A dark creature that stalks the night killing everything smaller than it for pleasure that has a name which if spoken is capable of sending 13% of the population into a murderous frenzy?
And homicidal. And powerful/dangerous. And hyper intelligent, which is why the 2000 D&D movie reducing them to glorified guard dogs was such a travesty.
Because the things - I won't call them people - this is for are so soft, weak, and neurotic that even pretend conflict is too much for them. So they turn everything the touch into soft, safe, boring "cozy" shit. And if course fag it up, too, since apparently shit fucking and aids is cozy.
I'm just going to assume the beholder cast a powerful charm spell over the entire town and is looking forward to the horrified reaction when it drops the spell mid-debauchery.
And then the skies turned red, as legions of undead, numbering the millions, arose to slaughter everyone. That's what happens when you prioritize gay weddings over stopping mad necromancers.
I've never played the game. I've always been an awkward person, so didn't really have the friend group. I have to ask how important was romance in the game before the gay shit? Do people make their characters do the Horizontal Charleston?
Imagine openly saying intimate, flirty stuff or sexting your SO in front of a group of your friends. Its extremely awkward for everyone involved.
So no, it was never important because its a group of friends or strangers playing each character and only wierd spergs would want to cross that barrier and continue to do so without realizing how uncomfortable everyone was.
The problem is that the "most vocal" players are podcast people (who engage in shipping wars to drive viewership) and loud trannies/degenerates who have poly sexual courtship circles in their games.

That reminds me of a joke.
A woman is talking to her landlord about not being able to afford rent. She starts to unbutton her shirt and says, "Maybe I can pay in other ways?" The landlord leers at her, "Oh yeah, you can sexy," he replies licking his lips.
"Damn it mom and dad your children are right here, can't you play Monopoly like normal people!"
It was always possible but the WotC era, and specifically the 5e era has been about telling a story rather than playing a game. It's almost become more about playing pre-written campaigns with a defined start and end, with character arcs, etc.
D&D has become a lifestyle product rather than a game. There was a guy bagging my groceries with a rainbow d20 tat on, so I foolishly asked him how long he'd been playing for, since I've been playing since I was 8 in 1986. He told me he had never played before, he just really liked Critical Role.
edit: to be fair, it's always been done by people trying to force D&D to do things it's not designed to do rather than play a game specifically intended for that sort of playstyle, it's just far more over about telling you that you're Playing Wrong
Critical Role will always be the worst thing to happen to dnd and is what made me realize why gate keeping hobbies is so important when i was younger i always wanted more people to play and enjoy the things i loved but now i realize they are a parasite
Now Solo Leveling is winning anime of the year when more thoughtful shows like Frieren get shoved to the wayside. Muh aura farming faggot incel power fantasy shit
When someone used to hollywood trash sees sakuga the first time, it tends to blind them to any failings of the show. Solo Leveling isn't a very good show, but it admittedly is a very pretty show.
I rememebr hearing from an aquantince that's she'd started playing with some othe theater career rejects. I forget what I asked. Some basic "how's it going" and she said essentially "Oh I don't know, we didnt really do the levels part"
Its stuck with me. And this is coming from a guy who does dice less when I GM.
Yes, back when I was younger, we didn't have any women in our group, and it wasn't because we didn't try. They refused to be seen with us nerds. We weren't even picky about who we gamed with, it was enough to be interested in playing the game, and we always needed new players so unless you were completely unbearable to be around, you were in.
Not really important. Our DM has sometimes thrown in NPCs that you could form a relationship with, never really goes into detail... It's really just treated as another mechanic to raise the stakes and story telling.
Creates new no win situations, like save the girl or save ur friends.
There are PLENTY of horror stories over on Reddit tho... Where freaky and perverted ass players want to go into those details. Or the DM will go about monster raping the female characters, a player may play a Chaotic Evil character and use it as an excuse to go being an aggressive sexual deviant.
That's been a thing for a while. Kobolds have some kind of intelligence -> Kobolds must be misunderstood victims of racism -> Fantastically homo furry fetish.
This village is under a pretty powerful spell. I mean, everyone is gay. There is no way this village will survive a generation or even the winter. My bet is the Beholder read a romance novel and is having fun. Only it can see beyond the spell.
It's why I exclusively play GURPS these days. I'm sure Steve Jackson Games are just as pozzed as WotC, their Twitter account avatar has the fag flag colors year round, but getting a GURPS group going is like starting a cult, so gatekeeping is not only possible, it's fundamental. There's no lore, no setting, it's just a set of rules and mechanics you can apply to any situation you can think of. Exactly what WotC is celebrating here with that pride parade bullshit, only in our group we're incredibly racist. One of our games we were a squad of Waffen SS who went through a portal and tore through a fantasy world looking for resources and possible super weapons.
Until I see Bobby having a Uni sandwich in front of the smouldering bodies of Hank, Diana, Presto, Sheila and Eric, with Venger and the Dungeon Master laughing maniacally now that they've both been consumed by the will of the Nameless One, this is just another day in Ankh-Morpork waiting for Sam Vimes to clock in.
The art looks borderline AI, and it also copies a more cartoon look like it's Steven Universe or something. Practically zero genuine shading, and a lot of flat colors. Good job having so many characters in one picture I guess.
The cool thing about D&D and TTRPGs in general is you don't have to use any of that faggot shit. It's fantasy, so change it up how you want. I know I do. Besides, the PDFs and VTT modules are out there free and they also have whole sites dedicated to the rules from current and past editions. It's not hard to not give these insufferable fuckwads money.
I'm telling a story of getting the fuck out of there and playing a different game.
“Rocks fall; everyone dies.”
Meteor falls, the setting dies.
The entire planet is torn up into a new dead and desolate asteroid belt orbiting the sun.
Which is unironically a better setting than anything WOTC has put out in a decade.
And the faggotry of what was survives only as the evil spirits of the dead urging the living to commit degeneracy-
Goddammit, we made Scientology.
That only happens when sales tank. Ask OG Warhammer.
I'm sure this is what Gygax envisioned. I haven't played much but thankfully I've played with people who actually wanted to play D&D
Don't worry, the current crowd hate Gygax. Even the Reddit OSR crowd hates Gygax.
Really annoys me how they crap on the creators of these things and infiltrate just to ruin it
(H.P. Lovecraft would like to know your location.)
Don’t even get me started. These morons totally disrespect Lovecraft but still use his stuff.
They refuse to use one of his things. His cat.
A dark creature that stalks the night killing everything smaller than it for pleasure that has a name which if spoken is capable of sending 13% of the population into a murderous frenzy?
Sounds like a idea for a monster
Poor Nigger.
You expect otherwise from trannies and fags with bodies full of worms?
Why is the beholder of all creatures partying with them? Aren't those creatures supposed to be super racist or something?
Unless it's smiling from all the methods it's thinking up on how to exterminate the town.
And homicidal. And powerful/dangerous. And hyper intelligent, which is why the 2000 D&D movie reducing them to glorified guard dogs was such a travesty.
So the beholder is the tranny representation then!
Each eye is a different gender
Because danger is low-key problematic, don'cha know.
Because the things - I won't call them people - this is for are so soft, weak, and neurotic that even pretend conflict is too much for them. So they turn everything the touch into soft, safe, boring "cozy" shit. And if course fag it up, too, since apparently shit fucking and aids is cozy.

"Tiamat is here, she demands pure gay virgin as a sacrifice!"
Looks around at depraved faggiton
"Oooh, we're fucked..."
One of those odd oxymorons, a gay virgin
Nick Fuentes has entered the chat...
Its not attraction its APPRECIATION!

"Damn it mom and dad your children are right here, can't you play Monopoly like normal people!"
Pretty much the only acceptable way to do romance was over the top and campy, playing it for comedy, and then a tasteful fade to black.
Other way was "yeah, you bang. now back to killing goblins."

Normie acceptance is the kiss of death. Look what happened when games and anime became mainstream.

The target demo changed from autists to drama kids. It is one of the mediums that they've successfully taken over.
I rememebr hearing from an aquantince that's she'd started playing with some othe theater career rejects. I forget what I asked. Some basic "how's it going" and she said essentially "Oh I don't know, we didnt really do the levels part"

I blame the downward trajectory of Vampire the Masquerade for this

Not typically important at all. Most tables don't want to ERP with other sweaty *nerds, so...
When I played it many years ago, it was all about combat.
Not really important. Our DM has sometimes thrown in NPCs that you could form a relationship with, never really goes into detail... It's really just treated as another mechanic to raise the stakes and story telling.

All about what your table is for.
It’s just black tranny aids now.
Unless its something they dont like... maybe i want all white elves. Maybe i want bikini armo maybe i want a species that say only the word nigga..
But nah. Only approved stories are allowed.
"Does anyone in the party speak orcish?"
"Nope"
"Then you hear: Watchutalk'inbout! Niggafosho, niggafosho!"
Some of the names they come up with do sound straight out of a mid 00s MMO like Davontramius or LaVreesha.
Looks like Sodom.
Or Gomorrah. Perhaps a mix of both.
They even pozzed the Kobolds?!
That's been a thing for a while. Kobolds have some kind of intelligence -> Kobolds must be misunderstood victims of racism -> Fantastically homo furry fetish.
They’re using the Kobolds as scaly fleshlights? Smdh.
This village is under a pretty powerful spell. I mean, everyone is gay. There is no way this village will survive a generation or even the winter. My bet is the Beholder read a romance novel and is having fun. Only it can see beyond the spell.
Someone should really do a D20 Spotcheck.
It really is, look at the Beholder, it's charmed the whole place.
Best do a lore and spell check. Also, figure out a way to buffer it from getting to us.
I love all the replies where the party gets destroyed.
Yeah. A fantasy world. What’s the error?
That it's the Magical Realm of depraved faggots.
Elemental demi-plane of disease.
Nurgle hungers.
They aren’t slowing down. I’m honestly curious to see how gay it can get.
Hide your horses, hide your sheep.
It's not repulsive enough for you already?
Race war now.
Kill every elf.

Would've made a great anime. Scourge of Monsters.
Can you be a sexy half naked chick with a sword tho?
Yes, there's even an attribute for attractiveness.

Even the Beholder is gay.
They faggoted up a beholder.
Happy endings thanks to AI:

If EVERYONE is gay, their civilization(s) won't be around for long, eh? In most universes, using magic for procreation is a bad idea...
What the fuck is this
Planet Weimar.
The villains won the war.
I'm telling the story of the Spider Queen and a few legions of Drow wiping out this settlement. It has a happy ending.
