Buddy, I have. You can clarify, but the problem is that it's not changing what you are doing.

But that's not what's going on: people are trying to deflect and sanitize it, while others simply don't want to recognize it at all. You keep talking about "disagreements", but you are always quick to label the side that goes against this stuff as self-righteous while being empathetic the other...

That's not what is going on: it's people raging at a content warning. This is not a discussion on the value of content warnings, it's people talking about Gary Gygax being defamed and slandered by it. We don't need to hear people express those opinions because they are not only unjustified but...

This is pablum. This isn't a nuanced read, this is just enabling people by saying "Why don't we open it up to all viewpoints?" and letting people spew hate at people unnecessarily. No, I think tasteless jokes are less about being funny and more about signaling to ingroups and belittling...

You're just muddying things unnecessarily. People can be complicated doesn't mean we can't just outright say they were sexist. "Letting people have different reactions" in this case is just enabling a hate mob in a culture war battle. That doesn't really make it better. Again, you're just...

You're posting a lot of words for something very simple. These kinds of threads aren't creating targets, the people in them who want to explain away Gary, Rob, et al. are defending targeting. That's the long and short. I don't really see that as the case here, especially when you seem to roil...

You like using this idea of "righteous anger" when someone critiques someone like Kuntz, but you don't seem to attribute Kuntz's overreaction as the same sort of thing, which is weird because his anger seems way closer to the sort of thing you are describing. Then you should stop trying to...

No, it's largely culture war. This stuff happens all the time outside of RPGs, this is just culture war stuff of recognizing bad stuff for what it was, rather than gloss over or even wax nostalgic on it for some people. The reason parts of a small paragraph in an introduction matter are just...

Ah, I like that we've found the magic third thing that "rising star" Gina Carano was "cancelled" for, which kind of shows how dumb this whole tangent was in the first place. It can all basically be summed in one tweet: I think there is actually a decent historical example of what people would...

It's a neat idea, but the inherent problems with systems of organization is that there will always be things that don't fit cleanly into your system, or arguments about where to place 'em. It's a taste thing and I see both sides of the argument on the matter.

Oh, I know. It's not like this is on the back cover or something. The hand-wringing on the topic is utterly inane. People just can't handle any sort of recognition of this stuff.

I mean, they have to read a lot of things before moving to the US, so this really doesn't help your comparison, but it's bad on its own: moving to a country isn't "content", hence no "content warning". I dunno, I feel like whinging about a disclaimer is way more annoying and unnecessary here...

Hookay. So. There's a rather long history of debate around where something like "Cure Light Wounds" goes when it comes to schools. Back in 1E & 2E, it was Necromantic, under the assumption that it was dealt with life and death (or so I always heard). That got changed in 3E to Conjuration, from...

It hasn't been mentioned, but there are technically four core books: Player Core 1, GM Core, Monster Core, and Player Core 2, which releases at the end of the month (but I'm eagerly waiting on my book to ship in the next day or so so I can get access to the PDF). I suppose you don't need Player...

Golarion seems really disparate and disconnected, but the lore is incredibly interconnected as to how different regions and states developed. For all their thematic differences, there was some real work done on the back end to connected the areas around it with a sort of cohesive regional...

Yeah, but that stuff isn't stopped by an adversarial GM, it's encouraged: when you are fighting against someone who has power over the story, you look for anything you can get. When you get away from people feeling like they need to scrap every advantage for every thing because the GM is going...

It can be, depending on how you go about it. It also depends on what you mean by "get away with something", which often to me is the players cleverly planning in a way the GM didn't expect. To me, the idea of "getting away with something" is very much a viewpoint of adversarial GMs who feel like...

You're not wrong. I get removing Spell Schools and on one hand, I do kind of like it? We don't need to try and create specific wizarding schools based around these rather controversial and often forced ideas of "schools" that always have weird additions or exclusions (Hellooooooo, Cure...

There are a few (I don't know how many) that specifically key off of the schools. For example, Sepulchral Sublimation basically lets you kill a minion and then you can cast a Necromancy spell equal to half the minion's level without wasting a slot. Cool feat with cool flavor (almost a villain...
