    Gaming Style Assumptions That Don't Make Sense

    Well, I'd say that jives pretty well with an Old Testament understanding of religion as well.

    Gaming Style Assumptions That Don't Make Sense

    That's an interesting thought, but as someone who sometimes runs a Greek mythology conversion of D&D, what are some ways you might try to gently educate your players? Is it as simple as, say, this ship is going to sink if we don't figure out what Poseidon is so pissed off about and appease him?

    Cultural Appropriation in role-playing games (draft)

    Of course the suffragettes were right to demand the vote. Please. Here are your sources: http://www.npr.org/2011/07/13/137681070/for-stanton-all-women-were-not-created-equal http://manchesterhistorian.com/2014/the-suffragette-split/ http://the-toast.net/tag/suffragettes/

    Cultural Appropriation in role-playing games (draft)

    First of all, I'm not on anyone's team, so "Republicans do it, too" is a non sequitur. It's even more so since you're talking about party affiliation instead of political philosophy when the parties have criss-crossed on that several times in the country's history. In my lifetime I have watched...

    Nor am I characterizing you as such, and in fact many who would also call themselves liberal Democrats are starting to have serious problems with the SJW mentality. Examples...

    A World Builder's Category?

    Is there a category for homebrew, world building or RPG-crafting? Should that go under the Industry category perhaps?

    Cultural Appropriation in role-playing games (draft)

    One of the reasons I'm a fan of Ruby Payne why I believe her program works time and time again is it acknowledges the hidden rules of economic class and how it is most often that - and not education, skill or experience - that keeps people locked in their current economic class. Her programs...

    D&D 5E Char Ops forums: Something I wish hadn't come over.

    Again, I disagree. The real problem is one person wants to build a boat and the other person wants to build a statue. Finding a middle ground can only get you so far. Eventually you just have to say "We're not building the same thing here. Let's part ways."

    D&D 5E Char Ops forums: Something I wish hadn't come over.

    The thing is that I respect the right of extremists to be extremists. There's more than just preference involved here; there's an inherent point-of-view of what constitutes a fun play style. If you really only get fun out of a Gamist atmosphere, I don't fault you for only wanting to game in that...

    D&D 5E Char Ops forums: Something I wish hadn't come over.

    Years ago I joined a dodgeball league at the Jewish Community Center. I sucked, but it was a good time and I even occasionally hit someone. It was a blast, and even though I couldn't understand going to a bar after a ton of cardiac exertion, I drank water and enjoyed the socializing. But where...

    D&D 5E Char Ops forums: Something I wish hadn't come over.

    He's also a jerk if he insists his way is better and he can't even understand why the other people play the way they do, because why would you stat your character differently than what you want him to be like IC. And I don't see the primary issue being that he can overshadow the other players...

    D&D 5E Char Ops forums: Something I wish hadn't come over.

    There's a curious juxtaposition between this thread and the Cultural Appropriation thread in that both are talking about movements that started with a subculture asserting its right to exist but morphed into that same subculture coming to the conclusion "Not only are we not a problem... YOU'RE...

    I think he might be referring to those armed soldiers with the "S" arm patches.
