In the real world, species evolve because an organism's genes were good enough to allow it to breed and pass those genes down. There's...

I think the 2024 DMG does a pretty decent job of setting guidelines. I'm sure we've seen similar before but now there's an entire...

That's the problem when any of us bring up realism, verisimilitude, or plausibility. You get a response that either insists on a strict...

I've seen games that say things like "if you're a bigot, you're not allowed to play this game" (well, the phrasing is a bit saltier, but...

I disagree. If someone is being an asshat, they aren't going to pay attention to the rules of the game. If someone yells at someone...

If this is the basis for a short adventure that's deliberately based around a specific idea, it's fine. If this is intended to be the...

Have we gone this far in the thread without mentioning Paranoia? Alpha Complex is run by Friend Computer, whom we love, because he...
