Since you understand the meaning, why not suggest an acceptable term and we can all use that and move on instead of endlessly kvetching about a term?

Allow me to introduce you to the apparent paradox of tolerance. "Oh, it's okay. You don't have to read it." "Oh, it's okay, you don't have to see it." "Oh, it's okay, it doesn't really impact you" are excuses at best. Sweeping making broad swaths of the fandom uncomfortable under the...

Really? The "majority" of it fits right in? I've already debunked the whole psycho hag murders children example. What other one would you like to bring up? Again, nothing you're claiming seems to actually be in touch with reality. You keep making vague presentiments that if WotC builds...

And, just for the general reader here, and not aimed at anyone specific, the reason I'm very combatative here is because I find my patience at an end after all this time. Years of hearing the same tone-deaf arguments get trotted out every single time WotC decides to not resurrect some content...

Highly combatative? Possibly. I get a bit impatient when people jump into conversations without any context in order to be right. If you weren't actually adding to the conversation, why bother? But, that's neither here nor there. You refuse to actually show what the content would look like...

I refer you to @Umbran ’s very solid responses since they are far more patient than mine.

Look, the bottom line is that the question has been asked and answered repeatedly but for some reason, the answer never seems to sink in. There is no upside for WotC here. No matter what they do they will both go too far and not far enough at the same time. Everyone will be pissed off no...

What judgement? That slavery is one of the most horrific things in history? I don't think that's too much of a stretch. That slavery is equivalent to things like genocide in its level of horror? Again, I don't think that's a terribly unfair judgement. But, ok, fair enough. How would you...

So much for trying to be a bit funny and inject a smidgeon of levity into the discussion. Should know better. Nothing like taking a lengthy post, stripping out any context, ignoring every single point, in order to focus in on something that is very much not the point. Let's ignore all the...

Well okay then. Howzabout we get back to the actual discussion then? I see that you found my description of trying to actually publish a Darksun source book to be workthy of a frowny face. Which part did you disagree with? Do you think that my interpretation of how things would go is somehow...

Irony is ironic. Complaining about responses to a post that was jumping into a conversation that apparently you were not bothering to read. If you weren’t interested in the conversation why did you provide a definition?

Ahh, I see. You didn't bother learning the context of the conversation and jumped in with a completely uninformed opinion in order to quote a dictionary at me? Good to know. Considering the conversation was about the art being "twee" I'd say that's kinda the important point.

Ok, let's see how this would work in actual practice. Presenting slavery. It's DS, so slavery is part of the setting. But, if you thought people lost their poop over the Hadozee picture, imagine the reaction to a full color spread of a slave owner beating a slave. Or a slave market. Or...

Sigh. That's not the point. It's not about differing opinions though, is it? It's about using a term that in no way actually applies, to describe something. The only reason the word is being used is because it's vaguely negative in the mind of the user so, it's a justification of "this is...

I'd say his difinition is pretty solid to be honest. I'd pretty much agree that there is only one image of the first ten non-dice images in the PHB that could even remotely be called "twee". But, hey, we're not about evidence or actual facts anymore. Let's be brutally honest. This is about...

I know this sounds snarky but what exactly do we mean by complex vs simple? To me, rules complexity is defined by the number of places where rules need to be applied in order to resolve the task. Adnd combat is a great example. You need to go through about ten or so steps to resolve each...

Believe it or not, this is actually a fairly close image of the final scene of my last session. And the blue giant is actually our PC warlock after a rather unfortunate wild surge due to the phaesress (sp) of the Underdark. (He rolled a 97, then a 6 which triggers all the following effects...

ROTFLMAO. Weapons and armor are simulated? In what way? How? Exactly how are weapons and armor simulated in D&D? Worlds are not simulated BY D&D in any way. The worlds are virtually system neutral and do not rely on the mechanics in any way. Heck, often the world building contradicts the...

That's my point. The "fluff" is 100% generated by the DM. The Dm could easily not mention the crumbling rock and it would make no difference. In other words, the system is not informing the narrative at all. Thus, not a simulation.
