It says Gygax wants us to kill Vishnu and take his +3 sword of demon slaying, doesn't it? That seems pretty insulting. (Now I kinda want to ask my Hindu girlfriend what she thinks about Hindu gods having hit points in D&DG. I suspect she wouldn't care, any more than my Heathen friend cares...

I do think people are split off into political echo chambers far more now than even 10 years ago. It's easy to think something is a matter of general consensus when everyone you know agrees with you. I think people attacking Bedrock Brendan should consider that (a) he's a nice left liberal...

Re-presented without comment.

I guess I wouldn't have any problem reprinting any of those that I'm familiar with without comment. A nuanced comment might add helpful context, but a crude comment attacking eg Shakespeare for anti-Semitism would have negative value. We often use To Kill A Mockingbird (film version) at my...

Certainly in right wing X I see people repost left wing stuff without comment on the assumption everyone will know they are mocking its stupidity not agreeing with it.

Or instead of compiling a hit list you could just put them/us on Ignore? Funnily enough the only person on this thread I seem to have on Ignore is apparently on "my" side. We must be an annoying lot 😆

I would not have taken publication without comment/condemnation as endorsement. These are historical artefacts not 5e Spelljammer.

EGG didn't say what you just said he said.

I was more concerned that it said he promoted slavery. But yes it was wholly inappropriate to have it in the foreword like that. Me being mean to EGG here is not comparable.

OK. I'm not going to accuse you of Sealioning yet :D - let's just disagree.

That's how the text I have seen quoted reads to me. Presumably Grummz & co felt the same.

Depends on generation length not total lifespan. Evolution working on existing variation certainly can make a species significantly darker or lighter within a few generations. The moths here in London got darker from the soot-covered buildings within a few decades, and are already getting...

Anglican is a religious group (Episcopalian in the US). Pretty sure you mean Anglo as in Anglo-Saxon, Anglo-American, ie English.

I think Gygax could often be sexist, and it's ok to criticise him for it. Heck I remember teasing him about his stupid Harlot Table here on ENW, back in the day (he took it in good spirit). I don't think it's ok to have the kind of attacks on Gygax and co that appeared in the foreword of a book...

Your standard for "bad faith" seems to be more that he holds different values from you. It's not "bad faith" for him to like people you don't like. He probably doesn't think Shapiro & Prager are bigoted & sexist. What's this about Gygax's "creepy views on inserting rape in gaming sessions"...

You do know you're on ENW right? :D

Have you tried playing D&D with an AI? It would be just like that. :D

1e DMG ofc.

Well I see you guys are having a good time. The Prof DM video that came out today was very good & fits my views pretty well.

100%, Shadowdark. It's absolutely perfect for Barrowmaze. I'd probably buy the 5e version of Barrowmaze for SD, the stats in it are closer to SD stats than are LL stats.
