I'm out. naughty word WotC. Enough of the revisionist history woke left naughty word.

Maybe because for previous charity drives, people were able to confirm that the charity they thought they were donating to was the one that actually received the money? The other two bundles (NAACP LDF and NPAP) aren't in question. The description of the BLM Foundation in the bundle doesn't...

Doesn't change my question - which BLM are these donations going to? Donators need to know if their money is going where they think it is going. The NAACP LDF and NPAP charities are straightforward - there is only one of each of them.

But is portraying orcs differently because there is a different evil race in Eberron? Because that is almost always the case in any fantasy - there has to be some type of existential threat to the protagonists. I would look to the portrayal of hobgoblins in Kingdoms of Kalamar because it is...

Raisins aren't technically fruit anymore, seeing as how they're undead...

The issue isn't the perception of injustice or not. The issue is the real-world problem of being impossible to separate objective injustice from moral relativism that forms the basis of opinion for authors writing books, screenplays, whatever. This is especially difficult in the case of D&D...

So - I have to ask. The description on DriveThruRPG states "Black Lives Matter was founded in 2013 in response to the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer. Black Lives Matter Foundation, Inc is a global organization in the US, UK, and Canada, whose missi... " This is patently false. Black...

If it feels like a scam, it probably is. Trust your gut instinct. The best thing to do is to try and find local charities and donate to them. Usually, but not always, the money stays closer to home and actually gets to where you intended to go. Always check what they actually do with...

When it comes to different cosmologies, I ascribe to the "there is really only one cosmology - these are different descriptions of the same thing seen through the lens of a different frame of reference.". That is, people can do the equivalent of a mathematical transform to go between each of the...

The reason for the crossovers served a purpose at the time. When d20 came out, it should have been easy to hop across worlds. In fact, I've done a D&D/Spycraft 1e crossover. 5e should make it easy as well. It seems that it was easier to do the crossovers back then when the different settings...

There is so much that is wrong with this thread - and it feels so right... Other than Planescape which I feel was a terrible way to open up the planes to high level adventures (if you have to be high level to travel there, why can the local version in Sigil not have to be?), the ability to...

This. I liked the expansion of the information on the planes via Planescape, but all of the "we're just like the primes but only we're here and in factions" was ridiculous. And I hated the Planescape artwork. Sorry not sorry.

See - that's where I'd move hardbacks to stack them flat on top of the row of books to make room for boxed sets.

If you have the means, I highly recommend getting the old FR Interactive Atlas and its updates (some of the maps in Update 3 actually break the maps and need to be backed out). Available on Ebay, used for like $150. Its ugly, and many of the smaller maps linked into it need the original...

None of the above. If you are doing a big adventure book like Curse of Strahd, it should be something that can be used in any campaign setting, since WotC isn't fully supporting any of their legacy or current campaign settings. How about an adventure where terrain or environment is more...
