    D&D General (Anecdotal) conversations with Asian gamers on some problems they currently face in the D&D world of RPG gaming

    AFAIK, most RPG writers are paid on either a per-word rate, or a fixed fee for a project.

    D&D General (Anecdotal) conversations with Asian gamers on some problems they currently face in the D&D world of RPG gaming

    True. Samurai is a very specific archetype tied to only one culture, as opposed to (for instance) a knight. However, I should think that using mythological figures shouldn't pose that much of a problem? A lot of games have taken a step back from Tolkienesque dwarves in order to distinguish...

    D&D General (Anecdotal) conversations with Asian gamers on some problems they currently face in the D&D world of RPG gaming

    I don't see why OA should be removed. There are many books that are problematic to our current way of thinking: To Kill a Mockingbird, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Little House on the Prairie, Uncle Tom's Cabin, Heart of Darkness, Peter Pan, the Allan Quatermain novels, ... Most of these are...

    Branimir's Open Letter to Games Workshop

    All right, what I meant by that statement. Concerning BLM: Yes, racism is definitely a major part of the problem. Yes, it is a fact that people of color are more likely to be pulled over than white people (not only in the US). Yes, there is a certain percentage of policemen that is...

    Okay. So I suppose that, if I were to dress as a centurion for a fancy dress party, I can expect criticism from Italians?

    Because it's a kid's movie? Because little girls like to dress up as princesses? Personally, I take bigger issue with the Bactrian camel on the movie poster. Egypt doesn't have Bactrian camels, it has dromedaries.

    Branimir's Open Letter to Games Workshop

    In my opinion, it's more about desensitization. Spark enough of those silly discussions (remember the PETA complaints about Space Wolves wearing fur, and whaling in Assassin's Creed IV), and some people will stop caring about actual problems. Look at COVID, every day more and more people start...

    Branimir's Open Letter to Games Workshop

    Absolutely. To be honest, it's been a while since I was involved in the online GW community. Last I checked, the vitriol was directed to the Primaris Marines. But if the current gripe mostly consists of (as other posters suggested) black Space Marines, then I agree: there is a problem in the GW...

    Branimir's Open Letter to Games Workshop

    I don't disagree with anything of that GW's statement. But as I have said: some people actively try to find social injustice in everything, and call those who oppose them bigoted.

    Branimir's Open Letter to Games Workshop

    But people can disagree with part of a statement, or with a certain method, while still condoning prejudice. I'm not going to derail this thread by bringing the BLM and Oriental Adventures debates into this. Suffice to say that I see these debates a bit differently because I don't live in the...

    Branimir's Open Letter to Games Workshop

    Or he could be part of the moderate majority. Social networks don't give a fair representation of demographics, it's mostly the vocal extremes on both sides of the debate. Real life isn't binary, most discussions have more answers than just a 'yes' and a 'no'. 'You will not be missed' implies...
