My worry is that they will not simply port DS to the new edition w/o making sweeping changes of the kind we've seen to FR. I would not wish to see teifling or dragonborn but rather mul and thrikren as they were originally presented. I would not find a new psionic system desirable. I would not...

Is it "white folks" who own the team and get to name it? all of them? sounds mighty racist to me that you broadbrush it so...maybe examine the ethnic makeup of the team owners, sounds to me more like the wealthy get to name it...are you seriously saying native americans cannot purchase a...

If it were true that naysayers had this elusive power you assign to us there would be no discussion or consideration of the thoroughly bogus concept of cultural appropriation as measurable harm instead of the throng of people insisting we sacrifice figurative virgins to the allegorical volcano...

I would give this same advice regarding anyone who espouses a desire for diversity or equality yet believes "power dynamics" are at all valid.

"That guy" "Those kinds of responses" veiled or implied accusation appeal to consensus Yeah, I had the same classes you did but I made my saving throw.

One correction if I may, ALLOWED is wrong; you can do whatever you wish, granted some will cross the line and give you grief for it, but you should not let that stop you if you really wish to wear the headdress; just be aware that you will be faced with having to vomit forth a forced apology...

Yes, that was EXACTLY my reaction to seeing the instructor teaching us about appropriation wearing a red shirt with a hammer and sickle logo on it while pontificating about how horrible we all are should we dare to purchase or display rastafarian themed clothing or accesories. Wow, just wow.

Heard it all in college, it was faux outrage then and still is now, especially the part where it only applies to "minorities" who are only minorities within the west yet make up a larger portion of the worlds population outside of the west than westerners do. It is simply another "class warfare"...

Thats right, I doubt anyone would call foul if a black DM running the setting portrayed any of the setting inhabitants in a way that would be deemed objectionable if a white person did so, but I suspect you know this already. Not play it, DM it, and the first time a village is portrayed as less...

Oppressed? Because I would hesitate to utilize the product to avoid being slandered as a racist or cultural appropriator if I do not portray the setting to someone's liking? I think you misunderstand the meaning of the word oppressed.

"That nonsense" is likely why it probably won't sell as well as it should, god forbid a poor pale skin such as myself try to run this thing and "appropriate" or "mis-portray" the setting or it's source material in a way that will have a slobbering outrage mob descend upon you.

I fail to see exactly what is "problematic" about it given that love is a somewhat subjective concept that can make a man murder jedi children for fear of losing a loved one, especially in a world where you can disintegrate a rival in a love triangle or polymorph the rogue into a more lovable...

We are the Borg. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

There is a whole lot of "no rules saying" a whole lot of crazy things. There is for example "no rule" saying that copper coins planted in soil and dutifully watered cannot grow into trees which bear as fruit frost giant head sized rubies which imbue their owners with the ability to attack the...

So THATS were they go once I've exiled them...my apologies, kind sir or ma'am, for jettisoning that detris upon thee...
