Thanks. I will take a look.

Ah. I see where you have gotten confused. I am not talking about stats or abilities. Pure physical descriptions not rooted in racist tropes or conventions. Example: The PCs meet the blacksmith. The blacksmith has features consistent with a Samoan man. But I don't want to say, "He looks Samoan."...

Perhaps in your DnD. Not in mine.

As for the audience concerns, I don't worry as much at offending my table. But should I wish to put material out to a broader audience, I feel these are legit concerns.

I wouldnt expect there to be a singular resource. I am happy to be pointed in multiple directions.

So bare with me, and please comment only if you can be constructive and civil. I like to be evocative and vivid with my descriptions when possible, and that includes how NPCs look when PCs encounter them. I also desire to have a diverse cast, with a broad range of ethnic characteristics among a...

A possible strategy: Run a one shot game with your prospective DMs as players. The entire time, pause to explain why you are doing what you are doing. Basically, run an annotated adventure.

This is what I have told myself for years. But on reflection, I know I was being very optimistic.

The impulse to engage in completionism is strong. Definitely have bought things I should not have bothered with as a result. Or just dipping deeper into a game or setting because, "well if I did run it, I would want rules for X". Hell, most White Wolf purchases I made were for this reason.

I think we should also accept the stark reality that if a persecuted minority member goes out to harm a White Nationalist, they are at best going to risk arrest if not being killed by law enforcement, while a White Nationalist can walk out of a supermarket after executing some ten people and...

So I am curious. Disposable income is a resource and being a TTRGP hobbyist is often about managing that resource. I am curious as to how my spending compares to others. Specifically, I buy RPG books knowing that my real use of them in a game may not exist. I have games in my collection, mostly...

People who feel we can just talk it out with Nazis, that feel the need to defend free speech even when it is vile, to be blunt, such people can do so because they will not be the people up against the wall when the time comes, not at first at least. To also be frank, I have enough privilege to...

Scratch a lie, find a thief. Thinks like this are why being ambivalent about White Supremacy can just be a public cover for good old fashioned enthusiastic endorsement.

Oh my sweet, summer child.

Honestly can't agree. DnDBeyond is the best onboarding tool to get rules nervous players into the game I have ever encountered. I just do not like the pricing structure.

for the record, I buy physical copies of anything I really want to have. I still plan to pick up this book, even though as it is at best a 5.1 update to existing material, its not a needed need.

As long as it remains merely an additional option, not a thing. But the fear is that the natural flow of capitalism will encourage removing the first option and instead keep just the individual pieces.

Pardon if my experiences with Video Games selling features piecemeal makes me very warry of such practices.

A more apt analogy is if the theatre, instead of charging $15 for a full, two hour movie, was willing to charge you "just" $5 for the most exciting 15 minutes.

Well wow. Pardon my ignorance. I'm gobsmacked.
