Yes, in Roman mythology Medusa is a human cursed because she had involuntary sex with Neptune in Athena’s temple. In the Greek tales she is one of three sisters born of supernatural parents. Her sisters were immortal, Medusa was not. The Pegasus was born from Medusa’s death and was ridden by...

That depends on the myth interpretation. In the Greek myths she was a gorgon and not cursed. In the Roman myths she was. Interesting that you note the Greek myths and then blame the Greek gods for the creation of Pegasus when Pegasus was born from the death of Medusa and has nothing to do with...

Perhaps because the original monster was a female cursed by her goddess for being unfaithful, the monster was unique and no thought was given to procreation. It’s not that difficult.

The flex die is a second die that can provide a benefit if the maximum of that die is rolled. No bonuses are added to a flex die. A flex die can allow the user to regains stamina point, succeed on a failed roll or cause a critical hit in attack rolls.

I think it’s silly but it’s not a big deal. Not every creature needs to be represented by their sex or have a sex at all. For example, there does not need to be male, female or hermaphrodite elementals.

Well then you are playing the succubus/incubus wrong. They are supposed to inspire naughty thoughts.

Your argument would make more sense if other D&D leadership was included warts and all. Is there a section on Lorraine Williams and her disastrous tenure as owner of TSR?

Yes but what purpose does it serve? Obviously it was not so offensive to you that you did not quit the hobby. I just am not interested in buying a history of the game I love to read about Ben going out of his way to trash it. Don’t elaborate on the positives Ben. Just talk about how enlightened...

That depends on the context Morris. If your reason for bringing it up is to virtue signal how wonderful D&D is now compared to its start I am not buying it. Especially as Hasbro has fumbled the ball repeatedly with firing staff, giving their departing CEo unearned severance packages, using AI...

I don’t know why this virtue signaling needs to be raised from the dead so much. It’s fantasy and most fantasy has tropes. If you read fantasy by Bob TSR authors there is a lot of this present and there are A LOT more women devoted to fantasy reading than men. I never had an issue with the...

I don’t like any of these ideas. I think the old alignment systems works well enough. Just give guidelines for flexibility and grade on a curve. Alignment shouldn’t be a gotcha but people have guidelines in real life and most people would not associate with a hobo murderer who cannot keep their...

Yes, it’s on Amazon Prime and I bought seasons 1 &. 2 there

Great episode. I loved that series. The music and mood were fantastic. That series was very innovative such as adding the Muslin outlaw to the mix. The character was supposed to die but the cast really liked the actor who played the role so the character was incorporated into the band of...

I don’t know if 5.5 will be easy mode. A lot of the rules PC’s can use also can be applied to most monsters. Simply give an ogre or a fire giant a great sword and even DM misses do strength damage. Orcs could use healing potions as bonus actions too and most monsters will have spell like...

I am very excited about the update to 5e. I already preordered.

I am saying that PF2 is very much a D&D 4E clone. Attacks scaling every even level. Feats at every even level. Feat taxes, spells being reduced in effectives drastically. Monster hit point bloat. Its all very 4E to me

I have to disagree. The Age of Mortals was terrible. I did not like that 40 years after the War of the Lance the Gods of Krynn have the attention span of a gnat and abandon the world. I also disliked Takhissis being slain by Silvanoshei. I understand that they need to flush out the other gods...

The only way I would walk away is if the game reverted to 4E. That is the reason I quit Pathfinder 2

I think people want a challenge. I do not think they want a real chance of death. If you look at how the game has changed, much more has been done to minimize character death. Higher hit point averages for all classes, Death Saves vs death at zero or negative hit points, poison doing hit point...

I am not sure mathematically there is much difference but I noticed a big difference in playtest classes such as sorcerer and fighter. I loved the warlock with half caster and dislike that pact magic is back. Half caster warlock felt amazing
