[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 9337760, member: 7006"] There's no hostility towards the people who say they want a Warlord for 5E... it's much more about being amused by it. It's been TEN YEARS. An [I]entire decade[/I] of people wanting a Warlord. And yet despite being told they aren't going to get it from WotC, and being told there are plenty of 3rd Party designers who have made usable Warlords for people... they still just keep saying the same things again and again, year after year. They say they can't use 3rd Party Warlords because they play online and it would be too hard to program the Warlord into whatever system they use. Well, they've had [B]10 years[/B] to try to add it and work out all the bugs but apparently that's not enough time. Or they say they can't use 3rd Party Warlords because their DM refuses to use random third party material. Even though those DMs have had [B]10 years[/B] to look at the playtested Warlords of these designers and even run playtests of these Warlords themselves with the player who wants to use them. And still that apparently isn't enough. I just find the whole thing amusing. You've had a decade to convince your DM of the balanced nature of the 3PP material or to hand-type the information into Roll20 or Foundry yourself, but still... that's apparently still a no go. So instead we get [I]another[/I] thread here with someone asking "How come there's no Warlord?" to which we get 30 PAGES of people talking about it and complaining about it. People seem to have all the time in the world to type pages after page after page here about why there should be a Warlord or what the Warlord should do, but no time to actually [I]get[/I] a usable Warlord put in front of the people who could actually incorporate it into their game. That's just funny to me. [/QUOTE]
