I really wish I understood this one. Anybody to explain the funny of the joke?

[-] casocial@monyet.cc 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In Pathfinder 2.5E (aka D&D 3.9375E), drow never existed and were made up by a gaslighting Pathfinder.

you should just use actual names of the games, there are so many layers of jokes here they get in each other's way

Is this a way to say they were removed when they dropped the OGL?

[-] BigP@ttrpg.network 8 points 1 year ago

I think the joke is that their skin tone gets lighter each edition, and eventually it will become a literal light.

[-] KurtDunniehue@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

They shouldn't have included the 2nd picture then. It's the lightest of all of them.

You must be a hoot at parties 🙄

Instead of spewing a trite cliche, why don't you contribute by explaining it? I don't get it either.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Because someone else already explained it, leaving me free to comment on the unhelpful grumpiness of the sourpuss up there.

[-] CeruleanRuin@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I must've missed the explanation. Is it really just that the skin color in the art changes in each edition? I agree with the grump.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Well they were originally known as Dark Elves, so them getting gradually lighter is somewhat ironic but to each their own, I guess 🤷

Bless your heart, sweetie.
