    Bad Faith and Sealioning

    True but seeing it is not enough, often it takes time after seeing to consider it and then the mind is changed. A lot of Umbran's points are still valid. There are also people that think that their opinion is based on facts and that they will change their mind if presented with contrary evidence...

    Bad Faith and Sealioning

    Did not realize until I got to the end that this was a necroed thread but internet arguments cannot be won or lost. There are no real stakes and no adjudication of victory. Many people cannot give the other the last word and once the same points have been gone over more than once it is time to...

    What Should An Introductory Scenario Look Like?

    Given the answers here, what time frame are people thinking of when they think a session?

    What Should An Introductory Scenario Look Like?

    Do not get me wrong, I think that Lost Mines is a pretty good starting campaign but not where I would start for people new to rpgs.

    What Should An Introductory Scenario Look Like?

    If it just introducing people to ttrpg as a one shot, then Phandelver is too long. It is a good starter campaign but something like the Delian Tomb is a better cold start. I would also start the players in media res. For example, in the case of the Delian Tomb, I would have to goblins assault...

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Maps now supports monster stat blocks

    Totally agree, it is pretty workable now. Could do with some filtering tools for tokens and a way to do custom tokens.

    D&D 5E (2014) D&D Maps now supports monster stat blocks

    Looks like the Maps VTT has taken a big step forward. It now supports statblocks, access to the creature entry in the map initiative tool. I reckon it is now a fully functional VTT.

    D&D General “‘Scantily Clad and Well Proportioned’: Sexism and Gender Stereotyping in the Gaming Worlds of TSR and Dungeons & Dragons.”

    The funniest bit is that I rarely sound off about this stuff (though the thoughts occur) the one time I do there is some justification for the things I am sounding off on.

    D&D General “‘Scantily Clad and Well Proportioned’: Sexism and Gender Stereotyping in the Gaming Worlds of TSR and Dungeons & Dragons.”

    Ok, that specifically makes sense, since gladiator armour often does not but that has not sopped many many artist portraying people (mostly women) in equally silly outfits.

    D&D General “‘Scantily Clad and Well Proportioned’: Sexism and Gender Stereotyping in the Gaming Worlds of TSR and Dungeons & Dragons.”

    Beefcake, cheesecake and the ratios thereof; is the miss the point, it is not the individual art pieces are good or bad or acceptable or not acceptable but uniformity of the art style and the uniformity of their depictions of men and women that is the issue. That said, the above image and it...

    He still would be if he stayed away from social media.

    D&D General The Human Side of D&D History - From Gary Gygax to Temple of Elemental Evil

    No they are not and I was arguing for such. Just that taboo topic also lead to injustice and worse.

    So was Twitter, they had poison pills prepared but in the event decide to capitulate.

    Hasbro Stock Price Surges After Elon Musk Makes Comments About Purchasing Company

    YEs, but drastic changes are usually generational or even more sometimes. The immediate fallout of the French Revolution took 25 or so years to resolve (and a continental war) but the causal elements destabilised European politics for most of the next century. Some might argue that they are...

    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    In all fairness to Chris Cox, his greed is immaterial, unless he is a major shareholder in the company. His job is to do what the board tells him, which is probably along the lines of "make line go up". Nothing he has said suggest that he has any particular novel vision for Hasbro or WoTC. He...

    D&D General Elon Musk Wants To Know 'How Much Is Hasbro?'

    Now you are giving him the idea to buy Terraforming Mars, I like that game also.
