'you wouldnt like villain blorbo if they were officially redeemed/romanced because the excitement is in the mystery and how canonically it wouldnt make sens-'

wrong.

ravenloft i10 (1e). DoD (2e). VRGtR (5e).

thank u

#curse of strahd spoilers #bg3 spoilers #i dont even understand what ppl mean by 'this char cant be redeemed'#like have you not listened to rudolph the red nosed reindeer #even all the other reindeer redeemed themselves and let him join in their reindeer games #ok that rudolph thing was a half meme but also like dont gatekeep and ignore chance of a positive shift for an evil character thats weird #esp cuz the inverted of negative things for a good character is somehow seen as valid/legit #if you have no idea what the context of these sourcebooks are dw about it #even if it 'didnt make sense' who cares tho. most companies literally TAKE popular fanons and PUBLISH them as canon in future editions anyw #u should be demanding unrealistic/not possible stuff from companies that are publishing out D&D content #cuz D&D content is made with YOU. dnd is a HOBBY. an ACTIVITY. not a PRODUCT that you need company validation from #literally fanon stuff esp in dnd is valid because of it. they just resell the ideas and traditions that dnd players did before it was canon #its the same reason why dnd 'home rules' slowly become 'official dnd published players handbook rules'#they didnt invent it. they just literally RECOGNIZE something that a majority has ALREADY been doing #anyways ramble done your campaigns/aus/npcs/redemption/corruption arcs are legit goodbye #random syrips theory
