first of all if you want to get anywhere with this you can do better than treat us like a goddamn minefield. though if you want to I will say some of the mines are very big, with big blinking red lights with a sign pointing at it saying "THIS IS A MINE DO NOT STEP ON IT". I'm here because I play...

...... okay as a PoC myself, I feel like you're overthinking this. like that's my honest opinion. "does not violate the unwritten standards of inclusivity" what, you think we work together as a shadowy cabal deciding what is and isn't offensive or something just to catch people off guard for...

I mean, that's literally part of an art director's job. they have to make sure all pieces submitted follow the guidelines they set out. this can include stuff like "don't just make every person white" or "try and use period appropriate clothing from this place" or "try not to make everyone look...

no, not "whatever", I gave you an example of something you asked for from my own experience and you respond by lecturing me about dog consumption in Asia? really?

okay but even in the context of not having an accurate setting there are still probably better supplements. OA is 35 years old, not only have there been more wuxia and martial arts films to have come out since then, there's also a lot of older movies you can watch now that weren't readily...

look, I'm exhausted, I'll say this: I'm tired of people mischaracterizing removing the book from the store as "no one can read it". Kwan isn't stupid, he knows that even if WotC took the book off the store people will find a way to read it. the point is WotC as the sole owners of the copyright...

............. you're missing the point, entirely, holy crap.

so others can't speak for everyone but you can? you're advocating that X should always be allowable and deciding this for everyone. also it's not like Kwan is alone in calling for WotC to remove OA, a number of people want it to happen. first of all you weren't that specific, and "letting...

some people are just really into being "politically incorrect". I'm Korean, but only half so it's not apparently obvious I'm Asian. one time while eating at work I was the only Asian guy at the table. a coworker, apropos of nothing, made a joke about Koreans eating dog. I didn't say anything...

okay first of all it's laughable to assume everyone is gonna go out of there way to read other books about the game they're about to play. I know some people are HUGE NERDS about D&D and making their settings, but that's not everyone. 1) that doesn't mean it doesn't happen, 2) it just so...

it's a RPG book with that has a real world issue. I can show that book to someone who's never played RPGs before and they still might find it distasteful, and their distaste is still valid despite never playing RPGs in their life. (I know someone's gonna chime in with the Satanic Panic...

why do we have to take the whole world into the equation? yes, the RPG community is small compared to the rest of the world, vastly so. but in that community there's still minorities in it who still want to feel welcome, and can bring up real world problems. also the community can grow, but...

you mean Asian popular culture made by Asian people for Asian people? actually we shouldn't lump them in together. Stephen Chow took inspiration from Captain Tsubasa when he made Shaolin Soccer, but it's still a movie by a Chinese person for Chinese audiences. they can enjoy the movie with the...

yes, to all of these lol why are you equating this to "banning". if OA were "banned" it would be because DriveThruRPG or it's host removed it from their website. nobody's asking for that, we're asking for WotC to make the conscious decision to remove their own book from sale. and again, why is...

yeah I almost forgot about fax machines too, lol, then I remembered my dad using one all the time when I was young, through the early 2000's even until email was good enough to replace physical documents. other kids talk about not being able to use the internet because their parents had to make...

Appendix J | Atlas of Mystara this website details Japanese releases for BECMI. I have not been able to find credits for any of the Japanese releases, my Japanese isn't good enough to get to the bottom of that unfortunately, all I know is the original publisher was Shinwa up until '92, then the...

the point is the complainers can still have the same old cliche adventure in this new "politically correct" D&D they're so afraid of.

old D&D books have a lot of cultural and racist baggage and we should probably seriously assess the necessity of WotC selling these books for a profit.

okay, I'm gonna nitpick because I brought this up earlier (and even made a thread about it): it's a stretch to say Cook went through the trouble of seeking "cultural consultants". those five Japanese guys (remember also this book covers places outside Japan) were credited as "the players" who...

what does the monetization have to do with it anyway? are people actually giving him grief for profiting off his expertise? he's not allowed to make money doing his job? should we not pay professors to lecture students? lol EDIT: also treating him like he's some sorta outsider when he's someone...
