D&D 5E Rename the Monster Manual

[Oofta]

Items that only offer pleasure ? - while it might involve Dungeons I’d suspect that kind roleplaying would breach the PG limit

Did you miss my first post? That D&D should be rename D&D to Kittens in Kottages YOLO? KinKY? So BOOP! Goes along with the theme.

I mean, who doesn't get pleasure out undoing knotted rope? Unless your mind is in the gutter it's perfectly good clean fun.

And as a privileged white European middle-aged guy, I am not the best suited to know if the need for changing Monsters Manual's name is an important matter or not

Why do you believe your ethnicity has anything to do with if you can judge this or not, it's your hobby you have as much say as anyone else.

Because the word MANual is obviously a product of the WASPastriearchy

People who...
Put pineapple on pizza,
The toilet roll on the wrong way round,
Change lanes without indicating.

It doesn't stop. We should always try to better the world and fix things.

The debate lies in what is broke and what isn't...

True. There was a list of offensive entries early in this thread and I can honestly say I never once in all the years Ive been playing looked at any on that list as racist. I took it as its a game, not, hey that orc kinda looks like or reminds me of person "X" of race "Y" in my math class. Personally I think debating whether the term "MONSTER" is offensive is just looking for one more thing to change just for the sake of change.

I don't know. Now your calling everyone a beast.

No he said Bestiary... he's calling them all the BEST! They will all be shining examples of their particular species.

Does that mean we also need a Worstiary?

"Manual" isn't really a good term for an alphabetized reference resource. It should be called the Enemy Encyclopedia.

Oh so everything in it is an Enemy now before you've even had a chance at diplomacy? Prejudice much?
