I agree. Those Somalis probably don't give a rat's behind if country music vanishes from the planet. On an individual level, it's an individual decision.

On a macro level, yes. It's all important. On a micro level, not so much. I doubt you'll find many people in Somalia who care about roleplaying games.

I also answered that in previous posts. Play is not like eating a meal, because a meal that is cooked is exactly one way and that's railroading, not play. Group play is like cooking the ingredients where the PCs are one of the ingredients, as is all the DM prep. DM prep is solo play where the...

No. I have no idea where that came from as it has nothing to do with what I said.

"The oldest known, well-documented fruitcake is over 145 years old, baked in 1878 by Fidelia Ford in Berkey, Ohio. Currently kept by descendants in Tecumseh, Michigan, this family heirloom was never eaten because Fidelia passed away shortly after baking it." Not all food goes bad quickly. :p

I've not only heard many chefs say that they do this, but I, my wife, and just about everyone I know also do this. That is that we go to the fridge and look to see what is in it, including leftovers, and grab some stuff to cook with. We didn't have anything specific in mind when we started.

That would have been even better if you had said the nanobots were going to re-write your PHB. :p

Is there any entertainment media that is important to the bulk of humanity?

Is there a legal way to do this that doesn't involve keeping a phone forever in order to read it in tiny print? "But your honor, it was only $100 that I took from a house I broke into. It's not like I robbed a bank!" What they should have done is have downloadable digital content along with a...

@SlyFlourish wasn't talking about your home game. He was talking about the digital content itself. You have no ability to dictate what gets kept or doesn't get kept in the digital content you purchased on DDB. Only WotC does, and they could change it to, "Neener neener!" tomorrow if they...

I strongly disagree with that, because that implies that I'm forcing them to eat the food that I've prepared. I'm not. I don't cook the food and then railroad them into eating what I've made by putting it on the table in front of them. The food that is created and eaten is a collaboration...

You're right. fabricating is akin to rule design. Putting the ingredients together is like taking salt(some monsters from a D&D book), some garlic(drawing the dungeon map), some onion(traps), etc. and mixing them together and letting them simmer a bit(finishing the final dungeon), and then...

Great counter argument!

They did it in 2009 with PDFs, and tried again just a year or two ago when 5.5e came out. They announced that they were going to eliminate 5e stuff paid for on DDB, but the backlash was huge and they had to walk it back and allow legacy stuff.

First, I didn't say they should stop inclusion. I said that artwork/minis of women have succeeded and yet more of it doesn't add more inclusion at this point. Second, I even suggested a way that they COULD increase inclusion, so clearly I wasn't suggesting that they should stop working on it...
