Yeah, while I agree with the core message rebuking ecofascism and pointing out that environmental damage is a capitalistic issue, depicting indigenous folks as the sole tenders of the land is some Noble Savage shit.
I just realized how funny the concept is that we gloss over that bards basically spend the 30 seconds a fight lasts just complementing people one after the other. It feels right when combat is spaced out over a few hours, but when you condense it back down to 30 seconds it just gets goofy again.
It's also guaranteed to be subject to mod corruption. You think a mod won't remove posts so their's or an alt/friend hits top page more frequently? Not that I think most mods and users are that kind of person, but capitalism corrupts, and a lack of profit motive was a huge thing that kept most communities together and friendly, because karma was basically just monopoly money.
I heard one DM say that they let the players choose, either they get to pick a feat, or they pick an ASI and the DM chooses a feat for them. The reason being that it means that the player has the chance to pick one of the big power spike feats (GWM, PAM, Sentinel, War caster) or get an ASI and get something thats not quite as big an impact mechanically, but helps develop the flavor of their character ( think like actor, charger, heavily armored). I haven't tried it, but I want to give it a shot some time.
I giggled at that too, especially when combined with the blogger's quote "Ask them what https means and why it is important and they'll look at you as if you're speaking Klingon."
I'm not the only mod, there's a solid group of who chat regularly in a discord, but I am historically the most active (although spicythuder is doing amazing work, if this was a competition they'd be winning rn lol) and do most of the public facing stuff.
