    D&D 5E (2014) Adventures in Middle-Earth [OOC]

    I’m good with the characters knowing each other, I was thinking Utfred had been on the road for around two years, maybe a little less, so he should have been able to travel to a decent amount of places. Here rarely stays in one place for long. I would have thought more people would have jumped...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    Yes the Scouts will begin letting girls in, which is a good thing in my opinion, because they will have to interact with each other and learn to set boundaries at an earlier age. As for the scouts being inclusive and the girl scouts being exclusive I understand how you can see that as a...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    I know this post seems to be a big flashing don’t feed the bears/trolls sign but even with his several faults I love Animal Farm and 1984. Orwell predicted replacing the power of men and replacing them with a powerless castrati in 1984, this is what you are actually claiming? Three...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    The QR code is a good idea. One of my biggest issues with policies with bad behaviors, or inappropriate comments is they don't often give examples of what those could be. I would expect most people out of college or a few years out of highschool to have a good idea of what acceptable behaviors...

    Harassment Policies: New Allegations Show More Work To Be Done

    My suggestion would be to make it personal. Yes have it posted as you walk in the door and at many different points in the venue but hire a few more people, (charge $5 a person more to do this if you have to) to explain to everyone as they register what the policy is, and more importantly why...

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    I'm sorry I did not know that popular opinion trumped what was right. So should Maxperson and I give you tribute, or do you need a lamb or goat for slaughter?

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    Of course it's not free, unless you stole it, but you didn't have to buy it. There are many reviews of an official product before it is released, and if you wait a week or two there are plenty of player's/DM's that have given an Amazon review, so if you pay for something you don't want that's on...

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    That's nice, and while I in general agree, I would like my main rule books to be setting neutral, I know most don't, and I know this because almost every single popular TTRPG writes a setting into their core rule book. Now I may not want that to be true, much like I would like to have enough...

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    Can you share your insight, on these well-established ways. I don't expect you to actually detail but perhaps a link. I know its alot to ask because we all should know, but it may help your point.

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    That is not funny and uncalled for, Maxperson did not present a when did stop beating your wife situation, he was calling out Hussar for not phrasing his objections in a clear way. I understand you wanting to point out that Hussar may have been unclear in his statements or to absolute, but to...

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    From other threads you seem to point out the difference between a player presenting a situation in a passive voice, asking. Versus saying what they are doing and thus making the GM rule. To me they are the same, but to you they are techniques and once again subject to verbiage. The fact that you...

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    Wow, could you be more offensive or condescending in one forum post? “Endless setting wank” that serves no purpose in a forum discussion. If you don’t like it that is find, but that comment is over the line. Also it is meant to be read by GM’s and then played if the characters run into that...

    What is *worldbuilding* for?

    Well wouldn't that be their back story? If they haven't bothered to write a backstory before the game, why should they expect free will to rewrite their backstory? Wouldn't they know the general idea of the world? Now for the swimming hole question I have yet to find the GM who has every city...

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    I find this an odd take since your other thread on world building and how others play D&D seems to be focused on the exact verbiage that players and GM’s use. A lot of your post/threads seem to revolve around correct and proper language use so this seems off. I am one not to care about...

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    So would that be an appeal to authority? Should I trust those sources over Maxperson or Ovinomancer? Should we compare how long they have played the game, what they have written? or hand size? Or should we discuss the issue on its merits and not try to one up each other on who agrees with who...

    Why Worldbuilding is Bad

    I may not find your play style, and since as per protocol your post reflect your preferred playstyle, your post something I agree with on the regular. I will agree with Casablanca being the best film from that era. Citizen Kane was good but at the same time it is now overrated. Side note my...
