Well, I think the first step to making it work would be to get out of it's own way.

in regards to exploration, part of the ranger's problem is that wilderness survival is kind of their thing, and a couple first level spells shouldn't replace them. If you, as DM don't want to focus on wilderness survival, then you can give them magic items to solve the issue. this puts it into...

I feel like certain "problem solver" spells need to go away, or better yet, turned into magic items. knock, comprehend languages, tongues, create food/water, goodberry, rope trick, etc. magic should be helpful in solving these problems, but not a quick and easy low level solution. these are...

If I were going to run Shadowrun I would use Genesys, the system the old Fantasy Flight Star Wars games used. The one with the funky dice. Shadows of the Beanstalk (The Genesys RPG for Android-Netrunner) provides an excellent rule set for hacking. A couple of Fan-Made Genesys conversions are...

I am not really sure what you would do with the information in Fastjack's Shadowfiles. It's a catalog of characters from the metafictional Jackpoint, how much they post, what books they posted in, when they posted within the metafiction, etc. It would make more sense as an excel file than a PDF...

What now? I wasn't looking for a "golden ticket to slavetown." I hope none of my posts have given that impression.

Additionally I might add that part of my point from earlier was that we can't lay all of the ownership of the discomfort at the feet of PoC. Part of that discomfort is mine and my feelings of playing the subjugator against a black player. even if they give the ok it still would feel icky doing...

Can't say. I don't claim to be an expert on the feelings of PoC. However, I will point out that we have left the realm of roleplaying, which changes matters.

One could argue that the problem is with me, or with the player, but I think that would be ignoring some of the cultural complexities that we live with. D&D is not played in a platonic world of forms. It is played in the real world with real people. If a black person asked to play in my Dark...

There are a couple of issues that I am reluctant to bring up because I don't want to get into a prolonged argument about them, but I feel are kind of necessary for the discussion. I bring these up not to tear the setting down or anything like that. I consider myself a fan of the setting and...

I'm not sure. I certainly felt that way. But it occurred to me today that maybe my circumstances were unique. I know the geeky subcultures were always out there but I always felt cut off from them.

Today it seems like Fantasy and Sci-Fi are "in." Probably starting around the time the Lord of the Rings movies came out, a lot of that changed. But growing up, somewhere along the way I learned that my love for fantasy was weird... maybe even a bit shameful. I remember being young in the 90's...

My problem with this is that you can say this about any interpretation of a work of fiction. Even interpretations that most people would agree on. Nothing means anything until you "make it out to be." Until then, it's just ink on paper. What is happening here is that D&D is being brought to a...

I never gave it a second thought to call a Warforged a "race." I expect "species" will fade into the background similarly.

I don't recall seeing this. Care to elaborate?

When it comes to science, it's always more complicated. From Wikipedia: It is possible for two species to have viable offspring. In the case of Mules, this results in sterility, but this isn't necessarily the case for all hybrids. In any event, scientists bend the rules for asexual species...

I don't think it's a strange choice, but I do think the days of designing campaign settings like that are over. Everything adds. Nothing subtracts.

Every time I play this game, I am in awe of the opening page. I know it's very cheesy, but there is something about the atmosphere of this image that I love. There is no real focus for the picture. It's not a picture of anyone, other than an assortment of monsters and treasures in a dungeon...
