved to the player saying, "I have a character concept I want to play, and the campaign should accommodate it if possible."
There is a subtle, but very important, difference between the player asking the GM if Option A is allowed (because the default is that it's up to the GM), and the player assuming Option A is allowed (because that's the default) and the GM having to justify why Option A is NOT allowed.
When I can come up with a better "quest arc" for our mishmash 5e D&D game in 5 minutes than the DM who says he's been playing since 1974 but constantly stonewalls our progress, there is a problem.
Yikes.

The thing I don't understand is for a game apparently built to be super deadly and dangerous, the early levels offer almost no fun stuff. As a thief I have a really poor chance to hide in the shadows, listen to things, or climb. I never really get to use the backstab even though my DM is pretty liberal about me trying to litigate for using it lol. The fact "checking for traps" takes 10 minutes for a 10 foot space almost makes it completely worthless, even with the small chance I have to actually find anything if its there.
Perhaps the worst part of the experience was using the 3d6 in line stat rolls. I have one stat (charisma at 15) with an actual positive bonus. So not only do I not get to do much special, but even when I do attack I don't hit a lot.
