You are, of course, right.

Right. The California gold rush is a perfect example of that. The death rate for those pan handlers was absolutely shocking. I've seen estimates around 1 in 12. :boggle: That's INSANELY risky.

I love dungeons. Yes I do. :D Probably the biggest addition you can make to dungeon design is verticality. So many dungeon maps are flat. It doesn't take much to make a dungeon so much more interesting when you add a bit some verticality. One of the best examples of this is from Lost...

((As a total aside, I'm getting replied to by people I cannot see. @Bill91 is not on my ignore list, but, despite him quoting me, I cannot see his posts. Is this a bug?))

And thus, that would be my point. Gnomes and Halflings are so unpopular that despite EVERY OTHER PHB race getting their own book, they had to split one between the two. Sigh. The plural of anecdote is not data. We have survey after survey, D&D Beyond statistics, Baldur's Gate 3 statistics...

The other issue, when you're into a fantasy or SF setting, is there's a lot of ways to get around the idea of MOD. After all, a single ship armed with Von Neuman style constructors drops into a solar system, seeds several asteroids and within X time, there's a fleet and entire supply chain in...

Warhammer Fantasy would like a word...

We'll have to wait and see. 5e has never really embraced anything new school, at least not very much. Endless recycling or re imagining adventures, recycling classes and whatnot. Recycling settings. WotC has not exactly embraced anything new, and understandably so. We are getting the D&D...

That's a point too. Peter Parker, despite the death of Uncle Ben at the beginning, has a very loving home. That's pretty much why he fights. Ms. Marvel is another good example. The Fantastic Four all have very healthy relationships. Superman. Depending on which Green Lantern you want to...

Dude, I have enough trouble remembering what I had for breakfast. Trying to remember who said what to me on this forum two years ago is just not going to happen. :D But, I think I can pretty honestly say that if halflings were the most popular PC race in your group, you experience in D&D is...

That would warm the cockles of my heart. But, the realistic side of me thinks that there just isn't a whole lot of meat on that bone anymore. Forgotten Realms has picked that carcass pretty clean. And, I get the sense that there is some resistance among Greyhawk fans to adding newer material...

I mean, yeah. Look, I know that I have apparently earned a reputation for hating halflings, despite actually playing them, but, I gotta say, there's some serious revisionist history going on here. It's the first time I've ever seen anyone try to claim that halfling PC's are popular. As far...

Again, you are making very strong statements here that are not supported by any actual information. Halflngs, by every single piece of evidence we have, are the bottom choice in the PHB. And they always have been. It's not a mistake that every race in 2e got a full Complete Guide, except...

I don't know why you can so confidently say that. Dragonborn are, by all accounts, a very, very popular choice for tabletop. Yes, the HeHe races get top billing as always, but, considering Dragonborn and Tieflings are such late comers to the table, it's impressive that they get played as much...
