You know, most won't get this reference and if you don`t, I don´t blame you, but... this thread reminds me on the PalAssassin wars on Planet AD&D shudders.

All I can say is "finally". My "allow all races" FR campaign preparation breaks down once I have to explain away why these races are mostly evil, most of them are really strong but if you want to you can play something else etc. Maybe this can save us from 70 elf subraces or other improvised...

I use all of the big three, but Foundry is VASTLY better than the other two. Fantasy Grounds is constantly sidegrading and inventing new bugs while failing to get a proper user excperience. Roll20 works, but is just... there. Nothing interesting happening. Foundry, though, is constantly...

On the internet, btw, people are claiming this is Hasbro realising that Wotc has become a political entity because SJWs and diversity and stuff and that they are finally purging the company so that common sense can rule again and we don´t get teh gays forced on us in books etc. Lawsuits bring...

I have not a lot to add to this conversation except that we seem to be getter as a hobby. Someone blaming "the SJWs" for this isn`t the first post anymore, so... progress, I guess? Still on the first page, though. Long way to go.

I'm not surprised by anything anymore when it comes to people defending stupid stereotypes. "It's just SJWs trying to destroy tradition", "You hate it, stop destroying it" - I've heard it all, and now it's time to draw a line. If ´´ people insist on continuing to ingest their racist...

A necessary and long-overdue change that really hurts nobody. Sad that people have to die before something like this is implemented. I mean, it's not that everybody has suddenly be going "huch, racism??? in my D&D?" when reading those old modules without something triggering a reaction...

You know, I thought for 10 minutes straight how to react to this post, how to deal with the fact that no one else has called you out. So I'll just say: congratulations. You took one of the most serious topics of these last few weeks and turned it into a drive-by joke. In a D&D thread about being...

This is a slipperly slope - saying "if we start with this, someone else will start to talk about something else". I mean, who cares? Discussion is discussion. Why not have a discussion about solving problems with violence in D&D? Why not talk about depicting madness in RPGs? Raising flags is a...

This was an important, long overdue statement. The state some hobbies are in right now is both disappointing and frightening. Some forums I've visited in the past have turned into hellholes were any gamer or designer who wants to discuss diversity and stereotyping is viciously attacked. I've...

I still remember that parody article in the old Wunderwelten magazine about a former RPG player who gets into Magic once it comes out and sells everything and basically lives just with and for his cards. Also, was there ever a new edition of Everway? Such a novel concept.

Looking at the Armor Class section with all the little tick boxes gave me Rolemaster flashbacks. Or perhaps The Dark Eye with hit locations (yes I know they are not hit locations here). And I would've never thought I could be scared of feats, but here we are. Now I wonder if there are not...

AD&D psionics and later version almost have nothing to do with each other. And thank god. Reading about them in a Dark Sun novel made me exited. Reading about them in a rulebook made me scream.

I'll buy two. And I already own the old campaign settings AND the wayfinders guide.

I though ENworld was a place for discussion, not for drive-by posting. This is a serious problem - marginalizing an ongoing, murderous campaign in such a way. Especially when you know the history of the authors of the book. Blaming it on "outrage" is sad and nonsensical.

There was a guy who got into a D&D game I DMed. A walking cliché. Slightly overweight, a little challenged by personal hygiene, skipped school and proud of it, self-centered, more in love with his character than with the campaign. No problem for me - there was a time where 50% of the roleplayers...

Bringing everything into a hodgepodge meta-setting has been a thing in D&D for a long time. If books stating that everything is connected ruin settings for you, that's not a good long-term prospect, I'm afraid.

No offense to the OP, but threads like these are why I took some time off from talking about D&D on forums. "Abysmally let down"? I would feel like that if the D&D team had held up a sign saying "Dragonlance is coming back" in a low quality webstream and once the real reveal comes we see that it...

If I could get playtest material that was as high quality as what Baker delivered with the Eberron .pdf, I would pay for it every day. That stuff is good! Really good. And it is immediately useable. This is not a kickstarter or an empty promise. It is a fully-featured book

I'm looking forward to the year 2025 when Wizards will put a New Crobuzon setting out for D&D and the Ravnica nerds will be upset that there is still no new hardcover for their oldschool setting.
