THE ENTIRE FUCKING GAME IS ABOUT USING YOUR IMAGINATION, WHO THE FUCK IS GONNA PAY $300 FOR THE SOLE RIGHTS TO USE GANDOP, THE WHISTLING JUGGLER WHEN I CAN LITERALLY JUST DO THE SAME THING WITH A FUCKING PENCIL AND PAPER?
The idea of D&D (and most all pen and paper tabletop rpgs) is the sharing freely of ideas. NFTs (which are uniquely stupid and don’t even do what they are “designed” to do) just intrude on that very fundamental premise. I fuckin’ hate nerds so much dude
Let’s be fair here, a overwhelming supermajority of dnd players think this shit is stupid as hell.
Uhh aksually the idea of D&D is convincing four other people to sit in a circle and let you torment them psychologically for your own sick amusement for five hours every sunday. /DM
If the players didn’t want to subject themselves to that, maybe they’d actually crack open a rulebook for once /DMgang
Wasn’t the online tabletop service basically dead on arrival anyways? Like the guy who was supposed to make it got murdered or something so it never got finished.
Yeah that’s what happened. A lot of 4e’s bad ideas were anti consumer, but a lot of its good ideas were ahead of their time - if it had been finished, a Roll20-esque online tabletop would have really made the game a lot more playable.
WOTC has the right idea now though of just letting other companies do that stuff and focusing their own efforts on the books.
There’s an official WotC-run DnD league or somesuch where if you want to play anything other than a starting level 1 character you need it to be certified that the character was leveled by playing in official WotC-run events. First time I’ve heard about it I thought it was a joke but apparently it’s pretty popular.
The Adventurer’s League is pretty neat actually, you could describe it as the “D&D MMO” (not to be confused with the D&D MMO). Though since you go from group to group you never really develop the rapport with the other players that you do in a long-term group, it’s most valuable as a structured way to meet other players IMO.
It’s cool that WotC runs games anyone can participate in, but is the whole certified character thing necessary? Couldn’t they allow people to create new level 5 characters for a level 5 game? Maybe they do, it’s been years since I’ve heard about it.
There can never be anything to stop you from downloading NFT art since you need to be served the file in order to view it.
You know what makes DND fun? Real-world scarcity of cool backstories
:desolate: calling it now the newest peak of NFT shit is gonna be some type of parasocial NFT fusion trying to financialize social interactions via a gig friend service or some such bullshit (like those fucking boyfriend/girlfriend rental things in Japan).
Somehow it will be Pewdiepie regaining social media dominance and at least one NFT will involve blackface and will be worth 5 million dollars.
