This is the kind of art I've been wanting for D&D for the last 20 years. And, again I really dig the way they've chosen to be representative. I'm not a fan of representation for representation's sake, but this? They're using these underrepresented groups because these underrepresented groups...

You couldn't substitute "he's edition warring" for (1) and (ii) above without losing almost all of the meaning. The part of the meaning that would remain would be "stop saying these things you're saying".

They're also saying he's edition warring. Being wrong isn't edition warring; neither is edition warring being wrong.

Saying that "they're edition warring" is a silencing tactic, with a semantic value usually equivalent to "they should shut up about this and each talk about games they like instead". Does this silencing serve a useful purpose? Yes, obviously, it was developed out of necessity to curb large scale...

Holy god, yes. Edition warring is a "low crime" specifically enabled by the comment/counter-comment discussion format. It's not a relevant term outside that context.

About 24 hours ago, Mearls asked straight up on twitter whether people thought 5E should go OGL. This despite the fact that he supposedly had all these decisions worked out and was just waiting until 2015 to announce them. To me, this brings to mind the events that unfolded between Clark...

That's a bold move. I can dig their style.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. There haven't been any cases where they're needed to hit that I can recall, but a fair smattering of creatures had resistance to nonmagical weapons in the playtest. E.g., Which could be pretty easily modified to "+x" magical weapons, and would ultimately...

I will be very interested to see what they do with that. Because a "can only be hit by +x or greater" implicitly bakes magic items into the monster math.

I don't like getting involved with old school primer threads because I strongly believe that there is no right or wrong way to play the game, long as everyone's having fun. And it's hard to find kindred spirits in such threads. That said. If you are interested in replacing...

I always look forward to reading a post by Echohawk , because I know for sure that it's going to be constructive and insightful.

Honor and shame are IME huge parts of Japanese society. But it's often difficult, especially for westerners, to predict when and where they will accrue. Because these things are subject to local tradition, and because the western twin concepts of shame and honor are a little different than the...

I'm not 100% on what you're getting at. But unless there's something unusual about HJ's customer/business relationship that I'm just not grasping, I'm pretty sure it's HJ who is losing face by informing their customers they won't be able to purchase the product they want. (You can see this same...

I won't pretend to have any idea how they're handling the licensing, but this is awesome.

I'm sorry you weren't able to find the answer to this question in my post. Happy gaming!

He most certainly does have whites in his eyes, which are at any rate a different color than his skin. I can't see any irises, though--at least not at this resolution.

FWIW your first post sounded ignorantly dismissive to me, too. It sounded like you were saying HJ is some some funny little operation that can't spot the difference between English and Engrish. Glad to hear that this isn't the message you intended to send.

Whatever their plans, I highly doubt they plan to remove D&D from foreign language markets permanently.

Fair enough, I suppose. Personally I think his expression is a dead ringer for the traditional martial arts slow-mo face: blank, focused. But it's hard to be sure at this resolution.
