N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
pros: 28 years of experience, has played d&d and other tabletop games forever
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
worked on warhammer 40k
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
spent a loooong time creating his own setting and rule system to go with it because d&d is great and all but its really limitig
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
the system allows for complete customization with your class and its near impossible to duplicate it on another character because of the way rolls work
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
cons: wants us to be human because he doesnt like fantasy races
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
character sheet has so many gd fields on it and is like four pages long
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
he has the attitude of "i know best"
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
could just be hyping up utter shit
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
im cautious...not really all that excited with the prospect of having to play a human (he might let me play an elf or half-elf /fingers crossed)
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
everyone else is super excited about all the hype
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
were getting a full pitch on sunday so...well see
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
i feel like even if he did run 5e for us he wouldnt like my character
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
because, again, he has this attitude like he knows best
Zak
Ugh that doesn't sound great. Especially the humans only and I know best bs
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
yeah, well see how things go on sunday
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
he went on like a 20 min rant on about how critrole is cancer and matt mercer is terrible for causing it
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
also critrole is scripted
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
like i agreed with some of his points, like how because critrole is so popular and uses 5e that 5e is choking out other tabletop games and causing new comers to expect their game to be like critrole but everything else was very eh
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
like his reasoning for us playing humans is "to learn more about the world" from what? a human only perspective?
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
i dont like playing humans because 1. designing them is just not so fun, i like to design things that are "human" but a little off (weird eyes or pointed ears or fangs or claws) or more borderline monstrous (or straight up monstrous)
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
and 2. human is the default and everything else is the other and ive never really identified with the default
Zak
It's dungeons and dragons...it's yknow in a fantasy world...
Zak
Yeah I try to never go human because I AM one?
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
yup
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
well thats why he wants to do his homebrew stuff
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
because elves and dwarves and whatnot are rare and its mostly humans
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
he refused to even answer questions about 5e since he really wants us to play his sytems
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
system*
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
i do wonder if hes one of those "elves are all white and tall and thin" people
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
i havent asked because i dont want to open that can of worms rn
Zak
Fingers crossed it isn't so bad?
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
well he did say hes not politically correct with his world, that fantasy racism and whatnot is alive and kicking and there
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
which is fine
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
but if all elves are white tall and thin im gonna fight
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
DRUID.pdf
unfinished prototype for a druid sheet
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
look at this ridiculousness
Zak
Uhm wow
Zak
That's a little over the top
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
yeah
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
he basically laughed at me and hazel when we said this fucks with our adhd
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
oh and he really comes off as having "my precious setting syndrome" because he believes that the players should conform entirely to a setting and that its not the dms job to help integrate the players characters or change something to make things more fun for everyone involved
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
thats one of the the many things he hates about critrole, how matt makes the players feel like their characters are part of the world by using bits of their backstory and adding to his world
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
i feel like im the only one that isnt really excited about this dm
Zak
Holy shit, I...personally I'd nope out. Laughing because it fucks with people and the setting? :/
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
im going to give it a chance but if its clear im the only one nit having fun ill bow out so they can still play
N̢̺̝o̫̟͖L̼͍̞。
itll suck because ive missed playing with them all
