Just give us the book. Why is “The Druid” a live event that I have to tune in for? I don’t need some fake-enthusiastic guy in a graphic tee trying to hype up the Wizard class. We know what that is, just get on with it. Is anyone who isn’t already on board with 6e going to be swayed by this stuff?

This all reeks of AAA gaming promotion. They are trying to get that E3 Hype for a ttrpg, and you can feel the season passes and microtransactions being tinkered with in Beyond.

For now there are the books and house rules. I don't regret canceling beyond one bit

i don't understand.

my PHB already has rogue, warlock, druid, wizard and ranger?!
even Paladin and Cleric are there!

It's 6th ed. But not calling it that. And all your 5e is now under-powered

I'd compare it to 5.5.

[–] TheYang@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

It's garbage that will be ignored at my table. 🤷

Wizards going the way of any thirsty company ever (for example nvidia, they are doing the same shit, staggering their launches for weeks)

This just plain sucks and makes me not want to watch any of those events. Why not launch it on one day? As if I'm going to make time EVERY SINGLE NIGHT OF THE WEEK

Gotta milk that sweet sweet social media engagement.
