https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/checkpoints/202004/no-orcs-arent-racist?amp Felt the discussion had been beat to death but found this for any interested parties. this guy will probably get doxxed and removed from His position. About make believe orcs. Biden better be careful in his...

Super fun preview. Anyone spot any additional pics of the minis online? Would love to see the line of them. I am curious about Theros ones though largely skipped Eberron and guildmasters guide minis. I am hopeful this set will have some good useful ones! So far so good!

You are correct. ASPD is in DSM-5, psychopathy is not. It’s a trait that can be measured and many people may have aspd but not be psychopathic. serial killers of course score higher on measures of psychopathy. Individuals with aspd almost by definition commit more crimes in aggregate than...

Damn. Thought my collection was pretty set. Ugh. Where my wallet...

No. Someone asserted the racists don’t like it implying those who want the game lore as is are racists. Black and white

Listen it all got solved. It was a pretty good discussion for a while. But it has been figured out. But the last few posts nailed it. Any preference for the game as is = racism. And the minority opinion is not welcome and should leave. That’s weak logic, weak treatment of others. Have no...

Totally. I think we have it with drow heroes and half orc heroes and lizard folk heroes and most of Volos, etc etc

Certainly get all that and understand the cringe feeling that comes about when we read things that are simply from another time. However, where does our caution stop in our make believe games? Will we have a cool game left? Missionaries “put people to the sword” for not converting in the...

It never ends! Every facet of the game can be tortured into some image of real life wrong doing associated with a tragedy. So far we should not have innately evil species of humanoids and then an example of being an adventuring warlord is also taboo for similar reasons. If you cannot...

I suspect you are being sincere here. So my disagreement is not with your intent. However, if it is “plain,” and “obvious” that the portrayal of these made up creatures is problematic (I do not think it is) you have to explain why the authors of 5e suddenly have a problem with it. Was it an...

Certainly. But some have asked why they don’t. I think that is easy to imagine too.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Flip this: why did people start cities? Why do we build? We do it for survival. I would imagine lizard folk however do just fine finding food in the swamp. They can hold their breath and dive. Their endurance and semi aquatic nature means that they...

I think (hope) anyone in this discussion cares about the hobby. And before that, hopefully they were taught to care about others and don’t suffer from some sort of antisocial personality disorder or true sociopathy. I suspect that is unlikely. However, your concerns have some merit. The...

Point taken. A being in league with the devil tormented and twisted elves into monsters. I have read it ;)

I get it. Fully. Sarcasm. I guess you did not get it.

So legitimate question: based on what Crawford said are they talking about retconning everything or merely having a variety of worlds where things are different? If they are talking some worlds with more variety for drow and orcs it’s one thing. If they are talking about changing drow overall...

Fine solution really. Tolkien’s orcs were supposed to be monstrous devil spawn essentially. So taking them back to that idea makes plenty of sense: the created spawn of an evil god. We can still have irredeemably evil gods...right? That is their nature? (Surely that does not cross any Line?)

On average they are. And if you so choose, they can be very quick. If someone wants to roll 3d6 in order it would take a lot of characters to show a significant difference. But if I go with elf, I can play with type and be faster than most character assuming point buy or even standard array...
