Unpopular opinions go here

1. The alignment system is good
2. The D&D “culture wars” are kind of pathetic and show symptoms of terminally online syndrome.
3. AD&D Second Edition is better than people remember.

Right 2 out of 3 times.

It wasnt somehow, it was a targeted attack. Thats all I'll say.

Just realized, I may have misunderstood your comment.

I was saying that the transmogrification of gluten into a dietary villain was due to profound confusion about why some people have issues with gluten. And that MSG!s situation was similar.

Like gluten, MSG is generally safe for most people to consume. But there’s a few people for whom it causes relatively minor health issues. In most cases, the afflictions are temporary.

How does your body react to MSG?

Monosodium glutamate (MSG) can trigger headaches and other symptoms in some people.

Were you implying that MSG’s scapegoating was deliberate?

What does resting the shells mean?

Roll the dough. Put it in a pan, let it sit (rest) > 1 hour. Pull out, dress and bake.
It gives whatever besides ethanol the yeast is expelling time to evaporate. Something in that digestive byproduct is what triggers the migraine.

Except at Moose's Tooth - they put sun-dried tomato in, and sun-dried doesn't eliminate whatever is in the skins and meat of fresh tomatoes that triggers my migraines... but pickling does destroy it. (Yay? I can has catsup? Meh. But BBQ sauce? I can has BBQ sause!) Or at least, they used to.

Yes, the allergy effect is true, but it was made out to be a threat to the public at large to target Asian restaurants.

In America, the consumption of sushi is often looked down upon because we've been taught that "raw fish" is unhealthy and dangerous. The risks of eating sushi are greatly overstated because...well, let's just say that sushi has a lot of things in common with Monosodium Glutamate in our culture.

I mentioned once that threads like this tend to accumulate more popular opinions than unpopular and considered the point stated. However, I just want to touch on this one. Consuming sushi was exotic in the 80s and lots of people were squeamish about it in the 90s and into the oughts. But now, in America, you can get sushi in rural gas stations in outstate Wyoming*. It's mainstream. *or pick your own 'far from LA/NY and the coasts' example.

None of this says anything regarding our(US) aversion to raw animal products*, and boy-howdy there's a lot to say about America's ability to 1) jump on questionable dietary trends and 2) jump on scapegoating of other cultures. *although I think 'that guy' in everyone's friend group that keeps brining it up often glosses over a bunch of the nuance.

Okay. I've never heard anyone refer to a pizza crust as a shell before. That was the source of my confusion.

I expect to be banned for this one, but I stand by it.

Conflict is not inevitable between narrative, simulation, and game. In fact, most functional play involves all three of story, exploration, and mastery; with players leaning into those more as audience and more as author at different moments during each session.

You don't need your own web store for the PDF for your successful kickstarter. Just deliver it via DTRPG like everyone else. I don't need 19 places to have to hunt down PDFs I purchased.

Yep. It's already enough of a hassle trying to remember who used Backerkit, who Pledgebox, etc.

Dave Arneson did not invent D&D. He just adapted Dave Wesely's Braunstein games to a dungeon crawl and then ran a session for Gary Gygax.
