1e and 2e were considered 'humanocentric' because they allowed humans to do whatever and limited demi-humans. However demi-humans got cool abilities.. This was called balance. That left the house a long time ago. Humans are just the second class citizens of D&D now. I expect either super...

^^^This. Much more succinct than my clumsy attempts.

I just read that... how the hell did I miss that??? lol

While he is indeed a wizard, in the context of his setting he is closer to demi-god...

3d6 in line, 3d6 arrange as you like, 3d6 12 times arrange the highest 6, 3d6 6 times in order, and roll 12 characters keep the one you like were all methods in the DMG (Pg 11, 2 col). As an aside when did 4d6 drop the lowest show in print first. Unearthed Arcana or Oriental Adventures...

Sci-Fi is anything that is fiction outside the 'terrestrial realm??' (Personally I think that means fiction that doesn't have Fabio ripping a shirt off a buxom young woman, or a historical re-write.) Anything in the 'fantastic'... Now whether it's 'hard' sci-fi (follows the laws of Physics...

Okay, I get it. Mia culpa. It wasn't my intent, but I see your POV. I'm old, I sometimes can't see the forest for the trees.

Well, it is a slight breach of etiquette but, under some circumstances it is allowable. 👍

No hard feelings, the argument is somewhat colored because the Security Council didn't sign off but the General Assembly did, that's why they didn't wear the funny blue hats. 🙂

NATO was acting under UN authority. They were there as a peacekeeping force. Again, if the UN authorizes action, THEN they can move as a NATO representative of the UN. Go back and check your sources. I was assigned in support of those operations, just so you know.

You can change that from 'appears to be' to 'is not' the correct thing. NATO is a defenseive agreement and would be at fault if it went on the offensive for a non-member nation. The UN under the auspices of peace keeping can intervene, but the likelyhood is much smaller, the same troops would...

Of course there was cartoons, my point was the overarching artwork moved from the realistic to the garishly ridiculous. Stop focusing on the generality and focus on what was being pointed out. And pointing out the one non-literature reference as 'proof' is just jaded. The overarching...

You, soooooo get me. 😉

Yeah that's so objective, calling Nirvana music. Yeah, I said THAT.

Objectively D&D changed not with video games per se. I would say the first inklings of something in the air was altered was 1992... I started to notice the change in art work from realistic to cartoonish, weapons went from swords to giant meat cleavers hefted over the shoulder. Armor went from...

Re: Nuclear doctrine... Part of the original nuclear program was global thermo nuclear war; meaning everyone was involved. Currently, China and India have decided that this is not the time to get involved, so a nuclear strike would be from Russia/Belarus only. This is considered a European...

That too, or any other substance that would be better used as scenery in a movie rather than actual food.

So, ABC showed actual pictures of protesters inside Moscow. This is, evidently, why Mr. Putin is blacklisting foreign media outlets; He thinks they are poisoning the minds of the youth with Western ideals and fake news. lol

Pics or it didn't happen....

'Chicago style' pizza is just more proof that the people that live on the other end of my state are weird... Proud Illinoisian; NYC hand tossed pie only period
