    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    You do know the thread isn't about old art in D&D or how much of a racist GG was, right? To quote Morrus: " I’ll explain it again. 1) WotC published a history book. In the foreword the authors mentioned briefly some of the historical elements of the game we’re discussing. 2) People online...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    And before we start talking about books burning: let's remember that the there's only one part of the fandom attacking the publication a book for, you know, using 3 sentences to state a provable historical fact.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Not about you. Who cares what you love? Are you on Twitter stating that the verified facts published are an attack on someone? I think not.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    A letter written to a published magazine from another country isnt a private conversation. Gygax knew his words would reach and last. And, sexist remarks said to 3 guys in a room or on front of 10000 followers doesn't change the fact that is a sexist remark.

    D&D 5E (2024) Class Iconic Art in the 2024 Player's Handbook

    On the wildheart: to me, the large nose and ears point to dwarf, but the wild sorcerer also looks like a dwarf to me, so...

    D&D 5E (2024) Class Iconic Art in the 2024 Player's Handbook

    Good portraits, I like them. My only gripes is that it looks more like a fantasy add for Sephora than a rogue gallery of daring adventurers ( maybe not for the abjurer, he's in great need of good skin care)! Adventuring is the domain of beautiful people rocking that 18 charisma. PHB 2024: all...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Problem is, the disclaimer isnt for the situation you are depicting. As we can see from the reaction to a proven, documented fact, the situation from a segment of the fans is: 5E player, "DID YOU KNOW 1E had evil racism, misogyny, etc?" 1E player, " NO. Its wasnt misogyny, it was acceptable...

    D&D General Should ranger get a companion as its 'signature' feature?

    I personally dont care much for pet classes, but I admit this would be a nice niche for them. I would make the pet a weapon. Litterally. Much like a sentient weapon. They have mental stats and personality trait, but cant be attacked or damaged, no more than you can attack or damage the...

    D&D 5E (2014) Suggestions on modifying the BBEG in Storm King's Thunder *SPOILERS*

    Maybe add the petrification acid gas from the gorgon and some kind of passwall effect and you're golden.

    D&D 5E (2014) Suggestions on modifying the BBEG in Storm King's Thunder *SPOILERS*

    Given Imrith lair is full of statues and all that stuff, how about making her an ancient black dragon (acid breath) that is infused with the elemental plane of stone, making her a gigantic gargoyle-like dragon.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Nobody cares what you think about the new art. This is a thread about sexism in the game and the post you quoted isnt about you, I just segue on your "lost camadery" point to argue that if (general) you find theres more division within the fan base, its probably because the "old ways" are no...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Maybe the "lost sence of camadery" is caused be people not being forced to tolerate vile gatekeepers to have the occasion to play a god damn game. People dont have to put up with your crap anymore. If that makes you uncomfortable, well thats all swell to me. It never was camadery, it was you...

    I was about to pre order them, but then noticed that you had to go pick up your preorder to the store, they wont ship it to you and I never go to Saint-Foy. Yes, I prefer to lose the pre order discount than drive 45 minutes in a traffic jam 😅.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Luke seems like a good person indeed, but with all the trouble his own brother (and associates) and stepmother are putting the name Gygax in, I think its fair to say that the Gygax estate is barely mentionable in todays TTrpgs scene. But he is good people, so that is the best one can hope to be...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Something I find funny is the lenghts people will to go to defend the name Gygax, when the dude himself was pretty good as tarnishing his own name at many occasions. And the legacy of Gygax name? Well, we've seen in the past few years that legacy going the path of imploding on itself. Adding a...

    Only if you are the maker of a well known game. The fact that I love something is proof that anything related to it is the pinacle of moral goodness.

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    This isnt a book written by Riggs we're taliing here. The book is written by Peterson. The whole thing isnt about Gygax being sexist in 1975. It is about a group of "fans" in 2024 attacking the authors for stating he held those beliefs back then. Even with proof in hand, saying the founder had...

    D&D Historian Benn Riggs On Gary Gygax & Sexism

    Stay classy Gary! Glad the hobby is moving away from that foul creator. Same thing as the Cthulu mythos: way better now that the public domain is putting the old bigotry to the dumpster.

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Player's Handbook reveal: "New Ranger"

    All this talk about fighter in a green cloak reminded me of my vision of my iconic ranger: Link. Im now okay with spellcasting rangers. Funny how the mind works sometimes.
