Definitely remember the Mystara Gazetteer series. Virtually every Gazetteer had a woman with a plunging neckline on the cover.

D&D 2024 is still an incredible success. I haven’t seen anything to suggest that his rant has had any impact on D&D 2024 or Hasbro’s share price.

And losing. I have to wonder if trying to steal candy from a baby wouldn’t be more within his capabilities.

Wow, your argument must be struggling to immediately reach for whattaboutism!

Honestly, because of this I’d rather give traffic to Morrus’ site than Musk’s.

This isn’t true. It isn’t even the thread with the highest page count currently active on Enworld (that would be the thread on Rule Zero). Edit. I’ve been corrected that the NuTSR thread has even more pages.

Just a friendly reminder that @Zardnaar is just wrong about this. When my mom arrived in the US, she couldn’t open a bank account in her own name. She had essentially no recourse if she was harassed on the job. She couldn’t get an abortion in a lot of states. Things may have gotten worse...

Well, yes, it was an exaggeration, though a slight one. I mean, if you start by excluding 50% of the population (all women), I’m not sure you get a pat on the back for saying « I think we can all agree that Mr. Gygax was less sexist than men in countries were women weren’t allowed to vote. »

It’s even older than that: « We are what we pretend to be, so we should be careful about what we pretend to be. » Kurt Vonnegut

How far down the rabbit hole do we need to follow the « man of his time » argument before it becomes an excuse? Sure, Mr. Smith was more racist than most people in the 1970s, but he was in line with white heterosexual male Calvinist Protestants (Western Convention) from Peoria born in the...

I’m sorry, but I just don’t give your experience of these matters as much weight as I give my own.

What are your specific criticisms of the foreward?

You say « the kinds of critiques found in the foreward ». What about the actual wording in the actual foreward being discussed? Do you think it went too far? If so, what parts specifically? Because, like with your claims about posts « demonizing » Gary Gygax, it feels like you are being...

Who is suggesting that? Quote the post. Otherwise, you’re just strawmanning and concern trolling.

Seems that would break my immersion as a player.

Does it mean no worries, until the end of your days?

That’s just an opinion though. In a lot of ways, 3rd edition is the outlier, with a definitive shift of power from the DM, RAW as a meaningful interpretive tool, dozens of classes, thousands of feats. 1e didn’t even have skills! Saying 4e is the outlier feels like a way to dismiss 4e as « not...

This seems like a contradiction in terms: a GM that wants a game with a lot of setting elements but doesn’t want to create setting elements.

It gets a little fraught and detailed: I ended up changing a bunch of elements across the full game. The martial characters get the equivalent of non-magical invocations that they can choose. These provide bonuses like extra movement, extra skills, bonuses of certain checks (like with...

What kind of problem do we have? Kick-down the door dungeon crawls exist and are a valid way to play the game. If neither the DM or the player want to create a lot of setting elements, that is what you would get, and for DMs/players who don’t want to create a lot of setting elements, it...
