Well, in my eyes "Magic shops" kill the magical feeling of magics, if what I'm saying makes sense. I believe that magic, the playing with Secrets that Man was not Meant to Know, should be something wondrous and mysterious in the setting.
I've nothing against the "Ye Olde Shoppe of Exotics and Memorabilia" where you can buy a stuffed alligator, an ancient Egyptian protective scarab and an ointment from the Land Beyond the Sea that will make you irresistible to women (as long as the scarab, the only thing in all the shop that has actually a practical purpose, isn't treated by the characters as some high-tech device with specific and well-documented effects and limitations).
What bothers me is the character saying "Well, I've 1200 spare gold pieces, let's go to the stall at the corner to see if I can get a +3 sword and maybe some useful potion to keep in the backpack." If you want, an economy of magic.

I know, I'm weird :D

Well, magic items need to come from somewhere. And enchanter having a shop do not shock me to be honest.
Now, the +3 shit I don't like either.

But I get what you mean, you'd rather have magic like in the LOTR where it's not a well explained thing, but something that always stay mysterious.

A small thing at always annoys me is in a lot of 3d and in sometimes in 2d games when the shirts and bras are like glued around the breasts

Like idk how Daz clothing works but it seems only like a texture you slap on a body and not like clothes with form.

There are ways to fix problems like that, it's just most dev's don't bother... View attachment 2237783 Ziggi_Meet 37.png AmeliaRoom_KissOnCheek_03.png

In all 3 of them the top is "pulled" away from the default" hugging breasts" state.

In short, magic items became a baked-in part of character progression and stats

Yes, I considered touching that subject too, but I decided against it since I was ranting enough and I see it as mostly keyed to D&D 3e.
Sure, the seeds were there in the previous editions too, but those seeds were what I wanted to talk about in the first place.

And tf is thatchpunk?
It has something to do with ultra-liberist politicians of the 1980s?

'Thatchpunk' was my off the cuff attempt to come up with a word for D&D's, and anything it inspired, tendency to be a weird hybrid of modern superhero stuff, medieval thatched rooftops and castles aesthetics, and post apocalyptic ruins full of lost magic mcguffins

If it has an established meaning with some obscure political party, I'm sorry lol. I'd also considered 'wattle-and-daubcore' but the dashes felt a bit silly :p

Thanks for the answer.
The first pic didn't load in and your "List of published games" in your signature isn't working.

The list was deleted by mods here for "spamming"... Seems like having a list of all my games is called spam these days.
