#System: Dungeons & Dragons

Top four are discarded concepts and the bottom is the final design of my new dnd character, Gloria Wilde! It took forever to get her to look how I wanted but we finally got there lol.

And I mean characters that you've put time into, not ones for oneshots or campaigns that sputtered out. Ones that you've had for a few levels, or whatever system equivalent you have.

[prokopetz]

don't answer that last ask I sent you actually. a) because I've since realized you rightfully don't give a shit about wizards of the coast, and would be justified in deleting the info I wanted from your brain as soon as you learned it, b) because I realized you aren't Google, and c) because I Googled it and found out myself.

on a related note, did you know wizards copyrighted the term "d20 system??" wtf. that was the last place I expected to have problems. I thought it'd be, like, "armor class" or "difficulty class" or something else similarly oppressive and cruel to copyright that would force me to change my whole rules document, and mess with my player's ability to remember which mechanics have had their name changed.

Somehow copyrighting the term "d20 system" feels even wronger than that.

Wizards of the Coast is the outfit that popularised the idea of categorising game systems according to the shape of the dice you roll in the first place. There are a few prior examples of games with similar naming conventions, including West End Games' D6 System – which is where WotC probably got the idea – but the idea of "dX systems", where X is the shape of the dice you roll, as coherent categories of games is very much a post-d20 System phenomenon.

That is, it's not that WotC trademarked (note: not "copyrighted") an existing piece of in-use terminology when they trademarked the term "d20 System"; it's that the idea of lumping all game systems which make use of twenty-sided dice together under the category of "d20 systems" was popularised by WotC's trademark.

(Indeed, if one were feeling conspiratorial, one might observe that the idea that all systems which roll the same-shaped dice are basically interchangeable with one another is a notion whose popularisation has proven very convenient for WotC's post-3E marketing strategy!)

hey hey—any TMA fans or TTRPG nerds out there?

if you've ever sunk way too many hours into D&D, Vampire: the Masquerade, Call of Cthulhu, etc... you might wanna check out this The Magnus Archives-inspired RPG! it's spooky, collaborative, and runs on the Cypher System (don’t stress if that’s new to you—we got you).

right now we’ve got DMs actively looking for players, and the server owner is planning some intro one-shots for folks who just wanna dip their toes in. super low-pressure, very story-focused, lots of weird little horrors to uncover.

we’re building a chill lil discord community and would love to have you—whether you're ready to run a game or just wanna vibe as a player.

My warlock, Dandelion, found an old, crumpled poem the party paladin, Lafavel, wrote about him that had a bunch of things crossed out and the word "stupid" written (at himself) all over it, and so they had a little talk.
