Lazy? No. Limited and narrow? Probably, but I dont want to be making uncharitable assumptions.

No, you've said the removal of one option, is too limiting. Which is...something.

lol no. You should just walk if you don't like the options. It's not complicated.

-- I could tell you, but the answer is already there.

No, I'm not going to claim its unfair, but I am going to state thats not how this works. That said. "We are playing Dragonlance, there is no Orc option for players, as there are no Orcs, and there are no Halflings, there are Kender." One less player option, one less monster option. Cool?

Not really. My point is that if I drop Goblin (from Shadowdark) or Dragonborn (from D&D) and add nothing, that is not some catastrophic removal of player options, that is not the DM 'forcing players to play a specific PC'. There are still hundreds if not thousands of possible combinations. If...

Ignore is the wise option! In other news, the financial market in the US does not seem to have collapsed, but there sure seems to have been some weird things going on around Silver still.

Again, just because it may be the ideal foundation (it is) does not mean its not possible to add to it when/if appropriate. I've got 4 extra Ancestry options, 5 different Classes, and there are over 10 official additional Class options as well. That also does not mean every single option...

Granted, its near impossible for me to follow discussions now but I dont believe anyone has said anything close to this. Nobody is being forced to play a DM designed character and it is the same kind of goal post shifting, strawman hyperbole like 'oh you banned a single species? whats next, no...

No, the discussion was around a few, or even ANY kind of restriction that could somehow make it so players seemingly have no options, despite hundreds if not thousands of combinations still being available. The goalpost shifting and strawmaning is out of control.

Which are...none of the D&D settings?

Shadowdark.

Considering the vast majority of supposed 'new fans' have little to no exposure to those other settings, this seems nonsensical. Unless the only way D&D is D&D is if its a kitchen sink, which is...ok I guess, but a bit of a narrow and limited view.

So how did we do?! Goal 1: Ignore the fools? Pretty well done here. Goal 2: Smash the gym? Very much accomplished. 25lbs gained over the year, strength increases in big ways, and overall shape improved. Goal 3: Shadowdark writing? Did a bit, had some art commissioned and finished a few...

Yes. Thats been clear since the beginning.
