I feel that it is a bad Dragon Age game. It was not a bad game overall, especially if you like Good of War-style combat, but I found it boring. The combat was just the same grind over and over again and there was no meaningful choices or player agency to the game. You could not even interact...

The High Republic period, which I have largely ignored, began 1000 years before the Battle of Yavin when the Republic and Jedi ended the Sith Empire and the Jedi agreed to become the Republic's peacekeepers. It would not have been thousands of years and Maz is old enough to have witnessed it...

Old Republic. This means the period where the Old Republic was at constant war with the Sith Empire. I can see them hiding worlds during this period and the Sith destroying them.

Saga Edition and d20 Modern are the ones I would instantly purchase.

I vote that @Steampunkette create a Dark Sun Hopepunk group where the players agree to alpha and beta test her ideas for the good of the community and a future published material. In no way would I want to be the first person to throw my hat in the ring as a potential player...;):D

Drow=cow. I do not use Drow/dark elves in my games. I took the concept of Winter Elves from Tad Williams Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn series and developed my own backstory and mythos. In my current campaign world, you have the Winter Elves and Summer Elves along with Moon Elves and Wood Elves...

It felt Witcher in tone, but I agree with you. I played 2&3 and loved the games but I am not a massive Witcher fan so I just do not have a dog in the fight. I hope it is a quality game but I have been so disappointed with most games lately that I cannot get excited anymore. The last game I...

The Founder's code went out yesterday to get the special edition RPG book with a March/April release date.

I guess we need a HopePunk setting.

Sadly, I am not sure that will happen until we get to a post-scarcity existence and even then...

No child should be blamed for the errors of previous generations. I am sorry you had that experience. I never even heard about the states rights arguments until college. we were only taught that the Civil War was about the protection of slavery and that the US fought the war to end it. Of...

Agreed. The vast majority of human history and civilization was evil. I am sure that the people did not think they were evil or accepting of it. To be fair, the vast majority of humanity never achieved their human potential because their societies and technology never allowed them too. This is...

Ouch. I also grew up in the South. I had family in SC but grew up on the coast of NC right between two major military bases. I never saw these attitudes. We were always taught that the Union was morally superior etc. Maybe my region was more moderate than others due to the presence of the...

There were never good parts of slavery starting from the time when warring tribes enslaved their enemies. Slavery disrupts and ends a person's ability to achieve their human potential. I am not sure I have ever seen people talk about the "good" parts of slavery. If it appears in my games, it...

Not that I have encountered. Then again, a lot of us have always lived in fear of being labeled and treated differently for the things we love, at least, that is true of my generation.

I think if the online reaction is torches and pitchforks or tar and feathers and you are getting death threats, phone calls to your family and employer, then you have an overreaction.

This is true. We undergo weekly sensitivity language training in my job where someone discusses problematic words and phrases. For example, I am now a person with diabetes rather than a diabetic. I still call myself a diabetic because it is shorter and quicker, but we cannot publish diabetic...

I’d be up for it. My main style of game always has the PCs bringing light to a dark world and this is exactly how’d want a new Dark Sun setting. I did the same with Midnight back in the day.

I am not friends with jerks either. I believe everyone has the right to be treated with dignity and respect. I disagree about how a lot of folks use the if you disagree statements. I think people should talk to each other rather than shadows on a wall. Of course, I do not talk to folks much...

I hope it was my sneakers they were staring at. I had no intention of role playing the Succubus’ Den of Devices (names changed to avoid nausea.)
