But isn't that tweet from a game designer saying the exact thing you think you are refuting?

I was collecting at the time and there was definitely discussion in the letters/forum in issues after that. At the time I was horny AF straight 14-year old boy in a world less saturated with porn than our current one, so I loved it, of course. But while I personally have no issue with it, I...

Last night we finally got to play again (after an extra week delay). The party chose to risk a short rest and successfully did so, but I rolled an encounter right at the end. So they emerged from the room they had hid in to find a monstrous swarm of rats and a few other giants rats eating some...

Which is as it should be - just like when you play a male character - and if someone wanted to play a different hair-having species that is female and have a beard, they can too!

Whenever this topic comes up there is always at least one poster that says something like “women don’t want to play characters with beards.” But literally every woman who has played a dwarf in a game I was involved with was really into their beard. Which is not to say those posters’...

That's cool! My issue with this kind of table is that I usually set up as DM on a long side of the table, leaving the ends and the opposite side for players. That way I can more easily reach the center of the table for moving minis, drawing on the wet erase mat, and setting up terrain all along...

Answering questions no one has asked me: Do I paint beards onto my female dwarven minis? Yes. Do I wish that more female dwarven minis were sculpted with beards? Yes. Have I ever found any (that were not custom)? Yes, on Etsy. Have I ordered them? Not yet, I am on a self-imposed...

I vote yes, but I think of that kind of categorization as the application of mortal understanding to an ultimately unknowable divine mystery. So while I have a list of "The 13 Gods" I also have these notes Note that it says "destructive religious movements and customs," so it is not...

Edit to add: I modified this from other sources + my own ideas, but primarily from material @mearls has posted on his discord/patreon. In case anyone cares, this is the way I handle it (quoted from the Character Creation chapter of my homebrew ruleset, which is a short version of stuff about...

Had to euthanize my beloved cat, Francie today. She would have been 16 next month. This has been a hell of a week, man. 😿

Definitely a possibility (happened to a character back in my college days that players still talk about today) but changing the rules so it’s easier to not be eaten is less fun not more.

For 3 bucks, I couldn't resist giving it a shot! Thanks.

Yep. But I definitely don't see it that way. Thanks for the clarification.

I think my approach to D&D is pretty well summed up by the "Shadowlands" episode of Bluey.
