It's funny how these contradictory statements can both be so true-- and so many people can still manage to simultanously be wrong on both. Personally... I no longer have any real interest in stake or interest in what WotC does with the official D&D brand, but I still have some small lingering...

I'm in the same position on that issue-- I would be afraid that presenting a member of a species, in which there's a two size difference between male and female, as being transgender would be more likely to be interpreted as mockery. Sexual dimorphism isn't an issue I particularly want to...

My point is that it isn't a problem to be solved, it's a problem that needs to be recognized as not a problem and firmly dismissed when it comes up. There are a lot of really neat rules in Tasha's, and I'm 100% behind letting people reassign their lineage ASIs as needed-- because, unfortunately...

Would you support having some lineages-- a very small percentage of the total-- that are highly sex-dimorphic, such that males and females are mechanically different lineages? It would take much, much less dimorphism than occurs in the vast majority of real-life species to necessitate such a...

Honestly, the constant discourse about separating one's biological heritage from their cultural heritage strikes me as misguided-- and it bothers me deeply. It only serves to further dilute the archetypal nature of nonhuman races by introducing more and more convoluted individual lineages and...

We all know what, the problem is nobody knows how.

In Shroompunk, any child nearing adulthood can enchant a basic smartphone in a couple of hours. It's a prerequisite to being allowed to wander past the fenceline, either to play/explore or to hunt and forage. There are no real search algorithms, and artificial intelligence requires some real...

Practically everything humans consider a spice is a plant toxin evolved to keep mammals from eating it. Flavor is poison. Dwarves have poison resistance. Dwarf food is amazing, for a dwarf-- everyone else only thinks it's bland because dwarven hospitality is very serious about not killing your...

We were playing metagurps. When my turn came up, I rolled Biotech, Horror, and Bunnies & Burrows. They offered to let me reroll, but I got my stubborn up-- maybe if any one of those cowards had said they didn't want to play that game, instead of telling me I couldn't make it work... Anyway, two...

Slice of American cheese; ketchup and mustard OR chili and onions; shredded mild cheddar. Or peppers and onions and sauerkraut.

There are really very few foods I don't like. I dislike pepperoni, and olives, and lettuce (some cheeseburger/taco pizzas). Put a couple of toppings I like on the pizza, as a consolation, and I'm fine. I will not eat mushrooms, or anything mushrooms have touched. And there are a handful of...

Yeah. It's really very similar, interchangeable for most uses-- I prefer it on french fries, but prefer tomato for mac & cheese-- and the brand I buy comes in both "regular" and "hot and spicy" varieties. Mainly, though, I use it for making Filipino-style spaghetti: it's your basic meat sauce...

Look, if we're going to pretend that weapon damage dice makes sense, we can really pretend whatever else we want in regards to them.

You know, I can live without my favorite toppings, but if I tell you that a topping is a dealbreaker and you only order pizzas with those toppings on them-- you are telling me to my face that you are not buying pizza for me. Might as well be saying it with a white glove. If I can live with a...

Judging by what adding a little bit-- one part to three or four-- of banana ketchup does to any other tomato-based sauce, I'm imagining that putting a little banana ketchup in the sauce would make a regular pizza amazing. EDIT: I would vote for several of the "shame basement" toppings. Just not...

Heh. Surprisingly, nobody complaining about pineapples... but one of our top results is an absolute dealbreaker. Which is why it's impossible to buy one pizza for more than three people, I suppose.

Hand-tossed, traditional red sauce, mozzarella and asiago cheeses, anchovy, onion, and pineapple-- extra pineapple. Alfredo sauce; mozzarella, asiago, and tons of feta; chicken, spinach, and pineapple. Basically any combination of spinach, pineapple, and feta with one or more meats.

Oh, goody. I am certainly glad we've solved that problem, then.

Call it what it was: according to Gygax, a Lawful Good Paladin was obligated to do this. A Paladin who refused was a coward and fallen from grace. Whenever someone tells you that the alignment system is simple and straightforward, remember that this is what its author considered objective...

It's a natural consequence of official DM advice to lower XP rewards if the players take steps to make the encounter "easier", such as softening them up first or creating environmental disadvatanges for them. After all, what's easier than not fighting at all?
