Is it a major issue? Seems more like 3-4 people complaining about it in an internet forum.
It's literally the thing you're saying it's harder than. THAC0 is a DC.1) You are the third person to try to explain THAC0 as if it were easy in a third entirely different way and it still doesn't sound as simple as roll plus bonus, compare to DC.
I think this thread is mostly about laughing at those 3-4 people.Is it a major issue? Seems more like 3-4 people complaining about it in an internet forum.
In what way is this a major issue? If literally anyone is concerned by something is it a major issue or is the threshold a dozen people, I have seen more outrage for almost every other tiny aspect of D&D than this, maybe I am missing it....
And, here we are, ten years later, and a teeny, tiny joke, a bit of a send up that's not even really mean spirited, becomes a major issue.
Sorry folks, but, if this joke gets your back up, perhaps a little self assessment might be in order. Why does this joke bother you?
What type of Bozo would think Thaco is a great name for a clown. Homey don't play this stuff. Before I get the Ball rolling to turn the creators into a Red Skeleton, soupy their sales, do a Ceasar on their backs, bean them over their heads and break the Pinkys of their kids, this does not get them any Chuckles, i think their humor is kind of Krusty but I do Carebell about a nice easter egg.WotC has a new NPC in it's latest book, Witchlight.
Thaco the CN retired clown who doesn't want people touching his stuff and hates kids.
Very subtle. Like a brick through a window.
I mean, I LOVED the first season of Stranger Things, but the "mouth breather" thing made me a bit uncomfortable, because I know people who were mercilessly mocked for that exact thing (they had serious sinus problems). Doesn't mean I didn't love the show or that it's a "major issue", just not something I really enjoyed.
Yeah I had a severely deviated septum for most of my life. That was just a poorly considered way for the kids to mock the bullies.
I've never been persecuted for mouth breathing though.
I haven't had to fear being murdered, beaten, or sexually assaulted.
I haven't needed to worry about how I was going to feed and shelter myself, etc.
People complain about people being offended by things and having thin skin when those jokes and remarks are literally life threatening.
And then turn around and say they are being oppressed because a clown in a story references an old game.
The privilege on display is just remarkable.
I can't imagine being upset about this, but also can't imagine finding it funny.
