Every time I see this beholder, I am convinced fag acceptance is a serious mental disease. By accepting gays it morphs your mindset into thinking "Since butt fucking faggots are good, then maybe other things that I thought weren't good are actually good as well." The result of this is literally people thinking not all demons are bad, most are just misunderstood, and floating eyeball death monsters just want to be accepted and happy.

>>96787070

>>96785639
People can say that all they want, but this shit is still trying to influence what new blood comes into the hobby.

>>96780598 (OP)
I liked the interpretation that the beholder is actually mind controlling everyone into engaging in debauchery for its own sick pleasure. Might make it into an adventure where they have to kill the beholder then the town never talk about it again and punish the crimes committed.

>>96782853
The old one was intended to be funny, while the new one is a political statement

It's funny how wotc wants to make their gaymes more for children, and yet they can't stop putting their degeneracy into it. The grooming isn't even subtle at this point

>>96791214
I'm sorry man, this stuff just isn't triggering anymore now that we know it's just a coping mechanism for your self loathing. You project yourself into your own fantasies of suicide and hate crimes to punish the queer you wish you weren't. One day, after you have accepted yourself, you will look back on this behavior and feel ashamed. You are in the lowest point of your hero's journey to self actualization and I'm rooting for you.

>>96780598 (OP)
Why are you still playing this game?

Did you know that faggots will chase diseases like Aids as a fetish? Thats kind of fucked up right

>>96791266

>everyone else is a queer monster thats why they hate us so much
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Keep it up fag. You are clearly winning

>>96791355
Your heart is poisoned by hate because you do not have the courage to love yourself. You are your own antagonist and you will overcome it. I believe in you, anon.

Did you know that monkey pox was being spread to animals and adopted children that belonged to faggots? Thats strange, its only transmitted through sex.

>>96791369
Nope just know the truth about faggots. The world becomes a better place once you kill yourself

If you're mad about Beholders being good then you can't like Drizzt

Did you know that the gay gene was never found? That must mean that its a mental illness right?

>>96791396
>you can't like Drizzt
correct

>>96791394
>The world becomes a better place once you kill yourself
I know you say that to the mirror every night. I understand the pain and repression you feel. You can defeat it, anon. You can defeat the hate.

Did you know that most faggots were molested at a young age? Thats how they spread thier illness.

In my experience it's the opposite.

You are just not smart. Faggot

Did you know that faggots will often cut thier anus with a razor to better get aids from their partner. Sounds like an illness to me

Check out the leftists getting emotional in this thread. Did those right wing chuds hurt your feelings again? lmao

Did you know that faggots often adopt babie boys for sexual pleasure? Sounds like we should kill them all, right?

>>96780939
>my god it just goes on and on

Did you know that troons kill themselves at rate of 41%. Isn't that down right funny

Honestly, that explains a lot about Vivian Medrano.

I'm generally very against the rhetoric of "erm if you don't like homosexuals it's because you're a closeted homosexual" but this anon is outing himself as an obsessed faggot so for once I agree with the leftist-anons

>>96791668
You see enough homo/transphobia, you begin to spot the difference between casual ignorant bigotry and the self-loathing kind. Chud anon ITT is clearly going through some stuff.

>>96790789
This wouldn't be OOC provided he was viciously bigoted against other beholders

Did you know that faggots cant give blood because of how disgusting they are. Even science says thier blood isnt clean.

>>96790789
By 'victim' they mean the player, right

>>96790904
I can't believe you didn't bring up that one of the men was a tiefling...

I mean are we sure he's not?

>>96791668
>I like pedophiles
Did you know that thats not a good thing?

Did you know that faggots will often sodomize their pets. They are driven by base pleasure and care not for the well being of others.

How the hell do Beholders manage to lead crime syndicates and successful businesses when they're all borderline insane schizophrenic monsters living in caves like the homeless?

The "sane" (insane by Beholder standards) Beholder is one who doesn't have a mind that's disconnected, or split into two. Is Xanathar this?

I know I'm supposed to be mad at all the gay stuff in that image, but honestly the part that makes me feel the worst are the kobolds. Remember when they used to be this LE menace that's basically better organized goblins who would put you through a gauntlet of traps and then toss you into a volcano? And now every depiction of kobolds is just Deekin with severe brain damage? Even in BG3 the only kobold you talk to is a lolsorandumb meme obsessed with snacks. The internet absolutely eviscerated kobolds and /tg/ is partly responsible btw.

You know how many times WotC forced me to look at this shit? Zero.

Meanwhile you fuckers who CANNOT STOP SEETHING have shown me this image at least like once an hour every waking hour since it was released.

What the fuck is wrong with you retards? You're aware you get to pick who is at your table right? I swear the majority of the faggots losing their mind over this shit think WotC is doing a fucking patch to 5e to change the beholders in every printed monster manual to be a canonical tranny. They have no fucking clue what DnD let alone TTRPGs as a whole actually are beyond "Something about dice and playing pretend". KILL ALL FUCKING NORMALFAGS.

>>96793322

Why blame WotC? Why blame a corporate entity? If you were brave, you would blame the Communists, who are omni-present in the Tabletop Community and work as writers, organizers, community managers and producers. The corporate leadership are probably the most innocent part in all of this. We see the same thing in game studios. Gaming developers are either Communist or weak nerds, who just fold to the social pressure, effectively making everyone woke.

I dont get what's issue with having a beholder there. Like, in 3.5 beholders were "Usually Lawful Evil". That meant it was entirely possible for them to be other alignments.
Alignments in generic statblocks for D&D were never absolute. The sort-of exception was outsiders, who usually had a very hard time changing alignment.


The weirdest thing about the art is that the beholders central eye is open. Unless its a variant the antimagic cone would be interfere with party stuff.

>>96800606
>I dont get what's issue
You 100% do.

>>96800606
Please read up on Beholders and how they act.

>>96800671
>>96800713
>>96800738
What's the issue? Beholders are Aberrations, rather than Outsiders, so they don't have that restriction on changing alignments due to literally being made of good or evil.

Even then you have multiple ways to magically change alignments, like the helm of Opposite alignment, or the deck of many things.

no one outside the WotC bubble is seeing this. Ask your coworker about the gay beholder of how many gay dwarves and battle wheelchaires are in D&D, see how much their campaigns affect people.
If people kept up with D&D they wouldn't be playing 5e because it's a shit system, if people play D&D it's because they don't actually hear anything from the company.

Get yourself a real problem and stop whinning about shit that doesn't affect you.

When did /tg/ get full of thin skit faggots that need to spend days complaining about every single thing that hurts their feelings?
This isn't even in a book, it's from a social media post. You've spent days making threads about a social media posts that triggered you. You fucking babies. How can you call other people faggots when you made complaining about social media a part of your day?

>>96793322
you've been playing this game of "just ignore it" for over a decade and its only gotten worse (assuming you're not a falseflagging newfag)

If this shit surprises you then you are completely out of touch with the average TTRP player these days.

>>96803053
>no one outside the WotC bubble is seeing this.
and thats where your wrong, since it was plastered on /pol/ and then picked up by right wing culture war Youtubers. So its definitely outside the WOTC bubble.

>>96803954
pretty much. Most of the TTRPG crowd these days are people that hate themselves because of various mental illnesses/defects, and use character creation/world building as a form of quasi theraputic escapism, where they can pretend to be the thing they want to be. WOTC is/has been fully leaning in to that crowd; delusion makes them easy marks.

>>96800606
A beholder with heart-shaped pupils is disgusting regardless of the context.
It could be in a dungeon ripping out the heart of some adventurer or just hanging out watching some gays dance, it's still retarded-looking.

>>96791524
It's really not. Just accept on a planet of 8 but probably actually 10 billion people (those fucking indians don't count so good sars) your 'true self' is worth next to nothing. No one cares if you are authentic, even the people who got you started on the solipistic path don't care simply understanding that self worship is the fastest way to make you into a useful idiot.

I really love how this went from 'what you do in your own bedroom is your own problem' to ' we're going to squat in all the kid friendly franchises just cause bigot'.

People are going to string these gay pedofiles up and the other option is feet first into the Industrial press. Don't worry about it, you still can stroke your dingaling and ego or whatever you want. No one is going to ask you to do a thing.

>>96804809
Symbol is different, just looked into it, not to mention if you draw heart eyes it's pretty normal to do both the pupil and the iris as hearts

Yet you're the ones bitching about a Party Beholder at a gay party...

>>96785639
This, its ultimately a cynical marketing tool to draw in cozy/twee girls and queer people who like the ideas of rules and games, who buy these books based on the image of multicultural fantasy characters hanging out. Then all the rules are based around how your character kills monsters and navigates dungeons, and lists of stat blocks for monsters they can kill. Other games have much better rulesets for designing a monster killer and a scenario in which he kills monsters, but DND has the best brand recognition, and they make the same $50 selling a book to a fat girl who will never play the game as they do to a fat guy who will play it with other fat guys

>>96806743
And is the phrase gay beholder a bannable offense because it upsets people here? No? Then we're objectively less offended because we don't restrict the use of words that hurt our feefees.
... come to think of it I'm pretty sure if you said gay beholder in the wrong context on certain subs that would probably get you banned the same way as if you said faggot beholder because I'm sure some faggots on reddit consider the word gay to be a charged slur.

Can the two halves of a beholder’s mind fall in love ??

>>96803483
You literally have no obligation to invite a single person into you group who doesn't want to play the campaign you designed. No minister of queer enforcement is going to break into your den to make sure your campaign features an adequate number of gay orcs and trans tieflings for your mandatory MTF player to identify with. No Hasbro rep will withdraw your DND license if your campaign mostly focuses on fighting dragons and you don't produce a single 1d8 table for asking an elf their pronouns

I think i've actually gotten banned on 4chan over the years WAY more than i've ever been banned on reddit or other sites.
Like it or hate it, this site isn't purely about free speech. You'll get banned for nudity on blueboards, or posting porn on the wrong red board. A lot of people say the mods here should be harsher even.
>>96806952
>And is the phrase gay beholder a bannable offense because it upsets people here? No? Then we're objectively less offended because we don't restrict the use of words that hurt our feefees.

You aren't "objectively less offended". I dont think the janitors really care about what offends you or me, and they dont really take that into consideration when banning people.

>... come to think of it I'm pretty sure if you said gay beholder in the wrong context on certain subs that would probably get you banned the same way as if you said faggot beholder because I'm sure some faggots on reddit consider the word gay to be a charged slur.

I will say only one thing in WOTC's defense: I genuinely think that if they were to return to a more old-school fantasy aesthetic the vast majority of people currently complaining about the direction they've went with would still not play DnD or spend a single cent in DnD product.

I'm just convinced that people never put their money were their mouth is at this point, those that consoom will never stop consooming no matter how much they complain, and those only complain and don't consoom will not suddenly become customers if you pander to them. So I can't blame a company for pandering to the costumers they do have.

lmfao

This is how "go woke, go broke" ACTUALLY works. You just define any woke product - no matter how wildly successful - that does well as not counting, for whatever stupid reason. Yes, if you do that, all the woke products are failures. However, any objective person has no reason to go along with these silly shell games.

>>96842207
Woke generally means a game that has a clear social and progressive message. One that preaches to you at every level of its story and characters. BG3 has woke elements e.g. faggot characters but that alone does not make it woke. For example BG3 didn't have garbage like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7uoKLKbXxM

>>96842492
Yeah, as I said, if you just arbitrarily say that woke = bad then it is tautologically true, but again, I have no obligation to pretend like fucking Saint's Row is woke but BG3 isn't. It's just a circular argument to serve your own stupid agenda.

Avatar: Way of Water was the third highest grossing movie of all time, btw. All your blithering about "the cultural zeitgeist" doesn't change that.

“But how does this affect you personally?” is retard cope.

How would NOT having gay propaganda forcibly rammed into every aspect of the hobby affect YOU personally?

“You pick who’s at your table and what game you run, don’t like it? Don’t include it!” (as someone said elsewhere) is equally retarded. D&D can and should be politically neutral to maximise appeal and grow the player base, and if faggots and gendertrenders want to queer up their own tables, let them do that.

Making ‘gay race communist’ the default political position of D&D is why it’s dying. Don’t know if you faggots have looked up from eating each others’ shit and preying on underage boys, but you’ve lost the culture war.

>>96861894

I had to think for a moment about how to respond to such a disingenuous argument. Do you think means that women perform 75% of spending in every single subset of consumer spending? Do you think 25% of consumer spending on tampons is by men?

>>96862004
I'm against wokeness. But I think the fact that women spend more than men is worth pushing. If women didn't own property, companies wouldn't chase their dollar.
Every company wants to attract that dollar to their market segment.

The test is the trans players who want to play trans characters when something as simple as True Polymorph, limited wish, divine rewards/intervention or plain DM fiat can literally make them cisgendered.

If you have a troon player who refuses an offer to make them the cis version of their identified gender, that’s all the proof you need that ‘trans’ is not a valid gender identity but a political statement.

Weird how if you go to any FLGS or games club you’ll still see 90% guys, mostly straight and white. Has someone told the xisterhood they’re letting the poor struggling company down?

There is plenty of stuff that women just aren’t interested in no matter how much it panders. TTRPG’s were invented and popularised almost exclusively by straight white men and in the 40+ years I’ve been part of the subculture women have never been more than 30% of any group I’ve been in (and that last was when I was in the V:tM global LARP in the late 90’s).

Women controlling the purse strings doesn’t mean shit when they aren’t interested in buying what you’re selling.

Ad hominem fallacy.

I don’t care whether women want to play D&D or other TTRPGs. My longest running campaign was WHFRP 2e ‘Empire in Flames’ and I had 2 women players in a party of five and we all had fun. My first RPG as a player was TSR’s ‘Top Secret’ and my DM was female.

What I object to is pandering to women, troons, faggots, sois, shitlibs, SJWs etc in such a way that people who just want to crush dungeons have to deal with obnoxious social progressivism stealing the spotlight… and then being told it’s more ‘inclusive’.

You don’t make things more inclusive by driving off huge chunks of the playerbase. This is the mis-step WOTC has made. They have turned off huge numbers of long term players uninterested in identity politics, then taken their ongoing cues from the SocJus detritus that’s left.

D&D is dying. RPG.net is dying. And it’s the ‘progressives’ paranoiacally policing the purity spiral like the most vicious Stalinist commissar, always alert for the slightest possibility of heresy or thoughtcrime that are to blame.

You think GamerGate is killing the hobby? It was over five years ago. The damage you’re seeing now is your side eating their own, not ‘the chuds’.

Well I’ve been playing or DM’ing D&D, RuneQuest, In Nomine, V:TM (tabletop and LARP versions), Cyberpunk 2020, Shadowrun, Traveller, WHFRP, Rifts, GURPS, Dark Heresy, HŌL and more, starting in 1983 and my POV is equally as valid as yours.

your entire post is just buzzwords and 4chan gibberish.

Maybe you should go back to where you came from if you don't like "4chan gibberish," faggot.

im from here, spergy. it just helps to not come across as a glue eating retard copy pasting half your vocabulary from more autistic boards.

No, but NOT doing that and instead going for more whimsical queer SoL keeps out the Nazis and that's more important than adhering to some boring idea of pulp sword fiction.

Who is the turist here? Remind me.

>>96870944
you aren't even a tourist. you are a poser.

>>96870951
I'm posing as what exactly?

>>96870961
pretending you are some die hard fan holding the door when you probably aren't invited to any table and all you do is stamp your feet and fume to pose as one of the hardcore geeks.
