Genuine question; why use Google Meet with its restrictions when you could also use Discord for something like that? Is it because of advantages of Google Meet or because there's aspects of Discord you dislike?

... did you just split the hairs between white supremacists and Neo Nazis? That venn diagram is practically a circle???

They're not going to get rid of the paywall because the failure of ad reliant media companies and their inability to pay staff is exactly why Linda Codega - one of the founders - was laid off. It also leads to problems in journalism in general. I for one hope the project succeeds so that more...

Is it appropriate to ask why this is one of your rules? Oddly specific o_o ---- I have not done major vetting yet due to the people I'm playing with being primarily friends or people from a trusted community. If I were to vet, it'd primarily along the lines of: 1. What type of games do you...

Neurodiverse gamers are extremely common and a large part of the hobby but I'd be surprised if we were the majority. That would need a lot of backing up. I wouldn't even assume that neurodiverse gamers are a majority on forums, to say anything else about online spaces in general. I definitely...

I wonder how population growth factors into it all as well as conditions. I will not get too political here, but I think we have to acknowledge that - at-last in the West - there's been a huge housing crisis for at-least a decade in so many places; and this has lead to birthrate decline. While...

That is fair. This is why it's good to have these conversations and dig deeper, as I understand your viewpoint ad think you did do a good thing. I think I would be safe at a table you are at. It's overall complex. Tricky. Nuance is required and working with people. But I think a lot of folks...

The thing is, having a bigot around when you are the target of bigotry is hazardous (especially if you fall into multiple categories of minority - one type of bigotry tends to be co-morbid with other forms of bigotry). There's pretty much zero reason for me to be at a table that has...

To add onto 'golems are getting redone': Golems are being renamed bastions (probably to get away with the association of the Jewish legend of the golem; I am going to call them bastions for the rest of this post) and instead of being immune to magic, they will now have damage reduction to magic...

I am somewhat interested in having the PDF of this because it is nice to read through these books in the order they appear in rather than using an encounter builder. It gives you a much different feel and understanding of the creatures and how they appear. It can be much more interesting and...

I hope I am not crossing a line, and I know you know why this is the case, but for the sake of people who don't: Racists, homophobes and transphobes, misygonists, bigots of all stripes etc. absolutely want to see reporting and journalism on cases like this to be seen as political hitjobs. They...

Where's your sources? Here's mine on Paizo stating that it was a mistake - said day 1 errata: Pages 411: The text for the wounded condition was changed for consistency, but became consistent with the wrong piece of text. This would lead to much deadlier encounters! The following changes should...

... that's your interpretation of what happened. The Core Rulebook over 4 revisions have the current rules. The Gamemastery Screen disagreed, but never had any errata. It is true that the preview of Player Core had a rule that matched what was in the Gamemastery Screen, but before release...

I'm unsure whether to get this one physically or not (or to get it at all). Having the remaster books physically is great - re-reading them as well has been fun and educational, particularly the GM Core book. However, I'm unsure whether I want to pick up Monster Core or this book since that...

I am so looking forward to both books. My current campaign has a Tengu character who worships Hei Feng in it, along with a hobgoblin from Oprak. If the players are into it, setting an adventure there with different expectations and new cultures could be a great way to mix it up, particularly at...

Thanks for the comprehensive overview and journalism. It's important to have journalists hold game companies feet to the fire and be critical; it can be too rare in hobbies.

Wonder news for Foundry!! I am glad a customer friendly VTT with an active and open developer community is continuing to expand!! EDIT: while I do not play 5e, I hope this is a strong signal that WoTC will commit to OGL and open gaming and is a sign they will continue to embrace the openness of...

Making a plus thread about something used to only steal from artists of all stripes because you know people will call it out for it's moral wrongness is very cowardly.

Here's an article that goes into more detail. It seems to me that the hatred began after a controversy involving West Side Story: If this makes her the 'most hated woman', I'm going to guess a) it likely didn't have a dramatic impact on the box office on the film and b) these haters are...

Why is Rachel Zegler unpopular? The article also doesn't seem to have any of the facts right? Like it says the film is about the events leading to the Hunger Games... despite the fact that watching the first 30 seconds of a trailer tells you that the film is about the 10th Hunger Games? It...
