    Worlds of Design: The Warship Trinity

    That’s lovely for you, but this thread is about spaceships. Thus far you’ve only made a cryptic comment about software, a terse assertion that that’s somehow relevant here, and then this anecdote about becoming a librarian. I’m choosing to ignore the fact that you seem to using an allegory to...

    Am I trippin? How is this related to the topic? Is this comment appearing here by accident?

    Worlds of Design: The Hierarchy of Authenticity

    Your description of the scene and quote is a little bit off. For anybody who hasn’t seen this film, Tuco (“The Ugly” per the movie’s title) is taking a bath in an abandoned building, but knows he’s being followed. So he behaves deliberately unstealthily to bait the would-be assassin (a minor...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    If cultural sensitivity is a primary concern, then we should also be aware of the trap of homogenizing cultural representation into monolithic continents or ethnicities. Asian cultures are obviously not interchangeable, so having “an Asian person” on the team logically shouldn’t assuage your...

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Certainly a subtle hint toward D&D’s focus: combat. Maybe WotC has decided to stop pretending that other parts of the game matter?? EDIT: Full sarcasm. But I definitely agree with you.

    New Unearthed Arcana Brings Back Five Subclasses

    Man, you literally brought up the topic of Chinese cultural consultants and suggested that WotC should be careful with this concept. I quoted you in my original reply. You even used the phrase “I’m not saying it’s racist, but…” Anyway, I made my point originally, not much to add. I’m not super...
