I love "old school" style because I never know if my character is gouing to die or become an important person in the world. The uncertainty is the interesting bit, not knowing what will happen.

Right, I'm just going to say it: whatever happens in an RPG is in no way comparable to the nazis, kkk, communists, calvinists or anything like that. Being upset about slavery in a GAME is just looking to be offended. Please stop being so offended about fiction you yourself can ignore.

It seems this thread has long since stopped being about halflings.

Having your workforce get difficult in a business with razor-thin margins means you go bankrupt.

So, Noble Knight is going belly up within a year. Sad to hear it, actually bought stuff from them.

Metallica sucks, but not for this.

Everybody gets to roll 4d6 drop lowest, and if they don't like the rolls they can choose the standard array.

Ok, I'll bite. Why is the term "Mary Sue" in 2022 bad?

Who are the people harassed and why are "cis-het" white men so different from anybody else? Humans are sexual beings and like attractive people, especially in fantasy. If you want the game (or whatever) to be made for children I can understand, but D&D and most roleplaying games are for the 15+...

What does inclusive mean in this case? Sexy dressed men as well? If so I'm totally for it. The current prudishness is very annoying.

I think anything sexual that heterosexual men like is bad and should be banned.

Oatmeal porridge and a glass of water.

CBS is desperate it seems to push its streaming service. So much money wasted on certain shows it seems.

So it could be set in any other milieu, and whatever the players do will not affect the story of the novels in any way. I just don't get games set in worlds where the players do not matter.

But what do you do as a player in Dune the RPG? Play as Fremen #57533?
