Where you have arguably the first wotc adventure product that is geared towards roleplayers over adventure gamers (discouraging combat encounters), combined with the fact that "edition wars" or just discussions (arguments) over how to play the game have begun to become too interwoven with...

oh! there's going to be a new streamed D&D game! me- :sleep: 💤

"Dont suggest the game is about dressing up in costume and acting out the fantasy" every current d&d podcast - "hold my beer..."

Not really feeling these franchises as an rpg, both of them could are overdue for a good videogame however, something on par with SW battlefront would be awesome

Kids these days are into Fortnite. Good luck getting them to bash action figures together. The stated demographic for Netflix Masters of the Universe was guys over 40, if that tells you anything. Of course they tried to gain a new kind of audience with that show... oops

orcs, goblins, and the like are inspired by folklore that essentially viewed such things as evil spirits that inhabited the wilds. Tolkiens middle earth was also influenced by his Anglican worldview that included moral absolutes as good and evil and that free thinking entities can be wholly...

Disparaging a persons views is very different from stating I disagree and why. That is all. That is very well put and it is probably fair to say that "drow have dark skin = racist" is an over simplification of this premise.

If we are acting in good faith, please dont put words in my mouth. I never said anything is asinine. I could go through this thread and quote many posts where they said the dark skin color of the drow and orcs perpetuates/is influenced by stereotypes and is therefore racist, but Im not going...

To expand on your last analogy, when the shooter stands trial for this crime the prosecution will certainly try to establish intent if it is evident to be there, and the sentencing will be affected by the outcome. The intentional and the accidental shooter both had the same outcome yet the...

This is a consequentialist definition of racism. While I agree that the discussion of how various groups are affected by media tropes and the like is an important one as well, I have a problem with the use of the word racist as a blank slate equal definition to all actors involved. If one is...

"sometimes a snake is just a snake" If one is going to make the assertion that drow or orcs are a racist stereotype, you will have to show me more than " drow have dark skin = racist" More than anything else, you will have to show me INTENT, that the people behind these creations meant to...

...may be the most encouraging thing I have heard about the upcoming movie so far

They have definitely taken the game to a much bigger audience, and are helping WOTC make tons of money, but for me, the game was doing fine with out them. They have made a specific type of dnd experience popular- which is basically sedentary cosplay, and their fans are joining gaming groups...

having switched from 5th ed to OSR, im definitely appreciating working with 25 page booklets that cover 3 or 4 levels of play that can be inserted into any campaign, as opposed to the wotc books that cover 10 to 15 levels of play. I wonder if the format may be part of the reason dms prefer to...

what im really getting at are players that are really armchair quarterbacks, not actually quarterbacks. Players that dont actually want to run, but think they do. At first these players are just happy to have found a game, then they gradually start complaining about various things (nothing...

This is how I recently described how alignment is used to a new group - " If your not sure what alignment to pick, ask yourself if your character prefers order (law) or freedom (chaos), or balance (neutral). Then your willingness to harm others determines where you are as far as good and evil...

Its interesting that the poll results, as of this time, do not support the premise that gms are hard to find, but in fact indicate that most players actually prefer to run a game themselves (myself included). Epiphany time: most of the players at your table actually want to run the game...

At least we know for sure it is a Forgotten Realms film (maybe we already knew that, I did not) If they can show respect for the rich history of the Realms and show a world that feels lived in, it could be great.
