A website that doesn’t just use lazy titles like " (new game) is the mix of (game that sold well this year) and (game that sold well 5 years ago) you’ve always wanted"
I am using Lemmy.ca without loading any different themes, and it looks like the ugly gold does not highlight new comments anymore. Did the admin team change something?
The only remaining ugly-gold comments I have seen are ones that have the admin shield on them.
Edit: Never mind, this comment now shows as ugly-gold for me, as did another that I saw that was 8 minutes old.
I am not here to shit on D&D. If you’re having fun, then it’s the right game for you and your table.
D&D is a rules medium game that is based around combat, but isn’t great at combat being balanced at combat where every PC is basically immortal. The game itself doesn’t really set a tone, which makes different people have different expectations of what the game “should” be.
Because of it not-quite-being-great at anything, people tend to want to push limits, or add homebrew.
Edit: A rules lite system with a set tone will also prevent this level of silly, if that’s not what you want
If you’re not a fan of this type of behaviour, I recommend playing a TTRPG that isn’t D&D.
D&D has gotten a bit of an “LULLZRANDOM!!11!!” reputation, possibly because of the content creators needing something whacky to get views, or just because of how mainstream it is. If you need to stand out in a crowd of thousands being extreme, novel, or whacky has the lowest effort for the highest reward.
If everyone at the table finds the game fun, then you are playing correctly. I find this behaviour exhausting and would tell the players that it needs to stop unless someone else wants to GM.
The most annoying part, in my opinion, is when the game isn’t actually like the games it mentions.
“You need to survive and also build a base” does not make a game the same thing as Valheim.
“There are dragons” does not make a game Skyrim.
“Contains an elf” doesn’t make a game BG3.
