Absolutely. But the phrasing used is not very inclusive. Clever people can consider it only an unlucky hyperbole. It is important to reduce it in its context. The point is: do the same attention for the context would be applied reversing the color? I'm afraid not.

FALSE FALSE FALSE Plutoniom is alive and kicking, no breaks and very easy to install. Obviously I will not tell here how to, since it is illegal.

I believe that the difference between 5E and 1D&D will be the complete digital transition. I think that the paper will soon be abandoned by WOTC in favour of a subscription type model of businness with microtransaction. I would not be surprised if, in the future, we don't see any more books in...

Don't try to find logic into ideology.

Can I tell you that I really appreciate your efforts to mantain this forum polite, fair and in topic? But you have to admit that is not people pushing politics in forum. Is politics being pushed in game. The current political debate it's really pervasive. Too much for my taste. Some people talk...

Sorry

I suspect that some people has a lot of problems with critical readings. Not those products. I mean it would be sufficient to read things in the context and avoid to use contemporary lens over past works. Doing it, it would be clear what remains bad and what is bad only if it was created now...

It would be sufficient that you, in good faith, do not want to be offensive. Malice is in the eye of the observer and you cannot prevent every interpretation of your text. This is how it was, at least. Before this strange flip in the duty of proof from the accuser to the accused.

It's absolutely for marketing. And the demostration of this is that they cancel on demand, posed that the complain is loud enough, without analize critically if the complain is founded on solid logical accusations. Unfortunately the real content is not in discussion. It could be really offensive...

No. And rightly. The whole "somebody complains so cancel" make no real sense and is logical only in a socialmedia marketing perspective. A good 75% of modern fantasy is reactionary especially the quest-portal fantasy from 60 to 90. Tolkien is a very good example of reactionary. But nobody wants...

I'm not a MOD, but let me say that I believe turning this thread toward definitions is a very immature way of conducting the debate that leads only to flame war. Both sides.

It could be a simple manifestation of how a baby brain works. It could happen in every society in which the numbers are disproportionate. Without other consideration we can address it as a simple demographic distribution conseguence, without talking about politics at all. Why do you suppose...

unless we intend to face a discussion on a very high cultural, semiotic and aesthetic level, we can safely take the affirmation that all art is political for a good synthesis, perhaps a little rough, of a shared concept, namely that the human expression always reflects an ideal tension about how...

Not to polemize, but... usually I'd avoid buying a car full price without engine. :) It seems to me that this approach to the holes in WOTC product can be rubricated as good will, but also as make what is a defect look like as a feature

It's true that every setting is "political" in a way or another but this is plainly obvious and not worth of further discussion IMHO. To be more in topic I believe we must look at those settings that are politic in a way that reflects a contemporary, not widely shared in people and not distilled...

Inconsistent. I agree.

While reading your post I was reflecting: the way Ravenloft has been released, the editorial choices made etc. all make me think that there is a precise and scientific decision to not produce splat book. Confine the lore into marginal aspects of adventures, just to add color and keep the lore at...

But indeed you'll agree that a big part of the renewed success of D&D is due to Critical Role, that is a show and definitely a NARRATION. This to say that aside our personal tastes, a big part of RPG is narration, and to narrate you desperately need good writers. You also need good game designer...

Try to explain better in the long post above.

I cannot speak for everyone nor I pretend to extract general rules from one single post as you try to do. I limit myself to observe that if there's a nostalgia, (term often used to denigrate different taste or preference), is for a way of doing products, not a product or a line of products in...
