    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    It’s always been a diverse an inclusive hobby. I was gaming with diverse people of various backgrounds from the beginning. It has been a strength of the community. I do not support intolerant people but I also see purposeful division because it seems advantageous for certain groups.

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Well, not a good idea to drive people apart either. Personally, I play D&D to escape the grind of the real world. You can market the game and be inclusive and do it inclusively. The marketing concept that hate-watching is still watching is exhausting and manipulative. I do not think that was...

    D&D General D&D Red Box: Who Is The Warrior?

    Ok, I do not care what gender or species the art is tied too. It is a non-issue to me. However, the folks who grew up with the red box tended to be the first geeks who were hounded for being different, bullied in school, and called devil worshippers. Heck, my wife, in 2002, grew up being told...

    AD&D 2E Do you consider the Handbooks canon?

    Honestly, the fact that a lot of modern players argue that anything released by WOTC should be allowed in any campaign is what I find out. We had a huge argument weeks ago where players said that restricting any official content was wrong. The core of the game was always meant to be modular and...

    AD&D 2E Do you consider the Handbooks canon?

    I continue to consult these books to this day. I have them in PDF and I mine them for ideas on classes etc that I incorporate into 5e.

    AD&D 2E Do you consider the Handbooks canon?

    This. If 5.5 had cleaned up the rules issues and added masteries etc as optional systems, then I would have been happy. 2e really allowed you do customize each campaign.

    AD&D 2E Do you consider the Handbooks canon?

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    I would do 100 years or more past RoS with a galaxy divided into various factions and a new Jedi/ new Sith Cold War.

    To be fair, the New Republic did become a cesspool in the EU.

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    I love Star Wars. I will wait for reviews and maybe see it 3rd week. My expectations could not be lower. I have zero faith in Disney Star Wars.

    Wizards of the Coast launches official Dungeons & Dragons Actual Play show

    I do not do concerts either. I can do sports if a group activity and I loved to play before my body started falling apart. It may be an odd hang up but the one I watched put me to sleep and I am a fan of Deborah Ann Woll.
