On the flip side, one thing to remember is that not all DMs have perfect hearing or sensory processing, and that paying attention to multiple conversations in multiple directions might well be beyond them. Tricky voice stuff and multiple conversations can cause significant problems for the DM...

I remember telling Polack jokes for a couple of years as a kit without even realizing that was a term for a particular race/nationality. Jokes about trans people were really bad looking back on it - even back in the 80s, people would get the joke "How does every racist joke start" "OK, how?"...

If they had just taken a positive track, they could have done what another poster mentioned is called 'white-labeling' and just offered to let game designers sell their game under their label for a fee or cut of profits. The Gygax and TSR names could work for that, both sides would come out...

The decision to make 'getting an odd result' just bad is going to interact in odd ways with some mechanics. Someone with a bardic inspiration die might well spend it just for a 50/50 chance at not getting stuck with the 'odd results are bad' penalty. Rogues high enough level for reliable talent...

You seem to be missing the context of my comment - the "this" that Rob referred to originally and that I was discussing when I said I didn't see why WotC would need to respond to "this" said nothing about Star Frontiers, just that there was a coordinated effort from WotC to defame Gary, Ernie...

Why would WotC be forced to respond to this? It's some old guy shouting at clouds, and making legal threats will just bring more attention to it and make WotC look like they have something to hide. My prediction is still that WotC will respond if/when TSR3 actually messes with IP that they care...

I agree, if they threaten any of WOTCs copyrights (by using them or claiming to own them) WOTC will step in, but them using a trademark WOTC abandoned isn't going to get WOTC attention. The cost of maintaining a registered trademark is trivial compared to the billion dollars a year D&D brings...

Or War Caster, which allows casting a spell like hold person on an opportunity attack. Fun fact: a level 4 moon druid can wildshape into a giant octopus, which has a grapple+restrain on attack and a 10' reach. With the mobile feat and a cast of longstrider, said octopus can hold it's breath and...

I wonder if anyone over in TSR(3) land knows what a business analysis of a market is, and why you would want to do one. From what I've seen of TSR(3)'s business practice, you're more of a businessman than any of that crowd. Also I like that TSR(3) makes me think of the number TREE(3), because...

A giant casually striding over what was supposed to be an obstacle, an imperial walker jumping over the dangerous area, or a hero making a mighty jump without breaking a sweat all look fine to me. Deciding that they must do something you think is silly looking is your decision, it's certainly...

Doesn't work. Giant 2 comes adjacent to Giant1, uses his action to grapple Giant1 (who chooses not to resist), then uses his remaining movement to drag Giant1 somewhere at half rate, which uses up Giant2's action and remaining movement, but the 10' of dragging doesn't actually get Giant1 or...

Also, if you want an example of a martial character messing with the movement of enemies through tight corridors, a fighter-type with Polearm Mastery and Sentinel can shut down enemies much more effectively - an op attack as they enter his reach will drop the first giant to zero movement, and...

You just jump over the grease effect if it's in your optimal path. If someone does the readied spell thing to catch the first 'giant', then that giant slips and falls blocking the hall... then uses it's action to dash, which lets it stand up and move 3 squares out of the way and clears the...

No, he is a rich straight white guy who thought that this was still the good ol' 1980s when you could target trans people for mean-spirited jokes and still be popular. The bullying that CONTINUES TODAY is him attempting to bully trans people, and trying to claim that he's the oppressed minority...

This makes no sense art all, because cancellation is "I'm not going to buy from this dude or go to any events that treat what he does as ok, and I'm going to tell purple why". It very much is wallets speaking, and trying to pretend that "cancellation" is some big bogeyman doesn't work. If...

I'm just going to focus on this part, because you keep missing the point. I haven't disagreed with either 3 or 4. What I've pointed out is that IN ADDITION TO THAT, blocking terrain or an enemy on the other side of grease can't be walked into. So if the grease can't be jumped across, it ALSO...

At no point did I talk about jumping over obstructions, I talked about jumping over the grease effect itself and possibly a prone creature, which is generally less than 5' tall, especially if you're house ruling them to only large size instead of giant. Again, the problem with the obstructions...

I did not, but perhaps you're not familiar with the construct 'and/or'. It doesn't mean 'and', it means that for some it's an 'and', and for others it's 'or'. It is clearly not a claim that 'Ernie Gygax wants trans people dead,' and you're ignoring a lot of context and clarifications that I've...

The false claim you're making here is a bit of a stretch, yes. And 'it just seemed to me' followed by something that wasn't said is a pretty standard tactic in this sort of thing. People are responding to his comments in this thread. He's not being dragged in, he chose to join in himself.

I don't understand what the '4 tanks' are doing here, and especially why tank 1 just stands in the way of his friends. Why doesn't he either attack from prone (so not blocking a jumper) if he's next to a target, or stand up and then dash towards wherever he was going in the first place so that...
