I just received a Warning for this post. For being Anti-inclusive. This board is now not worth my time. I will not be coming back here. Receiving warnings for not agreeing with the moderator's position is unacceptable. Goodbye. Edit: to anyone reading this, the warning was NOT issued for...

Let's take totally fictitious made up races in a role playing game about killing beings and taking their stuff that some people find racist because they imagine the game has based them on real life people....and make those totally fictitious folk more realistic and base them on real life people...

I voted Kin because the old second best rpg and now the Best rpg uses that one! Tunnels and Trolls!

WOTC said he was. When a company comes out and says they are racist. We should believe them.

I disagree with most of the above. I don't find orcs racist at all. I do find it bad to comb through the game remaking it to suit social justice. I do think going down this road will be bad for D&D. BUT.....this is a thread on a messageboard. I can see i'm not going to get through to any of...

Oh so now if someone doesn't agree with you. Doesn't see that Orcs=Black People. They are defending Racism? Do you not see how messed up that is? This isn't happening in a vacuum. you can go on Youtube and watch a Black women who owns a store get beaten by four white men rioters screaming at...

But there is no connection. None. But for just one moment let's pretend there is. Lets say orcs are racist. so then what? We have to change them so they are not fun to be killed by? Fun to be kill? What about Goblins? you sure that isn't racist as well? Gnolls? I mean come on..gnolls are...

It's because we are not racist. We don't see your point at all. Orcs are bad. Orcs are violent brutish psychotic monsters who are fun to kill and fun to be killed by. Minorities are real life human beings that we are. They are the heroes playing the game. Our DM, our fellow players,ourselves...

You feeling its racist doesn't make it so. The only person who sourced a accusation used a well known false one. I do however admit one thing. It doesn't matter about Tolkien. D&D isn't Tolkien and WOTC said they are racist and I believe them.

I think they rolled a Nat 1. They are based in seattle not THAT far from a hotspot of social unrest where unknown people with guns and fire bombs (along with a bunch of people who are dressing as elves and wizards and smoking....Fun things )and pointed out(True or not) that their game is racist...

Nope, I'm fine with my statement. Seems easy to understand to me. Let me see if I can help you. I will now make up a race. Let's call them the Hogus. The Hogus are born from a curse like plague that turns every living creature it touches into Hogus. The Hogus are morally devoid of goodness and...

Oh that hogwash yet again. Sorry those rumors are false. He does state that he doesn't approve of the beaked or feathered versions of the orcs but finds that the humanoid form fits much better and that perhaps some degenerate form of Elf or human should be used. He eventually used the Elves and...

Source? I chased that rabbit and never found anything there. From everything I have found there is nothing of any actual substance to those wishes. I say wishes because it was obvious many people desired it to be true. *I did want to add that D&D actually does a good job of preserving it's...

They are not problematic at all. Why do you not like orcs? Orcs are fine....good monster race to beat the crud out of and have do evil stuff. Vistani? huh? These guys are cool. I don't understand people who have issues with this stuff... Faerun isn't earth! It doesn't have jack to do with...

I have had a 1st level party take out a owlbear before the owlbear even had a chance to go. I have had a 5th party take out a 13CR big bad when he was placed there to scare them away and foreshadow the end. Granted my guys are on the edge of powergaming at times and very experienced but yeah...

You mixed up fact and opinion again,need to work on that. Also you might want to look at the time tables on those people you mentioned and what happened to them. Gary Gygax was in my opinion a brilliant game designer who risked a lot on what he saw as the real possibility of what this new hobby...

Just played a great game of BX. Now to get ready for my 5E game tomorrow. I love both games. When I take a break from BX for too long I start to get so sick of 5E's way of doing things. When I take a break from 5E for too long I miss it like crazy. Both games scratch totally different itches.

What a Twist! *If he is one of your players im getting more popcorn. **Please Please be one of his players!

I do think Wizards are fine as is in 5E ........as long as the DM does give them access to a wide variety of spells. I have played and ran 5E adventure paths and mostly this is not the case. The vast majority of casters the party defeated were not wizards but Sorcerers. If the DM adds in...

I don't think there is a issue. A disagreement in a thread is fine. It's just the human desire to become angry at disagreement that often leads people down the wrong road. Not saying that is what's happening here just ....its a message board....that sort of thing does tend to happen.
