    You are correct, and I was indeed mistaken. My apologies.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Thanks everyone for good thoughts/vibes, mostly I was tongue-in-cheek but it has been a rough day which maybe accounts for the gallows humor a bit. Life's not easy for a trans gal when they work in a library on a college campus and campus has to allow some students to form a student club whose...

    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    I don't know that the way it was handled was much different (with exception to the usual differences between AD&D and 3.X stats), but that, out of all of the literal hundreds of official 3rd edition products, OA was the one chosen to mark the return of the stat. Why OA and not any other...

    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    If I hated myself enough to wade back into this debate, I'd point out that the fact that they chose OA as the product to re-introduce Comeliness is exactly the kind of exoticization and sexualization that the podcast hosts were talking about, and thus the stupid stat existing for different...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Always set aside and keep time for the things that you love to do. Which seems like an unnecessary thing to say to an online forum for hardcore fans of tabletop role-playing games, but in dark times it can be hard to let oneself take that time and enjoyment.

    D&D 5E (2024) Wild Magic Sorcerer is Best Sorcerer Subclass

    I'm just saying, playing Baldur's Gate 3 recently and I did fully turn , the demigod terror who nearly brought the city of Baldur's Gate to its knees to appease his father, the god of murder, into a cute, fluffy little kitty cat for a couple of turns, and I don't see any other subclasses pulling...

    D&D 5E (2024) 2024 Class Rankings (from nat1gaming.com) for ppl who believe that stuff.

    It's a good that this is a game about collaborative problem-solving and not an MMO/MOBA/Royale/Gacha/etc and therefore these kinds of tiers and rankings are fully meaningless in actual practice.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    You're telling me that the RPG Pundit's publisher is concerned about the chilling effect of political correctness on creative output???

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    #4 is the hardest part. Especially in situations the argument is deliberately targeted at a specific group of people, where silence can feel like a stab in a back at worst, or even at best a resignation that said group isn't worth fighting for. I can tell you, without getting too overtly...

    Ah, but can you speak ancient Greek?

    D&D General Drow & Orcs Removed from the Monster Manual

    I wondered how that could happen, but then I just encountered a three-page thread that I can see exactly three posts in :oops:

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    There's a film coming down the pipe featuring Rey and a New Jedi Order that announced it had a new screenwriter like... a week or two ago, so as of right now yeah that's still happening. Simon Kinberg's also supposedly got a new trilogy in the works set after RoS and the scuttlebutt is will also...

    I really don't think our entertainment should be teaching us to look for hope from institutions at the moment...

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    In Rise of Skywalker, there's a lightsaber battle between Rey on planet-side and Kylo in the capital ship, who keep accidentally projecting at each other and thus being able to fight.

    General star wars talk/discussion/complaining

    I also in general learned about myself, after full-on ugly sobbing over meeting the Rey cast member at Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland in front my family, my friends, the Blue Milk vendor, and Chewbacca, that she's actually an incredibly important character to me, particularly as a massive Star Wars...
