Right. Because engaging them like this worked out so well for Marvel and Ghostbusters. How about we try effective tactics and not suicide bombings?

Depends on your priorities. Mine are to gain victory with the fewest losses. Sacrificinh DnD this way does not strike me as an intelligent tactic. DnD had been engaging indirectly before. That works well, and keeps the game around for the aftermath.

Ghostbusters, Marvel, Yahoo, and Gawker Media all took that same stance. How many of those came out the better for it? Ignoring the trolls would have undercut their voice and allowed the game to fight it without directly engaging. And no direct engagement deprives them of the majority of their...

No. Then I would have said both sides are trolling equally rather than telling Mearls not to feed the trolls. He was addressing only one side. The issue of tactics is an entirely different matter, and a much more complex argument. What I am saying, in effect, is that this fight is way too...

It varies as to whether or not it is sexism. In a lot of cases, nmen get exactly the same treatment. So, to call it unqualified sexism reveals the prejudices about being questioned of those who hold the view, and in my experience typical of those who are not open to actual dialogue on the issue...

What was Mearls thinking? This is one of the worst societal conflicts in recent history. Both sides are openly engaged in a holy war with each other and actively harass each other, to the point of ruining lives and sometimes driving each other to suicide. Mr. Mearls, if you are reading this...

This is an interesting article, though I am raising my eyebrow at it. It outright confuses "suspension of disbelief" with "immersion," which are actually opposite approaches as far as roleplaying go. This is about how to get players to practice their suspension of disbelief from the outset, not...

There's also the possibility the PCs are defending people stuck in the middle of wars. It was not unusual in history for two empires to meet and fight in some land between both of them. Plus, it makes for a more nuanced story to have the PCs see the good and bad of both sides from the...

Whoops! I think I was half-asleep during the portion where I did armor. Corrected. Now, to test rolling... Or not, because I need to go back through the stickies and figure out the rolling :confused:

I bet we're going to have an interesting time with this one. I wonder how many of us will have our characters survive until the end...

I'm sorry for the delays; this week at work has been hectic as you cannot believe. How in the world they can use up our entire stock every day, I will never understand. I have it written, I just need to type it. I will have it up after work tomorrow.

Tyr is also blind. I was actually imagining her wearing the standard Tyr-follower blindfold (one that doesn't actually restrict sight), but pretending to be blind for comedy purposes on occasion. And acting horrified and shocked when someone points out she's a drow ("I'm one of the dark elves...

We TPKed. Twice. Because I kept rolling the "Fireball" result on the Wild Magic table.
