On one hand I like how people are acknowledging and doing away with a lot of the racism and classism that was semi-intentionally written into DnD, but on the other hand I don't like how most groups deal with it by stripping away any significant roleplay difference between the races and basically treating them all like modern-day white Americans with special powers.

Like people will straight-up form a party consisting of awakened monsters, beings from the Astral Plane, and other such playable races that are explicitly one-in-a-million in a given setting and none of that will have any impact on how the characters are played or how any roleplay scenarios play out.

Swarm's Embrace. When a creature starts its turn within 5 feet of the Lamia, it may deal 10 piercing damage to that creature. Change Sha...

I tried to convert the 4e Lamia into 5th edition, check it out if you’re interested

So I've been binging gargoyles and I may or may not have gotten a race inspired by it almost done. Got lore all written up now to implement my ideas for mechanics!

Okay so I just want to ramble about the Icarus symbolism for a bit bc gdi Hawks if you die on me;;;

This is p brilliant symbolism to be honest - everything is perfect, from the light source shining specifically on Hawks to the falling feather in the foreground to the sheer arrogance in his lines. He’s a sassy little shit, he’s a young hotshot hero, he has wings and he has a sun: in this shot, in Endeavor and in the nomus he wants so desperately to wipe out of his hometown.

This bit’s quite obvious; Endeavor being compared to the sun - too hot, too vicious, too uncompromising and all-too-likely to burn off the wings of those who taunt him. But then there’s also the Nomu - in particular, this one:

Who goddamnit looks so fucking much like Kurogiri (@ shigaraki what did you do). Cutting from Hawks asking for a teamup to get rid of nomus to this particular nomu, said to be “a more-evolved nomu”; called “high-end” and capable of responding (which is very, very important) I’m basically absolutely fucking terrified right now. Especially since Horikoshi seems to want to tear down the hero system as it is so that the next generation (the current U.A. students) can rebuild it.

Shit guys this is important. Basically all the low-level workers in the film & TV industry, like the guys listed 12 screens down in the credits as something like "assistant key grip" or whatever, are going to be going on strike soon because they literally haven't been getting basic shit. Like they aren't getting meal breaks, have no time at all to rest, and only get a 1-day weekend.

I highly recommend you read through this thread and support the strike whatever way you can.
