DnD

[gimpdr]

is dungeons and DRAGONS, they got the dungeon part right but where are all the dragons? its literally in the name, but we only get like 3 encounters with a dragon and can only fight one dragon, where are the rest i want a DnD game filled with dragons.

You normally get to fight at least two, Ansur and the Red Dragon atop the Brain.

If you get the More Encounters mod, you will face an additional Skeletal Dragon in the SCL.

DnD campaigns don't have you fighting dragons often, let alone winning against them.

What's in a name?

The Pathfinding AI in Owlcat's Pathfinder based games - WotR was the only one I played - I never played the first one, Kingmaker, though I hear it has the same issues - is some of the worst I've ever seen, and even worse than BG3's, which is also bad.

I mean, seriously, I would tell my party of six to travel to some area on the opposite side of a dungeon map, and watch with bizarre amusement as each one of them would take a different route to get there, often wandering through monster encounters or traps. And because the party was split up, the one that wandered into a monster ... sigh.

Nobody said that there would be a lot of dragons lol. Meeting even one is rare luck - surviving the dragon is even more rare. Please don't attach your expectations made out of game system name which has no ties to the adventure at hand.

Mind you, that the universe is called Forgotten Realms - how many realms did you see in BG3? Personally, I could barely count even one. That's the point - names are just names

They could have called the game : "Lots of Dungeons & Occasionally Dragons" , but that would have been too long and not good marketing...

Well, if "Realms" are planes of existence, there's four, I think? The Prime Material, Avernus, Astral and Shadowfell. Unless I'm missing any.

lvl 12 characters shouldn't be messing around with dragons, maybe that is why they left them a bit out

[armyissue69]

you could make a party of dragonborn. mission complete.

DnD is pretty screwed up after its creator sold out to Wizard of the Coasts, which turned the whole thing into a political battleground and culture war from the USA.

That's the kind of revisionist history I expect from somebody with that username.

Gary Gygax founded TSR in 1974, but he left the company in 1986. At that point, they switched from Gary's Greyhawk as the game's default setting to Ed G's Forgotten Realms (FR) which they still use now. TSR was near broke in 1997 when it finally sold D & D to Hasbro's WOtC, who has owned it ever since.

WotC neither turned the game into a political background nor waged a culture war. The anti-woke cultists who make these bogus claims are the ones inserting culture war and politics into games that have nothing to do with it.

No it was always a political battleground from it's inception when the religious Evangelical right took exception to Pantheons, Fiends, Monsters etc. in the game and made it a culture war trying to ban DnD, because it was brainwashing children into Satanists during the 70s/80s.

The same way they did for Rock Music. The same way they did for Comics, Movies etc etc. then Video Games etc etc.

Same people offended/scared by "The World" so some Ministers/Preachers can control their flock more easily with scare tactics, and keep them from thinking for themselves (which is the great enemy and why DnD, freedom of thought and imagination is reviled in those circles lol). :p

Thats right seeker! You tell em! Thats why Orcs are mexican and not black anymore right? Who the ♥♥♥♥ thought they were black in the first place? Wokies like you. WOTC has made their political agenda very clear, and so have you.

[seeker1]

BTW, there are STILL come nutty RW fundavengelical pastors like Greg Locke who say D & D is a tool to bring kids to Satanism, and you still see this allegation in Jack Chick comics. Some of those same folks say Harry Potter is a tool to bring kids to the Devil, also.

They were never "black" (African-American, or I guess "Chultan" in FR). Also, one illustration of them in the 2024 PHB that people lost their ♥♥♥♥ over for some dumb reason does not mean every orc in the game is "Mexican".

Though I don't think they will say no if you offer them a chalupa!

Who the ♥♥♥♥ thought they were black in the first place? Wokies like you.

I do like to cook with a wok, good sir, so I prefer to be known as a wok-ist. As for me, I never thought orcs were supposed to represent any human race. That's just idiotic.

and so have you.

My agenda is people should shut the ♥♥♥♥ up about all this silly stuff that I don't care about. "Oh wow! An orc wearing a sombrero in a PHB illustration! Time to lose my ♥♥♥♥ and start complaining!"
