The WHAT? Oki the inet is great i seem to learn something new everyday. EDIT: So this is the magic bullet then, not only it is a nono that Drow are genereally evil but an absolute nonono that the most evil of them are women ruling them, while matriarchy according to the new code would...

No RL associations here .... Ah well if there are any they are pure coincidence, i swear! Haha :P

Haha, i know how to define your post very clearly, it is an expert example on superb British humor.

See thats the thing, back when i started (mostly 2E) FR had these chocolate chips like Wildmagic and Deadmagic zones, the prominent Underdark made popular by the Drizzt stories, well GHK had Underdark and the classic quuen of spiders module is from this setting but FRs underdark had much more...

So, how do you define a vanilla setting, specifically as an example which setting is most vanilla to you, FR or GHK or maybe even DL?

You got some strong points there and i do not disagree with you on that it is difficult to do low magic with D&D especially with 5e and also on your view on economics of such a product. But on one thing i disagree namely in my pov Greyhawk is more vanilla than even FR. FR has some feats not...

You nailed it but ... He said Dragon born ! Stone him ! :P

And this is the problem, instead of portraying them as the inhumane cruel psychopathic monster anti-elf, an evil twin to the (as unrealistic, because as purely fictional) peaceful natureloving lightskinned "relatives", these days reflections and projections (look up these two words in the...

There is a six book series about some drow protagonist, written by different authors as a hommage to Salvatore. It is much more PG 18+ than the original Drizzt stuff. The Drow, if portrayed right, are one of the most cruel and psychopathic D&D races of them all, and the Underdark is one of the...

So, Rey DoUrden then ? :P

Oh well, a spear if it hits like intended (with its sharp pointy end) does a lot more damage IRL than a quarterstaff. Also a greatclub (let us assume 4Lbs of mass at the point of impact and a lever of 4 ft) will hurt you much more severe if it smashes down on your skull, than a Quarterstaff (...

yea i know i exaggerated a bit for rethorics, but you also wrote that it is a two handed weapon. My beef with the RAW comes with it in comparison with spear and greatclub, analyse all three in RAW and what feats apply and damage and you will understand.

Show me how you use a quarterstaff one handed, (it is RAW somehow, i know) I don't know who at wizards came up with the idea to make a simple stick one of the most powerful non magic weapons in the game. I houserule quarterstaff to do 1d6 and be two handed use only. And it is a traditional...

Is it Wednsday is a caricature on Poison Ivy?

It is not so much the big flying ships which could make your campaign planning a bit complicated. It works out quite well if designed like in Eberron. It is more the individual capability of flight, which is unfortunately hard coded into the PHB, so if you would love to play without housrules...

Well, i did not imply anything, and i asume you also did not imply my knowledge about philosophy is coming mostly from twitter? Let us stop the thread derailing please, shall we? I know we do not have the same alignment, but that is ok for me :P

Oh thanks for the guidance, i did not want to argue about politics because once it is not feasible on this board, and even if it were, to many people mistake feelings for facts these days, so that would further turn me down from it. My intention was just to write down some very basic definition...

Well nothing stops you from playing that way, doesn't it? Of course this shouldbe somehow agreed upon upfront because it's not everyones prefered style, at least most of the time. So imho your example do just express that probably many players in 2e with TN or CN alignment did not play true to...

Na i am rather of the folks like you, having some levelled and classed NPCs for key roles like leaders, guards, temple services etc. (Also some classed mobs althoughi overdid it a bit in my own GHK campaign eventually since classed ork army has a very different set of strengths and weaknesses...

An anarchist society will be abused by definition aka default. If you introduce rules on how anarchic you may be at maximum then you introduce lawful. A lawful society will not prevent abuse by the strong by default, but might have much more safeguarding processes against it (working legislative...
