  • Good for them. Larian does not need D&D at this point. All the people who liked BG3 aren’t going to shun a new Larian game just because it doesn’t use a D&D setting. Quite the opposite, in fact. Them hyping up their own stuff can only help them keep people interested.

    Meanwhile, Wizards can’t generate hype o matter what they do, because they are scared into stasis from the knowledge that they are out of ideas. Heck, a lot of the changes Larian made to the ruleset are things that the people at WotC should have made many years ago. It is very telling that those same people can’t help mentioning the game when they are trying to hype up their new version of 5E. A version that is scared to change anything except tiny details via a focus tested surveys and looks basically identical to the game they delivered ten years ago.











  • D&D might be a soulless product of middling quality because it is so corporatized now that they refuse to take risks or even release an actually new edition for their big anniversary, but they changed a word so we need to celebrate them.

    All the while games like Fabula Ultima don’t even have the concept of race or species and you can define it via a quirk if you feel there is something important to distinguish your character. Lancer doesn’t even ask the question and just wants you to define what your character is good at. And yea the default setting of lancer only has humans, but it’s also a post-scarcity hyper future where people can change their genes and looks with great ease.

    But we didn’t read those games and in the TTRPG space, only talking about D&D gets clicks, so this had to be about D&D.
